Love the look.

So here are some styles that caught my eye, for one thing or another, and I thought I would share this inspiration with you all! I always like to disect an outfit and take a certain "look" or "piece" from it and add it to my own style. Check these out and see if you take anything from them too!


OK, first of all, LOVE the boots! I also really like the contrast in colors and, as I posted before, brown on black is really in right now. And, if I don't say so myself....I am diggin' it!




Always love the t-shirt and jeans, and I also like the all black with some stand-out jewelry. Great casual look.








So, being that it is fall and the weather is cooler in most places right now, I would probably replace the sandals with some closed toed or even peek-a-boo toed heels,or some cute ankle or knee high boots. Really like the scarf with the outfit too and, again, can't go wrong with a scarf for some extra style.



Love the black tights, ankle strap heel, and.....everything. Such an easy look to get, and can wear this anywhere.

Work with what you got.

While we would all love to go on weekly (even monthly!) shopping sprees and constantly have new outfits and new looks, the reality of settling for what we have in our closet right now is true to many of us. However, there are many pieces sitting in those closets, and jewelry boxes, that can be paired with other pieces you have hanging around to create some "new" looks and outfits for you. Here are some pics I found to aid in inspiring you to get creative with what you currently have in your closet.





Jackets are great with jeans right now, and any cute top you might have when worn under your jacket or vest looks great. It doesn't have to be a fur vest but, as I read on the blog of BR Magazine, you can always go to a thrift store or vintage store and look for some type of fur vest or scarf there...throwing on a scarf will insantly add to your look as well.







These are all pretty standard pieces that most of us can find in our wardrobe. Simply roll those jeans up a little, pull out that over sized sweater, or go buy an inexpensive pair of leggins'...they can be paired with so much and they always look great with many different styles of boots too.






Remember that adding a bold necklace to a simple tank or tee or turtle neck, will always give some extra style to the outfit.





Pull out one of those dresses from last season...or longer...and throw on some kickin' boots with a great necklace and those hot glasses, and no one will guess that the entire outfit is not something recently purchased. The short trench coats are great and go with just about everything. Definitely worth investing in one....works season after season and never dissapoints!
