It seems like there's no end to this rain...so I skipped out on an outfit picture and realized it's been a while since I did an
inspiration post! We all gather inspiration in so many ways. One of the most obvious, perhaps, is from designers themselves and what they show us on the runway. I have been finding myself inspired by classic styles and designers recently...but, of course, classic with a
twist! (all photos via
style.com)
My favorite classic designer inspiration has been coming from J. Crew these days:
(See even more inspiration from the Fall collection in
this post)
 |
| perfect trousers |
 |
| classic skirt and blouse |
 |
| "grandma chic" |
 |
sweater + maxi
(saw this trend in each of these 3 designer's collections) |
 |
| gorgeous trench |
My top 3 from the Spring 2012 collection:
 |
| fancy meets casual |
 |
| print mixing continues |
 |
| playing with proportions and colors |
Another classic designer worthy of taking inspiration from, is Michael Kors:
 |
| 70s style |
 |
| menswear goes monochrome |
 |
| 70s diva queen |
My top 3 from the Spring 2012 collection:
 |
| sweater + skirt |
 |
| printed trench-dress |
 |
| safari chic |
And then there is Ralph Lauren, whose classic designs have been inspiring us for decades:
 |
| classic black & white with a midi twist |
 |
| boho heaven |
 |
| casually classic with a boho twist |
My top 3 from the Spring 2012 collection:
 |
| 40s style |
 |
| shorts-suit |
 |
| 40s style midi skirt |
Part of the reason I wanted to do this inspiration post is because I am
literally taking inspiration from each of these classic designers! You've already seen me re-create this Michael Kors look
here:
Now, stay tuned to see my re-creations of these looks!:

| J.Crew |

| Ralph Lauren |

LOVE the 'Grandma Chic' outfit! I may have to copy it! JCrew is all the rage right now! Really loving their brights and just their over all feel!

P.S., the clothing line Shakuhachi from Urban outfitters can be found online, so check it out!
Love the grandma chic look from JCrew! Their new fall catalog has quite a bit of inspiration. Love the monochromatic looks and their matchstick pants. Just wish I could force myself to stomach the prices! Heather
Ralph Lauren was the best for sure!!

I love these looks, especially the maxi skirt with the jumper. I barely follow runway looks to be honest, but these are great.
