Inspiration: SHopbop
Today's post is the perfect example of why I use inspiration photos to come up with outfit ideas! This is just not a concept I would've come up with on my own. I had this blue ruffle shirt in a different style category in my head, but it turns out that getting outside that safe zone is where the magic really happens. (This is my 4th look with this top and quite possibly my favorite so far!) The feminine ruffle paired with more masculine cargo pockets creates a great balance, and I'm really digging the color combo. Have you ever re-created an outfit you liked from Pinterest or a catalog?
