PINTEREST STYLE ASSISTANT

I know I have spoken about this before but I absolutely love Pinterest for ideas for the home, garden, health and fitness and especially for style ideas. If you are like me you get tired of recycling the same outfits each week and you end up feeling like every Monday is blue dress day etc etc. Some people can just put together and outfit, normally something that you would not think of throwing on together, and make it work, I am not one of these people. However where I do have a gift is seeing something on Pinterest and being able to recreate that look.

An important key to remember, and my daughter can confirm this after trying on 60 white tops to find an exact match, is you might not necessary find the exact top etc that you see in the picture you need to be flexible and work with the concept.  What I love about using media like Pinterest and Instagram is that it helps you think outside the box colours and items of clothing that you might not always put together suddenly seem to gel. Also items of clothing that have been banished to the back of the closet suddenly find new life. If you have a pair of pants for instance that you are not sure how to style what top or shoe is going to go best trying searching using the description of the pants.

Don't forget the wonderful thing about Pinterest is as you are browsing and come across awesome outfits you can pin them to your board for later inspiration. So on those days where you stare at your closet and think I have nothing to wear and feel like climbing back into bed take a look at your board with all those wonderful go to outfits you have pinned. I have a number of boards I pin to so head on over to Pinterest and follow me.

Below are two outfits that I recreated using Pinterest inspiration:

The bottom right is the image from Pinterest, this pic made me see that a button up blouse that I normally would not pear with a maxi skirt would work and not look slouchy, the belt helps keep it from being to much fabric.
