Inspiration Monday: Olivia Palermo

Today, I�m joining up with Two Birds and countless others for Inspiration Monday.  Our inspiration today is Olivia Palermo:

 

 

I have to admit that I don�t really understand who she is or why she�s famous.  Is she famous?  I don�t think she has a sex tape, so probably not.  Anyway, what I do know about her is that she can definitely dress.  She always looks on trend without looking like she�s a slave to trends.  Take the above outfit as an example; she�s doing the �global chic� thing, but she�s doing it her way.

 

And here I am, doing it my way:

 

 

 I almost didn�t participate today because I don�t have a white dress (not for lack of trying though; I just canNOT find one I like).  And then I remembered that I have a white skirt (Ann Taylor) and a white shirt (Gap) so I wore those in lieu of a dress. 

 

I finished the look with some layered necklaces and some self-tasseled sandals (Jeffrey Campbell via Nordstrom):

 

 

 

I STILL want a white dress, dammit, but I think this�ll do in a pinch.

 

Happy Monday, All!
