But in the last few years, I've found myself drawn to the styling in... catalogs! In particular Boden and Garnet Hill always catch my fancy, and even if I end up not buying anything from them or replicating an outfit exactly, I do adopt bits and pieces--or, as you say, certain colors or proportions. <br />I don't know why streetwear doesn't inspire as much as it used to. Maybe because I'm not a big fan of the skinny bottom/fluid top look so in vogue now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proportion-inspiration#post-1444593 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 19:50:42 +0000 Anonymous 1444593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get my ideas and inspiration EVERYWHERE. &nbsp;I am aware of fashion in every facet of my life. &nbsp;</p> <p>I watch the women (and men) walk by my office window and make notes of what works and what doesn't work for office settings. &nbsp;I study the tweens and teens at the mall to see what trends may be coming my way. &nbsp;I read fashion magazines while on the elliptical trainer (then I look around me to see what the women in the gym are wearing). &nbsp;I cut out pictures from the fashion magazines and try to make mood boards. &nbsp;I read fashion blogs and pin ideas that strike me as amazing or inspirational. &nbsp;Sometimes I am drawn by the color combination, sometimes I am intrigued with the style proportions. &nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes I try to step back from fashion&nbsp;and focus on other things like hiking or travel, but even these open up opportunities for me to study the fashion I encounter in those settings. &nbsp;My BF says that I think about fashion to much, but I maintain that everyone does similar things .... but maybe I am more conscious of it than others are. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proportion-inspiration#post-1444546 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:47:51 +0000 rachylou 1444546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the socks and boot clogs. I think that *makes it.* I'm often inspired by people I think are interesting or, more accurately, I identify with over some tenuous thing. Like dogs on the sofa and no hand washing in the kitchen sink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proportion-inspiration#post-1444484 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:48:10 +0000 annabelle 1444484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style is too young and romantic for my type, but I am attracted to the styling, colors and proportions. I enjoy getting inspiration from all places and people, even when it's not right for "me." For instance this outfit pictured might encourage me to push the envelope into a different profile for spring.</p> <p>How about you?
