Here are some lovely outfits (and links below!) from various fashion bloggers to brighten up your Sunday afternoon!

I love Catherine's black-and-white ensemble - it really holds your interest even though black and white is traditionally a very simple combination...

Not Dressed as Lamb

The flowers along the neckline of this dress are actually vintage brooches! I think it's a charming idea that I'd love to try in the summer...

The Hidden Seed

The touches of mint green in this otherwise all-gray outfit really bring it to life...

Dash Dot Dotty

Electric blue and bright yellow! Need I say more?

The Drawing Mannequin

And here are some fun links (a few are fashion-related, a few aren't)...

This is one stylish lady! I love her style tips.

I think my hair is finally long enough to try fun styles like this.

I want everything from this collection (from last year), and I want to live in a world where it would be acceptable to wear those things every day.

I find it amusing and somewhat silly that when I see a photograph of a charming place like this, the first thing I think is, "I wish I could take outfit photos there."

The most impressive stop-motion video I've ever seen. (And a cute song as well!)

A gorgeous Flickr set.

Here are some fun fashion-related links to brighten up your Saturday! Also, have you checked out the blogger pictured below? Her name is Courtney and she has a fairly new blog called A Bevy Of, and her outfits are crazy awesome. I thought you guys might like a new blogger to check out - she's pretty much the queen of pattern mixing, and she creates some very inspiring looks!

I want to try every single one of these DIY shoe transformations!

Helpful tips for thrifting blazers.

How to stop buying clothes you never wear. (Make sure to read the comments - they're just as insightful as the article!)

Maybe it's masochistic of me, but I do enjoy it when people make fun of fashion bloggers.

Such a wonderfully odd photo.

Here are some ladies whose style I'm loving this week! Apparently, even though temperatures have been hoving near freezing in Portland, I'm really loving outfits with bare legs...

And here are a few other fun fashion-related links from around the web...

Fun and unique ways to wear tights!

A great discussion about the use of "courtesy of" items in fashion blogging.

I really like the way Keiko views fashion.

A weird but cool use of a scarf.

I don't normally like street style photography, but these are some awesome outfits.

When I read this, I laughed so hard I cried.

Smart, insightful words about the truth of beauty.
