Chic for Cheap: A Wedding Guest

It's time for the latest installment of Chic for Cheap.  This look comes at the request of reader Catherine, who will soon be attending a wedding with some dear old friends.  Here's how Catherine describes this challenge: 

"This spring, I'm getting together with a few "long lost" friends that I haven't seen in ten years.  I've changed a lot since then physically (thanks to my sons and a sedentary lifestyle), but want the confidence that I had back in the day.  We're all meeting up for a wedding, so I need something appropriate for that event but also fun and comfortable with my new body (on the plus size border).  I have been searching, but feel overwhelmed and a little lost.  I'd love to have some input."

I thought I'd try a look with pants, and I love this shirt with its delicate ruffles and wonderful color, and think it looks great paired with these wide-leg trousers and peep-toe pumps.  You don't want to leave your piggies bare with amazing shoes like these, so brush on some pretty polish, put on the earrings, and you're good to go.

Have a wonderful time with your friends Catherine!  I'm sure whatever you decide to wear, you will look amazing.

In Good Company: Lisa Stickley

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I came across the Lisa Stickley online shop a few weeks ago {via My Black Book}.  I love the shapes and textiles used on the bags and accessories... actually, I'm pretty much in love with it all.  See everything right here.  Psst... they also ship worldwide!  Oot Oot!

Inspired Artist: Gustavo Aimar

You simply must take a look through the flickr photostream of artist Gustavo Aimar.  I can't get enough and dearly wish that he had a shop to purchase prints and such from.  So wonderful!  See more from Gustavo on: {FLICKR} . {BLOG}
