For this week's look I was inspired by a very talented man and his creations. If you have not had a chance to visit the wonder that is themertailor.com, please do!! Eric Ducharme is an incredibly talented man who creates mermaid tails for those of us who weren't born with one, and lucky for me, my friend Robbie has promised to get me one for my birthday!! Ahhhh!!! (Unless she already has it and is just waiting to surprise me!!) ;-) (I'm pretty sure she's going to kill me now.)
After going through his gallery of amazing photos a million times, I've learned that mermaids come in every color combination you can imagine. And while it was difficult to pick which colors I wanted to use for this look, I ended up going with these. Check it out!
