A surprisingly common question that I get about my “style” and my “outfits” are “How do you come up with outfit ideas each day?”  Sure, there are days where I just stand in my closet and think, “Uhhh yeah, I have no idea what to wear.” But in general, I love coming up with outfits or styling a look that’s been inspired by pretty much anything. I’ll take inspiration from a mannequin I see in a store, a spread in a magazine, my Stitch Fix style cards (!! best ever !!), and different color palettes.

I’ll see a color palette I like and think, “Hmmm, I have enough pieces in my wardrobe that I think I could totally put together an outfit with those colors in mind!“

When I was up in Massachusetts earlier this month for a wedding, the leaves on the trees had turned and the colors were just gorgeous. The trees are just barely starting to turn here in North Carolina! Anyway, the colors of the trees just were so beautiful and I wanted to sort of put together an outfit with those colors in mind. No, it’s nothing super deep with some hidden meaning… that’s not the case at all. Just sort of taking in inspiration wherever I can! Ya know?

Also, on a separate but somewhat related note… I just need to make a quick comment about these earrings I’m wearing. I’ll be talking about them more in the coming weeks… but if you’ve been following my outfits on Instagram, you know I’ve been wearing Nickel and Suede earrings almost every. single. day. I met Kilee at the Stitch Fix Vacay last month and she introduced us to her earrings and I can confidently say that I am straight up IN LOVE with her earrings. I LOVE this pumpkin suede pair for fall! Hurry though… the earrings are on sale and this color is going away after November 1st!

Happy Wednesday!
