Copying Jessica Quirk from What I Wore:

I had planned this one for later in the week because it's kind of similar to the one I did yesterday:

But when MaryK posted her WIW today in the same green skirt, I jumped at the chance to be MaryK's twin for the day! Waving at my copycat twin! Big fun! (as she likes to say)

Random observations:
1. I reversed the colors on the polka dot blouse. I didn't have a polka dot umbrella but I used my polka dot purse and new polka dot bracelet, and even my shoes have dots on them. The more dots the better! And besides piling on the dots, I love matching details...like the snakeskin and cream in the purse echoing the fish scales and cream of the shoes, and the white dots on black bracelet matching the blouse. I guess you could say I'm HyperMatchy ALGO! As MaryK once told me, my style is "Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!"
2. It turns out all of my challenge posts this week are going to be from Jessica's blog. So it looks like I'm going to be wearing sunglasses all week! Does she ever take them off?
3. I am so not a blazer girl--this black blazer is from the 90's from my Ann Taylor interview suit when I interviewed for med school/internship/residency. Is this 20 year old blazer still OK to wear or is it dated? Between the non-maternity and 20-year old clothes, I'm really wringing every outfit I can from my closet, despite the bump!
4. Yes, I'm wearing the same shoes as yesterday, but so is Jessica!
5. Matchy matchy me LOVES this copycat challenge! Big fun, thanks MaryK! I guess I'm kind of a perfectionist too--I try to copy every detail exactly as much as possible, pose, smile, etc. I didn't realize her sleeves were not scrunched and debated trying to take another pic with unscrunched sleeves, but then realized you wouldn't be able to see my new bracelet so I left the sleeves scrunched.
Thanks for looking and commenting!
