How to Shop your Closet-Pinterest Inspiration

Hi, My name is Tori and I am a Pinterest addict. Who is with me? I am always finding inspiration for clothes, house decor, food, or DIY (not sure why I ever try those tho--epic fails!). I love my style board and wish I had all those clothes in my closet--but alas, I can neither find them all or afford them even if I could!

I am going to start a new series, that I will do a couple times a month, where I will take a outfit off Pinterest and try to re-create it with things I already own in my closet!

This time I took a little bit of an edgy look and made it work for me. I am so not a bada**, but really wish I was--so this look is perfect! I love that this blazer is such a classic staple piece, but it has the cool leopard details and is paired with a vintage style T-shirt and funky jewelry to give it a much more dressed down look.

{Booties: Old Navy} {Jeans: American Eagle Jean Style} {Blazer: Chic Nova}
(Shirt: Charlotte Russe} {Watch: Michael Kors} {Jewelry: assorted collection of older pieces}

We are having a polar vortex here in Ohio, so opted out of the super cute-but very chilly looking shorts, and instead went with boyfriend jeans. I like the funky look the booties give to the outfit and I paired it with a simple loose Oxblood colored t-shirt. 

Taking things I already own--aka not spending more money (my hubby loves that too) and remixing them into new outfits is so fun and a total creative outlet. I would never have thought to pair this all together, and have actually worn all these items, multiple times, but with totally different looks. I love that Pinterest gave me this idea and I could make it my own. In the summer--and after many many workouts I am planning to do ha--I may even try it all paired with shorts and cute little flip-flops!

Ps. I apologize for the bad lighting in the photos--this cold has me trapped inside for pictures! C'mon mother nature--I am ready for Spring!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking time out of your day to read :)

  3. Such a cute look! I love finding inspiration from outfits on Pinterest. It doesn't have to be an exact copy, sometimes just the color scheme of the outfit inspires ideas!

  7. I live in Ohio too- in central Columbus! Like you I did some indoor photos today- it is just way too cold to go out there for more than a minute! Pinterest is the best!

  9. Your boyfriend jeans are ripped to perfection--did you buy them distressed or wear them out yourself? I love Pinterest as well, but sometimes I feel like I pin too many things and never actually use the inspiration in reality. I love how you are translating the looks into everyday outfits.
