Thrifted Pinterest - Zooey

Today's Thrifted Pinterest is brought to you courtesy of another blogger who re-creates high end looks with more affordable pieces.  She happens to show up quite a bit on my Pinterest feed, so I thought I'd take it one step farther, and re-create one of her looks with thrifted, resale, or DIY pieces!  I'm talking about J from J's Everyday Fashion, and here's the outfit that inspired me:

When I put my outfit on, I realized I really needed tights with my skirt, since it seems like it's always super windy when I decide to wear it, and there's no way I'm wearing a skirt on a windy day without something under it!

I then realized I really needed to change my shoes, not because I don't love them, but because I looked like I was attempting to be a Zooey Deschanel impersonator!  Case in point:

Don't get me wrong, I love Zooey!  She's adorable, and I want quite a few of her outfits, but that just wasn't the vibe I was wanting on this particular day.  So, after all my tweaks, here's the finished product:
