I'm not much for following celebrities, the only magazine I get on subscription is Frankie and any that I buy are usually crafty or sometimes if I'm in the airport I will get Oyster or something fashiony.
So then I started thinking about characters that I might like to emulate.
Jess from New Girl?
Joan from Sherlock?
Penny from The Big Bang Theory?
Lemon from Hart of Dixie?
But then I realised...
Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds. Kirsten Vangsness is all sorts of awesome.
I've had people say that I do remind them of her, and I would have loved to have gone all out with the heals and big hair but I was going to work and I was running late already. I did want to put clip-in coloured hair extensions but I forgot to.
Glasses - check!
Lipstick - check!
Funky earrings - check!
Chunky necklace - forgot!
Bright floral dress - check!
Funky heals - not safe for work so I went with jellies!
It brought some colour to work - and the kids loved it.
It was World Teachers' Day yesterday. We were spoiled by our lovely friends with decorations and a huge lunch.

I love Kirsten Vangsness! Especially on Criminal Minds, Garcia is a fab character. Your jellies are super cute, where did you get them?
ReplyDeleteI have to agree! I didn't really do her justice but oh well :) I got these one from Rubi - but I've got others from the Jelly Beans store and I have a few coming from Princess Polly.
DeleteYES YES YES YES YES! Guh! I kinda wish I had thought of this! You look amazing, very well done! Though I also like the idea of Lemon from HoD!
ReplyDeleteI had spent two weeks thinking about this theme and it wasn't until we had a night of catch up TV mid week and watched Criminal Mind that I had the aha moment. I kind of now want to do all the other characters.
DeletePerfect celbrity copycat for you! I can totally see the resmblence! I love your glasses! I need me some black jellies for next years cooler months I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm not sure if I look like her but there is some overlap in style! I live in such a hot place and to be honest I don't find jellies any hotter then other shoes - I plan to rock them year round.
DeleteI definitely think Garcia's character would approve. She may need more over the top accessories but sometimes its just not practical unless your a genius hacker behind the desk for the FBI. I think you did really well and I do see some resemblance. You're gorgeous chick!
ReplyDeleteI know I would love to turn up to work in half of what she does - I don't anyone would take me seriously though! Thank you for the complement.
Deletelove the dress, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you - It's a Leona Edmiston.
