I am continually finding fashion inspiration at our local Whole Foods Market or "whole pay check" as it is known hereabouts. Run around chic rules here...

Today, a woman, probably in her 60's with cropped grey hair was wearing an slightly oversize white button shirt over indigo slim jeans cuffed at ankle length. She sported a pair of blue patent ballet flats in a lovely shade I haven't seen before, rich, cool blue but not cobalt.

I didn't even notice a bag or jewellery but was struck by the simplicity of the outfit. it's perfect fit and the simple pop of the shoe that made a striking whole. Her pieces could have been designer (Lanvin flats?) or Joe Fresh or somewhere in between but the whole (ha ha) was definitely greater than the sum of the parts.

Last week it was a gal in her 50's and she was wearing a graphic floral shirt with black background under a black leather moto with slightly different floral scarf draped around her neck. Slim cropped dark jeans and pewter flats/black bag finished off an outfit that was modern (where did she get that shirt??) using wardrobe basics. Again, no visible designer logo to make her statement.

Where do you get inspired?
