I’m often asked where I get my inspiration. Two of my biggest sources of ideas are other outfit bloggers and magazines. I hope it doesn’t sound too pompous to share that I also find inspiration from my own, past outfits. Today’s outfit was inspired by one I
wore last July. I’m wearing the same vest and same belt over a different jersey dress.

Sometimes, when I’m stuck for outfit ideas, I’ll look at what I was wearing a year (or two or three) ago. It isn’t always inspiring, but usually entertaining. Here’s what I was wearing on this date in 2009, 2008, and 2007.

I also find it interesting to reflect on my incredible closet rotation. I no longer have the vest or shoes in the second picture or the skirt or shirt in the third picture. And when that third picture was taken (2007), I didn't own anything that I'm wearing today.

I am still having fits of envy over your amazing hair color!
That's a very funky outfit!
I like looking back at my archives as well - it's one of the reasons I started blogging. I love seeing my old clothes.
You are looking particularly great today! Loving that outfit. The vest and belt over the dress is a great combination.
Not pompous at all. I think looking back at past outfits is a great way to get inspiration - you can riff off of stuff that has already worked!
And this vest, belted? Works.
It's not pompous at all. It's a great idea. And thanks for sharing your stroll down memory lane with us - very fun to see.
Cute. Your hair is rockin' today.
these are o great! I really love the layering of different pieces and colours xx
You are such a blog pro... you've been doing it for years!
I also look back through the archives to see how my look has changed and what I want to repeat. This look is definately worth another go!
Ooh, I think I like the new version even better than the first! I also look back through my archives when I'm stumped for an outfit.
