This outfit was inspired by an email I got from a reader. And by inspired, I mean copied in absolutely every detail. That's what 'inspiration' means, right?
You see, about a month ago I got an email from a very sweet reader from Iceland* named Gyða - she had just come back from a recent vacation in France, where she'd picked up this same pink striped sweater from H&M and, remembering this post of mine, worn it on a visit to Versailles.
Seriously, how cute is this girl?
She was even sweet enough to have a friend snap some photos of her there and send them to me (and to let me share them with you guys - thanks again, Gyða!). I was so flattered by her thoughtful note, and I just loved the casual way she styled her sweater with cutoffs and a braided belt, so I decided to recreate it with similar pieces from my suitcase! Sometimes it's nice not to have to even think about what to wear in the morning, and this outfit was just perfect for a sunny afternoon spent sightseeing around the Bundestag and strolling the entirety of Tiergarten.
*Which is incidentally still the coolest place I have ever been in my life, hands down.

this is such a good outfit that everyone with that sweater should re-create it!
What a great story! I love how blogging can bring people together like this. Plus, that's such a great casual-but-pulled-together look, with the pink and the blue and the varying lengths of things. (Wow, that sounds way dorkier than I intended it to.) Thanks to both you and Gyða for making this thing happen! It makes me super inspired about the blogging community and what fun little connections can be made.
Cute, that's such a flattering shade of pink (on both of you)!
That ring is SO great. and I love your matching outfit.

I love that sweater, such a great color!
I love that top and the ring!
i've been looking for a pair of jean shorts that hit mid-thigh like yours with no luck! i need to go to target! you both have great outfits - i love how they are similar but still different!
I couldn't agree more - Clare, I'm looking at you next!
Me too! This (and 'this' in a larger sense) is exactly what has made me love blogging so much, for such an odd hobby, it has connected me to so many fun, interesting people!
Thanks Kerry! This has definitely become a go-to color for me when shopping, I always love how it looks.
Thanks! I got a little obsessed with finding the perfect rough crystal/geode ring earlier this spring, but they were all so expense - and then I just stumbled onto this perfect, affordable (i.e. plastic) version at H&M. :)
Thanks Johanna! I love it too, anything that's both striped and pink is a winner in my book. :)
Thanks Chaucee! I love them too, and I love how saccharine-sweet they are together.
Definitely give Target a shot - these were an impulse buy there right before we left for Belgium, and although I haven't worn them on the blog before, I have already gotten a ton of use out of them!
that is just the cutest thing!!!
I know, right? So sweet! :)
