Pinspired Thursday

Pinspired Thursday
My friend and Thirty-One consultant, Kodi, hosts a fun link up which challenges you to TRY the things you pin on Pinterest.  So far my recipe board has been the most used of all my boards.  I have blogged about the recipes I've tried before and all of them have been SUPER yummy so far...that is, until I made the buffalo chicken casserole.
I wanted to love this.  I thought it would be similar to the buffalo chicken dip that Jimmy and I LOVE but it was far from it.  It looked a little like mold thanks to the blue cheese and the texture of it was a little slimy.  It made me vommy if I'm being honest.  Jimmy thought it was "ok" but the fact that there was 3/4 of a pan left and he never took any leftovers tells me he wasn't a fan either.  

My second most used board is the "My Style" board.  Let's face it, mama is cheap.  Mama has no money to spend on a brand new wardrobe.  So browsing the style boards to try and find new outfits out of old pieces is like the greatest challenge.
I think one of my first pins was from Kendi Everyday.  She has an effortless chic style and I'd love to shop her closet or hire her as my personal stylist.  Girl is gorgeous.  OK enough with my girl crush.  She posed in this adorable outfit and I think it is one of the most repined looks on Pinterest.
 
I had a similar dress and belt and plenty of cardigans so I thought I could do this look.  The only thing is that I'm a shorty so wearing flat boots with a maxi dress isn't an option for me so I opted for sky high wedges and a mustard cardi.
I admit, Kendi looks WAY cuter but I thought I did alright recreating.
My next look came from this outfit.
I loved the effortlessness of this look.  She looks pulled together but like she's not trying to hard.  I couldn't tell if she had leggings or jeans on but I can't bring myself to wear leggings as pants so I went with skinny jeans instead.
Pretty close right?  And a cute baby in the corner always helps.
My final looks was {p}inspired by the one and only Kristen Cavalari.
Again, I think this has been repined 5001 times too and I think it's because it's so easy and so achievable.  Everyone has a pair of jeans, a white tee and a scarf, right?
   Nothing really fancy about this outfit.  Pretty simple.  But that toddler rolling on the floor?  She's pretty damn cute, right!?

So those are some of my recent Pinterest finds.  I have a lot of craft things I want to try with Kendall so maybe next week!
What's got you {P}inspired?

  1. Totes got sidetracked from KP rolling on the floor.

    Love all the pinspirations for style. Love me some KC and scarf look. In fact, I'll be sporting that this weekend in MI.

    You should do OOTD pins. I think you've got a pretty cool style, too.

  8. Super cute! Do I need to say it again? You look awesome. I like the last one, but I'm a simple tee and jeans girl. I have scarves, but never really use them...I'll keep that one in mind. :)
