Outfit Inspiration and Other Weekend Reading

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

5 Great resources to inspire your next outfit selection from your hair  to personality to putting it all together

This weekend my theme is Outfit Inspiration so I’m sharing a few of  my outfits this past couple of weeks.  It’s been very cold in my office as I have no heating (broken down, waiting on a part) and it’s mid-winter here so I’m all layered up.

Black and White Spot outfit

My wardrobe is still full of black from when it was my best neutral and I had dark hair.  Not about to throw it all out, but I like to wear lighter colours near my face so love this spotted top from Mon Amore Paris that blends the black and white together.  I like the way the top blends the black and white so creates a medium contrast, which suits my value contrast.

Winter layering with leggings

Day in front of the computer writing blog posts.  Comfortable leggings and my favorite  boots by Django and Juliette.  I think I have 2 layers of Uniqlo heat tech tops plus 2 layers of wool on as I try to stay warm!  I bought the cardigan from Marshalls in San Francisco some years ago and it has become quite a favorite of mine in winter.

Floral skirt and metalicus jacket

Out on a personal shopping trip in this outfit.  Jacket is from Metalicus and skirt from Forever New (which I’ve styled a number of ways for summer too)  with boots from Fred Smith (comfy wedges good for walking around the mall).

Damson suit

Wore this outfit to speak at the Australian Association of Professional Organisers 2015 Conference.  The suit used to be a pant suit, but I don’t wear pants often (and weight fluctuations matter so much more with pants than skirts) so I had Alfia Galimova redesign the pants into a skirt.  Wearing it with a Uniqlo heat tech top and boots from Clarks and some leopard fishnet tights .
