Fashion inspiration

When trying to decide the things I like I often look for inspiration from other people. I would hate to think I was 'copying' anyones individual look but can't deny that in the past I have taken inspiration from others. I remember one Saturday afternoon sitting in town and a girl walked past wearing a super cute outfit (funky t shirt, little skirt, tights and cute pumps); at the time I would never have thought of putting the items together but I remember feeling so inspired that I dashed straight to the shops to create my own version.

Whilst trying to put together my own personal style I have come across a number of celebrities whose style I like/admire:

 


I'm not the biggest fan of Fearne Cotton, however, I do like her style. Not all of her outfits are for 'me' but what I do like is her individuality (without being too out there!); it also gives me confidence that being a particular age doesn't mean you have to dress a particular way.



I love ol' skool Kate Nash: cute little dresses and amazing hair. However, I do worry that the whole 'vintage look' is just a little bit too much effort than I am willing to put in; I also worry that it can be a little be contrived at times. I do love a cute little dress though!



So cute and feminine with a little twist of quirkiness but can anyone really aspire to look as good as Zooey? Such a cutie!

 Maybe because I'm a geek at heart but the whole 'preppy' thing is really appealing to me. I don't love everything about this but this kind of encompasses what I mean: Master Class

Or maybe some of the items in the new Autumn/Winter Primark collection says it more eloquently:

 

I'm feeling inspired! I think the next step is to make a list of key items; I'm not going to do anything crazy like have a major wardrobe revamp but it might help give me inspiration of how to style what I have whilst also giving me guidance as to what I should be looking for when I hit the shops!
