Building an entire outfit around a single item that has caught my eye.
Sometimes the inspiring items are not even fashion related...
- Images in magazines, and life.
- Interiors.
- Colours in nature.
- Even architecture!
Inspiration can come in so many forms, can't it?
Keeping an open mind is always a good idea.
Quite often a pair of shoes will turn my head and get my creative juices flowing.
Call me shallow if you like but I love shoes and often work from the bottom of an outfit up.
But, today a funky necklace is my source of inspiration.
I've had my beady eye on it for a while but, as a seasoned deal-finder, it was more expensive than I wanted.
I suspected it could make its way into the sale... luckily it did.
(Phew!)
I bided my time and voila!
Unfortunately, this necklace is now sold out, but you can see similar space-inspired pieces HERE.
{BTW... I'm not sponsored or affiliated with the brand that makes this necklace. I just love Tatty Devine's designs and have done for years.}
With my space inspired necklace, I wanted to keep things light and spring-like but with that spaced-out futuristic feel.
What better colours than grey and blue?
Just industrial enough.
Super-soft textures were what I needed and these cashmere culottes (plus a silk top) fitted the bill.
Simple chunky sandals finished things off nicely!
Such an easy look to pull together.
Comfortable and easy-going but I still feel 'dressed' and ready for anything.
Do you ever build an entire outfit around an accessory such as a necklace, scarf or bag?
What about inspiration from other sources?
I'd love to hear what's been turning your head this week!
