Inspiration Time

I've been away from blogging for a few months. Simply because, for a while I lost the inspiration to blog. Aside from that my personal style altered quite a bit in terms of the way I shop. I'd have days where I just want to get up and throw on a pair of jeans and a T. I was getting really bored with my wardobe and cleared out about 60% of it. I threw away clothes that I would take one look at and feel, not ill as such, but sometimes I felt so deressed about some clothing choices I had made that it made me want to cry a bit. And as much as I love clothes I never really realised until recently that a persons wardrobe choices could make you feel that way. Even down to a simple t-shirt or a pair of denim shorts. I am still picking things out every couple of days that I throw in a bag, destined to never be worn again. I discarded of about 30 pairs of shoes and quite a few bags as well. I took some time to ajust or fix the things that I wanted to keep that needed repair. I lost a bit of weight as well so some things either had to go or needed taking in. At first I thought looking into a fairly empty wardrobe would scare me but instead I saw it as the perfect blank canvas for rebuilding a closet that would enspire to be happy with whatever I decided to wear on any given day of the week. 

I then made a long list of peices that I needed to make looking into my own wardrobe more ispiring to me. These things included bright coloured blazer jackets, different colour and printed jeans, smart cigarette shape trousers, large scarves in different patterns and fabrics and statement necklaces. Sounds easy right? However I got into a bad habit of thinking that if I didn't have it I wouldn't bother wearing it. For example; for work I don't really wear any nice pieces of jewellery, a chunky bangle or a big neclace, because they get damaged. So becasue I wouldn't wear them then why  bother buying them? So when I deleted that large chunk of my wardrobe that was holding me back I took the plunge and went and bought some big, bright, fun necklaces. And when I go out for anything other than work, I put one on.

I've also spent quite a bit of my spare time flicking through magazines and looking at street style blogs. I am back to shopping like an addict but this time round my wardrobe looks so different and even thought I am happy with it, I could still do with more. More lux t's, more flat shoes in different colours, more belts, just more. So here are some of the pictures that have not only inspired my to change my style but change the way I shop and look at clothes.....

Alison Mosshart/ Girl Crush

I haven't been blogging long but I did wonder how long it would be before I made a post about one of my most favourite women ever: ALISON MOSSHART! The fantastic Lady behind The Kills and The Dead Weather!!

So here goes.....

The Picturs (and videos below) speak for themselves! Come to think about it honestly I dont think I would be blogging if it wasn't for this woman. One particular day looking for pictures of Miss Mosshart for a project, I stumbled upon a blog or two which spawned the love of blog reading and in turn creating my own blog!!

The Kills- Cheap and Cheerful



The Dead Weather-Treat Me Like Your Mother

The Dead Weather Die By The Drop

Jane Birkin

Sooo in love with Jane Birkin at the moment! Here's why....

She is really inspiring me at the moment, it is slightly upsetting me that I can't pull of what she used to wear although I'm not sure I would want to be able to pull off the outfit in he last picture let alone actually having a place to wear it.

Pictures via Tumblr, and a random Google search.

Alicia Silverstone + Aerosmith= Inspiration

Aerosmith- Crazy

Aerosmith-Cryin

I was thinking today about some inspiration, and over the last 5 or so years i keep coming back to Two Aerosmith videos; Crazy and Cryin'. Crazy was released in 1994 and it followed Cryin' which was released in 1993.
Both videos for me are very inspirational. Strong in 90's trademarks such as the sepia tone in which they were both filmed, right down to the fashion worn by both Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler.  I am talking about things such as; Plaid Flannel Shirts, Denim high waisted hotpants, sleeveless denim shirts, black and brown ankle boots, floral tea dresses, crop tops and jumpers, sleeveless check shirts, Doc Martens.... Yep that sounds like my wardrobe.
