Pinterest Told SHANNA To!

I have lots of goodness for you guys today.
So, "you're welcome" in advance.  :)
First of all, don't forget to enter the necklace giveaway that ends tomorrow.
Second, don't miss my next AWESOME giveaway announcement that I tease at the end.
Third, and most importantly, meet Shanna from Because Shanna Said So!
I mean. How cute is she?

You guys might think I'm crazy, but I think she looks like Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched!
Do you see it?

Man I LOVED that show.  I thought "Samantha" was absolutely beautiful (I thought her twin sister "Serena" was hilarious), and I seriously used to dream about
twitching my nose to make things happen.  :)
Is it weird that I liked this show so much?  Please tell me there are others of you out there.
And Shay...before you make some sort of smart remark about how YOU weren't born when this was on the air....you can just keep your mouth shut.
Feels good to have finally beaten you to an age joke. :)

Anyway...I stumbled upon Shanna's blog several months ago, and I really liked what I saw.
I started leaving comments on her blog, and then she started doing the same on mine.
And lo and behold, we became bloggy friends!
She is stylish and budget conscious, which I LOVE, and I know you do too!
She's also started a linky party that has grown very quickly!!!
You can link up with her on Wednesday for Random Wednesday!

 Here are a couple of my favorite looks of hers:
polka dots and plaid HERE / leggings and leopard HERE

And if you would like to see a collage of some of her best looks from 2012,

Do it.  Now.  ;)

So...without further ado....
here's Shanna!

Well hello there, readers of Pinterest Told Me To. I am Shanna from Because Shanna Said So. I'm a born and bred Texan and proud to be living in the Austin area. I blog about affordable fashion (a.k.a. my personal outfits), beauty obsessions and random life happenings. I try not to take myself too seriously and from time to time, have no problem making fun of myself. I just started my personal styling business. Don't live in the Austin? Well, that's okay. I can help you on a virtual level wherever you reside. Go ahead and take a peek.

I was so pumped when Sheaffer asked me to come over and spend the day with you guys. She is a genius for coming up with a blog that revolves around Pinterest. I mean, why didn't I think of that?

And ya wanna know something crazy? Sheaffer went to high school with two of my very best friends and works with my sorority sister. Talk about small world. I guess birds of a feather flock together (wink wink).

Okay, enough of my rambling. I know what you came to see today; an outfit inspiration from none other than...Pinterest...duh.

It's nothing fancy schmancy, but it is 100% my style. I am sucker when it comes to pattern mixing. And I am also a sucker for anything floral and stripes. Plus, I pretty much live in skinny jeans and riding boots during the fall and winter months. So when I saw this one pop up on my feed, I knew it was one I was gonna recreate myself with things I already owned.

And, viola...here is my take on this fabu-losa look.

Top: Kohl's (option) (option)

Scarf: Forever 21 (option)

Jeans: New York & Co. (option)

Boots: MIA (option)

Bag: Aldo (option)

Jewelry & Glasses: Forever 21

Thanks again, Sheaffer, for inviting me over today and inspiring us all to actually put our pins to good use!

I hope each of you stop by and see me sometime! 

I love making new friends and discovering new blogs!

Okay, so don't you just love her?

Take pics of your outfit.

Then, the first of every month, we will have a linky party for you to link up to an outfit.
Easy Peasy! 

 (If you're a reader of Pinterest Told Me To, the concept should be a bit familiar. Ha!)
I mean, HELLO?
It's what I do everyday!  :)

The linky party will appear on my blog, Shay's blog, and Mel's blog.

Doesn't matter who you link to, it will show up on all of them!
