the wardrobe folder...

while we all keep folders or binders of recipes that we have found...that we might want to try one day...or possibly a picture of a room that we hope to somehow create ourselves...these pictures of inspiration are all helpful to us to remember...first what it looks like...to see what pieces are necessary...etc...

the same exercise should be used for your clothing inspiration...whether you find a fabulous outfit in a magazine...rip it out and save it...or maybe it is a color combination...does not even need to be an actual outfit...perhaps it is a picture of scenery...or decor...the combination of color resonates with you...no reason why you couldn't incorporate that into an outfit...

items...pictures...scenery...all these things speak to us...and stir up some type of good feeling...so why not wear that feeling?  i have a client who saves pictures for me...and then we work at creating these outfits for her...sometimes...the pieces are all already in her closet...other times...we are just missing one key piece...and that is what we shop for...

when i go to my hair stylist...when i am ready for a new look...i bring in pictures of what i like...and then she sits with me and explains why something will work with my hair texture...and if it won't - how we can get a similar look - that suits my hair...in the same way...there may be outfits that don't work exactly as the picture shows...but ways of tweaking an outfit...to get the same feel and look...but that fits with your particular body type...

the key is...focus on the things that speak to you...and grab that photo...or snap it with your camera or phone...to remember it by...start that wardrobe folder...i for one...get a kick when i look through the folder and am able to create these fabulous outfits...that all started from a picture...many for a lot less...
