Inspiration Monday Pic

Good morning all!!!  Typically I'm not quite so cheery on a Monday morning but after a long weekend, I actually have another day off!  Foreseeing my reluctance to return on this Monday after Thanksgiving weekend, I requested to take this day off to make it a full FIVE day weekend.  Sweet!  Soooo, with further ado, I present the IM pic of the week:


Miss Jessica Alba looking so comfy and casual!  And here is my version...


I had to swipe a button up shirt from the hub's side of the closet since I'm not a big fan.  I find they never really fit me right.  They're either too tight around the hips or they gap at the cleavage area (don't want to blow a button and put someone's eye out!) plus they usually come in 100% cotton which means ironing is involved... Not my thing. 

I did like how this looked though once I got it fashioned "my way".  I would never have thought to put this together myself so I'm going to link up with all the ladies over at Visible Monday too.  I may be borrowing this again!

Don't know what the Inspiration Monday pic is all about?  Fly on over to two birds and join in!  I'm always looking for new friends, so feel free to Follow me and/or leave a comment.  Thank you!

  1. I like your inspired look a lot, Shayla - I think a woman looks great in a man's shirt (although I do agree about ironing)! Thanks so much for linking up to Visible Monday : >

  2. i feel the same way about chambray shirts (which is why i'm not wearing one today)! however, i do love it with your vest...it makes it shapely (and hides any wrinkles)! love the look!

  3. It's a great look! I wish my husband was closer to my size so I could steal his shirts - I think that would be a fun way to try this look actually!

  10. I LOVE that you took the shirt from your husband:-)) and you really made it work!
    Easy, casual look. That was really smart thinking with taking an extra day off after Thanksgiving. I'm sure you enjoyed your very long weekend!
