Inspired by Marni's Color Scheme

As some of you may be aware I have 

this cropped Style & Co. jacket on trial:

Last week when I asked ideas on how I could wear it, 

I received many useful comments.

Some of these pointed that 

 I have yet to try is pairing it with a LBD, a flared skirt and 

some blue, grey and brown hues...

The thing is I am not sure I own a flared skirt or 

have blue hues to pair it with ....

but, I will have to check my closet and see what I come up

with or maybe it's just an indication that I need

to get some garments 

(oh, what a great excuse!)

So while I get to exploring my closet, I got an 

inspired look -inspired on color scheme below ....

While the colors are not exactly the same...

here's my look.

Also in case you want to know how the shower story ended....

They already picked a date, which is THIS Saturday,

a day I already have plans for: at the beach.

I have no intention of staying for this gimmicky shower.

Long story short, we are spending more on the

shower than she will ever get in present$.

Which I think it's idiotic.

But, I am dropping the ball here.

SO, they will only be taking my money.
