Sunday best {pleated gold}

I recently spotted this ensemble in my newest Lucky mag and realized that I had a very similar skirt (seen in all it's glory here originally) and a black blazer has become a closet staple for everyone, so I've got that covered too. So I tore it out and stuck it with the pile of dusty torn inspiration pages for a rainy day. Said day arrived yesterday and here is the result.

I added a cable sweater instead of a blouse, as it made it a little more comfortable for me. I'm constantly finding inspiration from looks worn by fashion-loving girls all over the web or mags, but when I copy them they are always interpreted in a more laid back way. Not sure if I'm too scared to go all out or if I just don't have a place to wear that same outfit, all out. Probably the latter. If I had opportunity, I think I'd be all over it! 

Truly, I love to dress like every day is a special occasion. 

It's what makes me happy. Just does.
