Happy Wednesday!
I am feeling quite chipper this am. I am the proud owner of a new laptop, which is bigger, brighter, bolder. It is the Bionic Woman of laptops in my estimation - very shiny and bright and with superhuman capabilities. Whether these extra capabilities impact the quality of these posts or my writing, well, I leave that to others to judge!
And for all of my comrades in the ethernet: Happy May Day! Workers of the World Unite! For the rest of us, Happy Spring! Find yourself a MayPole and have at it!
When I was young, we used to gather up whatever flowers we could find on May 1st and leave them in little baskets on the doors of houses and ring the doorbell and run away. How sweet was that?
Okay - a confession - I am loving pinterest. I am not good at polyvore yet - I may get there, but I don't buy enough to make it easy for me. But pinterest allows me to find and save images of outfits that I do like and has proven to be a source of great inspiration to me as I refine my style.
For instance, I recently pinned this image to my "Styles I Love" board:

Put them together, and what do you have? Why you have me, this morning!

The jeans are one size too large for an even slouchier fit. This was a comfy outfit and completely inspired by the looks above. When I went out this am, I paired it with my navy blazer/coat. Tres jolie!
What I have discovered is that pinterest is helping me narrow down the styles that I love and is giving me inspiration as to how to recreate them at home. I can look through a whole page of photos and only want to pin one or two at max. You start to recognize your style. When I recreate the outfit, I feel great as it is the look I want to project.
My favourite pinterest looks right now:

and because I will always love me some colour:
My outfit will be a slight variation of this - my pink linen blouse and my j crew Gauguin orange linen trousers from a couple of years ago.
So how about you - where are you getting your style inspiration these days - pinterest, polyvore, other bloggers, your own innate sense of style? Do tell!
And unlike Good Queen Beatrix, I do not plan to abdicate for awhile! Stay safe out there!
