this great! =D

Catnip, I'm hoping you'll find some inspiration from our Challenge Chain -- both from the challenge you get as well as the ones given to others.

Cool shots of the city!

I think it's great that you have a uniform that you know works for you and you feel good in. I have plenty of days where I'm lacking enthusiasm for getting dressed in the morning (usually tied to my ever-fluctuating hormones making me feel gross that day, ugh!) and my basic uniform of leather jacket, sweater, jeans and boots is always a solid fallback for me.

I've found pinterest very helpful in inspiring me to try out new looks when I get into too much of a rut. I keep a private board called "outfit inspiration" where I pin outfits that have some element of style that appeals to me but that isn't necessarily what I would have thought of to pull together.

On the mornings where I feel like I need some "fashion inspiration" I look at it and usually an idea then gels in my head.

Can't wait to see how you implement some of the suggestions above. They're all great ideas!

What a great thread. Your style is gorgeous, no doubt. However I understand you want to explore.
1) First, lots of pics is a great advice.

2) Then, set aside some time, go to nice stores you like and just try on different items: shapes, colours and items you would normally never wear. Make it a point to do so. Don't buy anything (unless you completely fall in love). Revisit the pencil, for example, because they keep coming up with new fabrics and better cuts. I could see you in a long midi-length pencil for example, an A-line long jacket, wider, fluid pants, silk print blouse...

3) Then, pay special attention to the shoes/booties. They make or break a style. If you find yourself constantly wearing the same types of things, it may be because the footwear you have command it. Study other styles, and pay special attention to the footwear.

4) Try different ways of tying your scarves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU

Sorry can't look at your clothes, too busy looking out your window
