Walking on Sunshine

Yesterday, I posted about my new yellow Converse sneakers. While it's a bit too chilly to wear shorts now, I can't wait to break them out with a pair of easy cutoffs and a breezy white tunic. A statement necklace adds a pop of color (and the yellow flower subtly draws together the outfit).

Outfit Inspiration: Whimsical Wheels

When I came across this image, I knew the previous Outfit Inspiration post would become a running feature. Sometimes I draw inspiration from entire outfits. Sometimes, like today's image, a small segment captures my attention and immediately results in a "Could I recreate that?" internal dialogue.

I immediately focus on the soft, feminine color palette of this image. While I love color, sometimes a neutral rich outfit is more attention grabbing. The combination of the sweet flats and dainty, scalloped edge skirt is simply charming. While I wouldn't normally consider a bicycle to be an accessory (well, except for this one), here it perfectly rounds out the other elements of the outfit.

Outfit Inspiration: Florals and Belts

Sometimes I draw inspiration from entire outfits. And sometimes it's just a little segment that captures my attention and immediately results in a "Could I recreate that?" internal dialogue.

I'm not much of a belt person, unfortunately. I think they look amazing on others, and I'm always trying to tie them around outfits, only to pull them off after my unsuccessful attempts to style them. I always find the belt is either too large and won't stay around my waist, and when I try to move it to my hips it just draws unflattering attention to the area. Downfall of being slightly pear shaped I suppose. I do like how the blouse is loosely tucked in here. I think it prevents the belt from drawing too much attention, which might be just the solution. I also love the rolled sleeves. I often roll the sleeves on plaid and striped button downs, but perhaps because of this floral print, this particular iteration is very fresh.

Let the experiments begin :)
