Inpired by Jodie and Rena: Summer Looks
One of the ways that helps me be content with my closet is to create outfits that are inspired by others whether they are bloggers I read or a look I have come accross on Pinterest or Instagram. Today’s post is a short one with 2 such inspired looks.
Inspired by Jodie
Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style is my all time favorite blogger. She is amazingly creative, she is a lover of shopping her closet, small boutiques and second hand shopping and she is as sweet in person as on Instagram. I hope to plan a vacation in Arizona again when I can get a good deal for our family of 6 because 10 minutes at the airport was not enough and Arizona is really a cool state!
As soon as I saw this picture with her wide leg pants with buttons, I wanted to wear mine with a striped top too! The button on my XCVI pants are on the side (I found them on Ebay) and remind me of Jodie’s pants. Of course, I have several striped tops in my closet so I chose one I hadn’t worn in a while. I picked up the pink from her bracelet and tee trim with my earrings. Similar pose but not exact and my background is not as pretty that Arizona landscape but you get the gist of what I was trying to do!
Inspired by Rena
Sometimes an outfit inspired by someone is more of a copy and sometimes you use the general idea of the outfit to create your own. My friend gave me 2 pairs of wide leg pants this summer and the black cropped pair reminded me of Rena’s (Fine Whatever Blog). I loosely created my outfit from hers.
A striped popover, a statement necklace, gladiator sandals and my black purse are inspired by her pieces. I found a wall in our neighborhood for my picture and voila!

Both of these inspired-by looks turned out great! I’m digging the sailor vibes from the stripes + pants with buttons. Looking to other bloggers for inspiration for a different silhouette like the wide leg pants is a terrific idea.
mimifce
Yes, very true about sailor’s vibes especially with the buttons.
Michelle

It’s one of the wonderful things about being a style blogger, isn’t it, Mireille?! I love how you styled these two outfits. I haven’t done any ‘style steals’ for a while…I think you may well have just inspired me to do exactly that!
Have a fabulous weekend, my friend.
