There are several ways you can use an inspiration photo. For example, here’s today’s Inspiration Monday picture from Two Birds:
You could choose to go with the shape of or the items in the outfit. A dress with a longer coat or cardigan and a scarf. You could choose to go with with the patterns and mix several small patterns and include some plaid or something with a bird pattern. Or you could do what I did and go with the colors of the outfit. A brownish burgundy faux leather skirt mirrors the color of Leona’s dress. A gray scarf echoes her adorable printed scarf. And an oatmeal colored cardigan takes the place of her tan trench coat.
All of this to say that when you see a celebrity photo and think, “I wish I had her wardrobe!” you might be able to get closer than you think with items you already own.

Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
Ever since I bought this tie-neck top I have been wanting to pair it with these pants. 
Today I’m going to share with you one of my favorite ways to this lace dress that I’ve come up with yet.
I love how long that cardigan is! it may even be long enough for my freakishly long torso
Boyfriend cardigans at Target! Check them out!
Also, I went into Topshop yesterday and tried on some blazers. I think they would be long enough on you!
Kelsey prefers “Tarjay.”
Nice post! I love the subdued colors that you took from the inspiration look — very winter chic
Thanks! I’ve noticed I’m wearing a lot of neutral colors right now. Must be the weather!
so, so true! i love your take. that scarf looks so cozy!!
Definitely one of my favorite scarves, for sure. And perfect for this look!
So cute! I am loving the color of that skirt!
It’s almost more of a brown than a burgundy but it really goes with just about anything.
Love love love the scarf with the necklace underneath! Usually I do either the scarf or the necklace, but never considered doing both at the same time. Where do you find all these inspiration looks, btw?!?!?
I rarely do both at the same time, too. I normally stick with one but I thought I might be taking the scarf off later (silly me) and didn’t want to look too blah.
My Monday inspiration photos come from the Two Birds blog. Otherwise I’m all about Pinterest!
Ah, that’s why your inspiration looks always work so well without them being a literal translation of the look. (I’m so going to have to try your version of this look, I have really similar items in my closet and I love the camel with the brown, it’s such a sophisticated style palette.)
Her bird scarf reminds me of your zebra scarf. You could totally recreate this outfit in your own way!
i love how you were inspired by the colors
they are a great mix
that skirt looks fabulous

Thanks!
I like the way you interpreted it. I am not a fan of the longer coat over something shorter… unless it’s open like hers is. I think it makes you look like a creepster. Ha ha! What do you think?
I do wonder about wearing a longer coat buttoned up so you can’t see the person’s skirt or shorts or dress. Makes you wonder if they really have something on underneath there or not!
