How I Used An Advertisement For Fashion Inspiration

Back in November I did a post "How I Styled The Same Grey Corduroy Jacket For A Casual and Dressy Occasion".  Today I'm back showing another way to wear this jacket with a new top from CJBanks.

I saw a model on the CJBanks website wearing this same tank with this corduroy jacket and I thought "That looks good together" so I pinned it.  I didn't buy it right away, because I thought it was too expensive.  Then months later it went on clearance for around $13.00 and I scooped it up!

Here is the picture I found on CJBanks that inspired me.

I copied the inspiration almost identically choosing dark denim jeans as well.  Only, I wore a longer length pendant necklace because I didn't think the necklace the model had on was long enough.  Her necklace length looked awkward to me.

I couldn't see the models feet, so I was on my own for footwear.  I chose my grey booties because  I think they go great with the grey jacket.

The top is sleeveless which is so nice for fitting under jackets and cardigans.  But I can also see wearing it alone during the warmer months.

The top has a pretty pleated/ruffled neckline.

I chose this green stone necklace to coordinate with all the greens in the top.

Here is the top without the jacket.  I love the modern design and the pretty colors.

Because I bought the top on clearance and the jacket last fall, neither is no longer available.  :(

I wore this outfit to church in the morning, then lunch and shopping, and back to church again later that afternoon for a special event.  It was perfect, because it was dressy, yet comfortable for a long day of activity.

Here are two other ways I've styled this jacket in the past:

With black pants and a black/white sweater.

With a short skirt, turtleneck, and black OTK boots.

Have a Great Day!  Amy
