Back again, with another collection of interiors and outfits. This is my second time styling outfits based off of some of my favorite interiors. I think anytime I am in an outfit rut, I typically go and look at other outfits I’ve saved or look at brands that inspire me. This usually does the trick.
However, what I am realizing is, my brain is so satisfied by the interior to outfit styling crossover. I think in someways it relieves the pressure I put on myself. Sometimes, I think being inspired by an outfit someone is wearing, can make me take things a bit too literal.
Don’t get me wrong, I still absolutely love taking inspiration from the way others dress themselves or the way the runways look. I just think using an interior as inspiration gets my creative juices flowing in a different way.
I feel like I can take a more objective look at all the colors, textures, lines, structures, lighting…all of it and make it my own. I of course am still influenced and inspired by the current styles, trends, etc. but this approach feels very organic to me. I’m not sure if that makes sense but I just have so much fun creating these looks based off of these gorgeous spaces.
Perhaps, I don’t need to intellectualize it or explain it.
I just simply love things that can inspire the way I dress or the way I view the world. I hope in some ways this inspires others to look at the world with more detail and with a curiosity of how all these things connect to each other.
I also just recently moved into a new place, currently an empty space, with good bones, waiting to be designed and filled with things I love. So, I have been spending even more time looking at interiors. I will be sure to do some posts on what I plan to do in my space but I am someone who has to really get to know my space. I like to take my time filling it. So, it may be a minute. In the meantime, I will share with you interiors that I love and outfits that speak to them.
Enjoy!
What you said about how being inspired by a particular outfit can cause you to be too literal really resonates with me. Sometimes I’ll look at a great outfit and get sucked into thinking I need to mimic some element exactly, but I’ll miss the spirit of the look.
In love with this series! Feels so good to my brain
