Inspired by I Do DeClaire: Red and Stripes
One of the tips I have for shopping your closet successfully is to search for inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram while knowing what it hanging in your closet. If your closet is stuffed to the gills and you cannot see what you have, you may not be able to find inspiration that you can actually copy or replicate. Remember though that it does not have to be an exact copy. As you will see in this post my outfit is very similar to Laura’s from I do DeClaire who was my inspiration but it is not an exact copy. The idea is there but with the colors but the cuts…

5 Outfits Inspired by Others: Shopping my Closet
A couple of weeks ago, I was inpired to put together an outfit inspired by one of the other bloggers who participated in the 7 day skirt challenge Gail from Is this Mutton put together. After writing about an outfit post inspired by Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style, I had a few comments about how people really enjoyed my inspired by posts. So here you have 5 outfits that were inspired by pictures I saved on Instagram that I knew I could copy or create a similar version by just shopping my closet. When I saw Leslie from Once upon a Time and Happily Everafter wear her Old Navy…

Inspired by 5 Different Bloggers for Outfits of the Day
Week 4 without shopping for any clothing! If you know me, that is an accomplishment! To help me in my endeavor (I want to keep at shopping my closet without adding anything new till the 1st of the year), I am taking inspiration from other bloggers to put together some new outfits using what I already have. This means that an outfit will not be an exact copy of another but will be inspired by it and replicated in a loose manner. So here are real outfits that I have worn these past couple of weeks. Inspired by Living on Cloud Nine I don’t think I had paired a vest…

Inspired by Rena: Olive and Stripes
This is my 2nd inspired by post in a month! Why do I enjoy writing these posts? First of all, they allow me to share bloggers that inspire me and that I have enjoyed following for the past few years and second, they inspire me to not shop but to shop my closet to recreate an outift. I always make notes (sometimes written most typically with a picture) of an outfit I might want to recreate with things I already possess in my closet. While it is fun to buy something new (as my plaid pants in Friday’s post), there is something really satisfying about digging through your closet to…

Inspired by… Fall Looks: October Sunday Showcase 2021 and Link Up
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase! Once again, Grace from Graceful Rags is joining me while Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood spends some time with family. She will be back for the November Showcase. This month’s theme is Fall Looks Inspired by! Today, I am showing how to transition a very summery piece of clothing (a white sundress) to a fall look and was inspired to put together this look by an outfit Jacqui from Mummabstylish shared in a post a couple of months ago. I love how my son is flexible about taking pictures. We can usually be done with blog pictures in 10 minutes or less so knowing that…

Inspired by Marsha in the Middle: Influenced to Add to my Closet
I discovered Marsha’s blog Marsha in the Middle just last month and in the first post I read, Scarves and necklaces and bracelets, oh my, she shared this cute pair of green light weight pants which I couldn’t resist! I have been trying to expand my pant collection to include a variety in cuts and colors and these pants just called my name. Marsha is a great writer and shares a variety of topics as she shares outfits so please be sure to drop by and visit her blog. The two things that struck me about these pants were the hem shape which is really flattering and the color: a…

Inspired by Pinterest and a Pair of Cowboy Boots
I was reading a post by Grace (Graceful Rags) and KellyAnn (This Blonde Shopping Bag) about wearing your clothes and getting inspiration from Pinterest and I decided that my cowboy boots needed a spin! I looked through my pins and picked one that I could recreate fairly easily by shopping my closet. I was actually tempted to buy a brown tank but that would have defeated the purpose of this exercise. I have been wearing all of the things in my closet and making sure to pull some things that I haven’t worn much in the last years. I love my cowboy boots, they were my most expensive clothing purchase…

Inspired by the Grey Brunette: Blue Jeans and Orange
I often take a picture of my computer screen when I read a blog post and see an outfit that I can recreate from my closet. The latest one was this outfit from Suzy. Suzy (The Grey Brunette) has been inspired me not only by her outfits lately but also with her photography. She bought a new camera, a remote and tripod and has been learning how to use it and be creative by taking courses and practicing. Suzy lives in Portugal and has a beautiful backyard and surrounding where she takes most of her pictures. She also has been having fun editing her pictures sometimes creating some really artful…

Inspired by Nancy’s Fashion Style: All Black Outfit
I do not wear monochromatic outfits enough and I often forget about neutrals in the summer. So after seeing this outfit of Nancy from Nancy’s Fashion Style, I decided it was time to write an Inspired by post. Nancy has a great fashion style and wears quite a few dresses and skirts. I wore this most of a day, for errands and doing things around the house. By afternoon, I did change as I knew I wanted to clean my very disgusting car and I would workout soon after. While Nancy accessorized with pink, I accessorized with yellow as I wanted to chose a pair of sandals similar in style…

Kimono Dress 3 Ways Inspired by This Blonde Shopping Bag
Last year, I saw Shelly from The Queen In Between share a full length kimono paired with a pair of denim shorts (here is the post) and I have been wanting to find one since then. Then recently, KellyAnn from This Blonde Shopping Bag shared this dress as a kimono and dress and I was sold! The dress promptly sold out in blue but the linked color (wine color) was a better addition for my closet anyways. So on the day I wore the outfit , I decided I could come up with a couple more ideas to style the kimono. Denim shorts and Red Top This is my favorite…
