New Girl

So I've got to say one of my favorite shows on television at the moment is "New Girl"... Zooey Deschanel is quirky and hilarious, and I'm not ashamed to admit that more than one of my fashion choices this week has been inspired by her colorful wardrobe on the show.

I found this yellow jacket at a thrift store and combined it with a fluffy hat of my own creation and some quirky pink satin gloves for a recent photo shoot, and I'm kinda loving the nerdy, bright, sweet, totally out there feeling of dressing for oneself (and on a budget, too!) versus actually matching and looking trendy.

Because these days, being yourself is the new trend, anyway.
