Whenever I come across an outfit that strikes out or speaks to me personally, I save those images from magazines and websites for inspirations. As I am sure many do?
A couple of times bloggers inspire me, like here and here, and other times celebrities do. However, most times it is from random places which are not even meant to be fashionable like a billboard or an advertisement for household products, etc. I thought it would be interesting to actually show you all where I got the inspiration from.
This is from the Ann Taylor Loft's SS11 Collection Print Ad.
I do not own a nude blouse or a big-floral-print skirt, however I did find a nude-pleated skirt and a big-floral-print blouse in my closet. I decided to reverse it! I think it still works! What do you think?

ReplyDeleteI do the same.. I save a lot of images when I like them and try to put together my putfits based on them a lot of times :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your India trip to the fullest!

I do like it! More so that you took the inspiration from the photo and put ur own twist on it too :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice for a nice summers day :)
Your reversal looks loads better than the model, the muted shades are a big change for you but look so pretty. x
ReplyDeleteI love this take on the outfit. Love how uve reversed it :D
ReplyDeleteLove the floral top. And yes it totally works.
ReplyDeleteloved the outfit..
ReplyDeleteYou made it different than the original one.
wat coincidence!! my latest post is on one of my fashion inspiration moments!!!
ReplyDeletelike the way you have reversed the pattern.... :))....looks good!!
Love this look and the reversed style works just as well. Love the floral blouse!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! Isn't it funny how inspiration comes from the most random places? Also, do I spy an ankle tattoo? Am I allowed to be nosy and ask what it is (because I just did-haha) Hope you're having a nice morning, Tanvi! xoxox
ReplyDeletelooking gorgeous as usual Tanvi.
ReplyDeleteNot only does it totally work, you're also making a good point about how inspiration works... It sets one's own creative thinking in motion.
ReplyDeletegorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAm in love with the skirt! It looks so pretty and delicate!
ReplyDeleteYup, it works! even I am in a 'floral' mood these days, so this top is so soothing to my eyes.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading that other bloggers do this, I've started collecting pictures of outfits I admire and put them in an inspiration file. We can always use good ideas.

ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice look on you Tanvii. I am very into the pleated skirts right now and the color of this one is so romantic and pretty.
ReplyDeletePS: your hair looks amazing! I always try to do a chic pony like this with some height in the front but it never works for me.

Agreed, bloggers and celebs are one thing but ads for the stores are key too. Loving Lela Rose for Ann Taylor these days...The Loft is def stepping it up!
ReplyDeletelove this outfit so much esp the blouse. So girlie.

btw, i really like the way you`ve done ur hair here. I know its all the rage now but it gives u such an edgy look(specially in the first pic, with the print ad) to be contrasted with the softness of the outfit :)
ReplyDeleteIt did work and was looking great on you... :)
ReplyDeleteI like your version of this look a lot...lovely shirt, especially!
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretation! So lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHi there!! Thank you for commenting on my "Corset Top" post. I hadn't finished it, but I included commentary on it if you want to go back and have a read...only because I wrote a thank you note to all of my readers (that means YOU!). xoxo
ReplyDeleteI do like the skirt. The whole outfit is better than the Ann Taylor one! I want a skirt like that....would look great at work or on a night out. Lovely color!
