I have a little confession to make about today's outfit...Today's outfit was shamelessly copied from a mannequin I saw a couple of months ago in Forever XXI! jajaja. I really loooove the way Forever XXI dresses their mannequins most of the time and I find that it's a great source of inspiration.

Many times when I look at mannequins, I realize that I have similar items to those displayed and could make an almost identical outfit... and that is exactly what I did today!! The mannequin did however have a gray skirt (which I don't own) so I accommodated by layering a pink top over my gray dress so that it would look like a skirt (ingenious huh?!). I really like how chic it turned out, but I guess I can't really receive the credit for that... jejeje :)

Do you ever imitate or get inspiration from mannequins in stores?

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this gray dress:
