inspiration day: memorial

happy memorial day! i hope you are all having an extra fabulous long weekend. i realize that some people may not link up today because of the holiday, but feel free to join in later in the week! in the meantime, make a cocktail, fire up the grill, and let's all celebrate those who have made our country what it is today.

today's inspiration is perfect for this odd minnesota weather. it can't seem to make up its mind. it's sunny and warm, then it rains and it's cool. however, we have been able to sit on the patio and watch the kids play on the swing set, and then sit on the patio (with a fire going), and share some great laughs with friends later in the evening. so i am not complaining. i do love that we can wear sundresses, and just carry around a cute coat just in case. so, without further adieu, here is today's inspiration.

 the beautiful emma stone. have you guys seen easy a? it's super cute...i especially love stanley tucci and patricia clarkson as the parents. i want to be cool like them! anyways, this outfit is super cute and easy (pun intended) and versatile enough to wear anywhere.
