Inspiration Collection Number 1

Consequence to a lack of inspiration on the street, I decided that I'm gonna just post some pictures today that I've collected over time that I'm particularly influenced by....

This picture is one of my all-time favorites. I'm craaazy about triangles for one thing,
not to mention biased towards short spiky hair.....

.... and late 80s fashion in general



I'm a big proponent of focusing on textures, textiles, and shapes over colors, and all those aspects are pulled off so well in this outfit.
(Strong shoulders yet feminine but not in a look-at-me-I'm-a-feminist sort of way)
The lace/leather/silver mash-up dresses it up and down at the same time.
It's always so impressive when one look can be dressy and casual at the same time.
I am awfully curious what the shoe situation was in this shoot....


Simplicity when it comes to accessories is big, and I think this chick did it just right. If she were to have added a necklace it would have been too over-the-top but it's right on how it is. I think the future of fashion is in part tailoring (which is just lovely with this dress) and tastefully mixing pieces from different eras, which she totally pulls of with the earrings/haircut/shoes combo.


(Snatched from Vogue)
Bleached hair + Tutu collar + Slim fitting everywhere else =
the first time I've seen Lady Gaga not go over the top


That's all for today.
