This is my favorite way of wearing my white sleeveless blazer/vest so far. It's much closer to the outfits I pinned when I was inspired to purchase this piece. I've tried to style it for work before and haven't been quite happy with it. However, it seems to be the perfect piece to add a little edge to a casual outfit.

I'm using Bridgette Raes for inspiration again. I'm not sure this worked out as well as I'd hoped, but I was at least dressed. I might try this again with a different green blouse, but I do like the combination of teal and mustard. I swapped the fringe cardigan from the inspiration post for a boyfriend blazer. Using other posts for inspiration is not about copying piece for piece but more about using your own closet to find suitable substitutes. The inspiration post outfit was also about wearing plaid and plaid shoes were linked in the post, but I subbed my new pointed toe bow flats. I fell in love with these at TJMaxx recently.

 

Where do you find inspiration and how do you use it?
