Inspired by Pinterest - What I Wore

Welcome back to another weekly fashion post. Each Wednesday, I share a real outfit that I am currently wearing. I also try and share some insight into the outfit, as well as ideas and inspiration for incorporating the look into your own daily wardrobe. This week, we're talking about inspiration itself and where I find it.

Sometimes, I see a great outfit on Pinterest and it grabs me. Typically I already own at least one piece from the pictured outfit, in this case it was the ivory vest.





If I wanted to make this outfit my own, I need to find a navy blue long-sleeve t-shirt. Not really an easy feat, but  I did find one at Ann Taylor to do the trick. I also chose to skip the gold jewelry and leopard belt. I'm more of a silver jewelry fan and I don't wear a lot of belts these days. But I think I captured the feel of the original outfit.

I love navy blue, but don't buy a lot of it, because I find it difficult to incorporate with shoes and other pieces. I guess you can't really go wrong with brown or a neutral shade. But for some reason, I get nervous about having things to "go with" navy. This would look cute with a pair of tall tan boots or also a pair of grey suede booties.

Outfit inspiration can come from anywhere: a store display, your best girlfriend, the stylish woman in the airports, or even Pinterest. The key is making a look you see your own.
