Make Me a Bird. So I Can Fly Far.

I really like birds. I mean I have two bird tattoos, and a handful of bird-themed blog posts (Exhibit A, B, C, and D for starters!), so it's pretty obvious. I love a good bird print, so when I saw this blouse at Old Navy a couple of months ago, I snapped it up, at full price (which is unheard of for me!!). I wore it once, but I hated the final result, so I chose not to blog it.



However, this time around I was very pleased with the final results! The only thing that would make it better would be Megan giving me her shoes (just saying!). I don't know what it is about birds that I find so appealing. I know they are very trendy right now, but I've been fascinated for years.




In college I tried to convince Curtis to buy me a parrot, and keep it at his place since I lived in a dorm with a very strict no pet policy. He refused. In elementary school, my local Wal-Mart had a parrot named Rico in the pet department. He wasn't for sale. He just stayed there in this ginormous cage, flapping around and talking to you. Awesomeness.

This bird blouse is super cute! I saw this top on another blogger (at the moment, I can't remember who) and I thought it was adorable...take an animal and turn it into a print and I will love it!

I also have that top and I also bought it at full price. Full price at Old Navy? Crazy! Hmmm...it seems as though I have quite a few of the same pieces as you. I've been wearing that shirt constantly. It's a perfect dressy casual shirt.

I love that blouse (of course) and it would look really cute with the UO pumps! Though, I like it with these white wedges too.

What can we say, we have great taste!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Oh, if you remember which blogger, let me know!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Thanks Keesha!

Thank you Marie! I love this yellow color for spring and summer!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Thank you!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Yeah. :)I forgot to take it off for the photos. You'll love Thursday's blog, different band-aid, same color. Awful blister!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

I knew we were friends for a reason!

Yellow is a great color on you! Love the shirt,as you saw I have it in navy. Now I'm thinking I may have to wear mine again soon...

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

You were definitely part of the inspiration. I love the blouse, but it has to be pair with a pencil skirt or skinnies otherwise it's too boxy I think!

This is the perfect outfit to celebrate spring! Where oh where did you get your shoes? Nice band aid too. I'm partial to Hello Kitty and Winnie the Pooh though. A cheery band aid makes it all better, no? :)

Debbie Ballew said...

Love your style...the yellow is great...the band-aid really pops, too!

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Well I'm not against stylish band-aids either! ;)

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Geez, I got these shoes at Target last year, and even though they are totally a size too big, they are one of the best purchases I've ever made! And thanks for the band-aid compliment! I had a terrible open blister! Love how prominent it is in every picture!

Marissa said...

Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...

Marissa said...
