WIW from my Pinterest board - YouLookFab Forum

Hey, just a couple of outfits from this week, for which I took inspiration from my Pinterest board. Not exact copies - Pinterest my way!

1\2. Cream coat on cream sweater. Mine aren't quite cream, but different tones of light beige. Also, I haven't had time to update my booties post, but I did land on the Blondos because they were the right amount of dressy, weatherproof, and when I looked in person were a darker taupe than the website showed.

3/4. Ok the Pinterest photo is a little bougier than mine - note the YSL bag vs. my thrifted find But I surprisingly love this combo of layered shirts on top and athletic "flared leggings" as the youths call them (or what I lovingly know as yoga pants). The beauty of this combo too, as well as the next one, is that I only have to swap out half the outfit and I'm ready for my Pilates or yoga practice in the evening. #lazy

5/6. A bit boring, but the Pinspiration had me pull out this old deep green lightweight sweatshirt. I added a bit of contrast and silver accents to make it more interesting.

C'est toute! Have you been wearing anything from your Pinterest board lately?

I have not looked at Pinterest in years. Your outfits look amazing on you. Maybe I should look for some ideas.

ChristelJ

Very nice adaptations! Pinterest your own way is the way to do it. Those creamy beiges on you are beautiful. Love the proportions in the second outfit, and the dark green with silver and denim is a lovely combination.

My pinterest images are full of wool jackets and giant scarves I never need in my hot climate, so a fantasy life...

Runcarla

These are really good! #1 has got that ‘stealth wealth’ look. Well done!

I keep up several Pinterest boards, and absolutely take outfit inspiration from my picks. Not so much for new acquisitions, but for ideas on how to style what I already own.

BlueJay

Looking good Helena! I like all the creams, blacks and blues.

(I logged in to Pinterest yesterday for the first time in maybe a year. My boards need updating!)

RobinF

Great interpretations! I get frustrated with Pinterest but maybe I need to give it another shot. Love look #2, very layered and I'm there for it!

Roberta

All excellent, particularly the deep green top with silver accents. I also keep a hundred or so pins for colors and combinations and scroll through them regularly for inspiration. I use the Outfit Generator (tm) the same way.

My Pinterest has been very neglected in recent years — these are great renditions of your inspiration!

Cardiff girl

I love a Pinterest inspo post!l think you have do this very well.l particularly like the cream jacket

kkards

Well done! #5 is my fav, so put together, but so easy

Laurie

Always love your outfits, especially #1 - effortless chic.

Katerina

These are great! I like your interpretations even better than the inspiration pictures. No 5 is pure perfection!

SarahD8

Really nice! I cannot pick a favorite. I do love that guitar strap bag!

I think Pinterest "inspired by" outfits are way more interesting than exact copies, so I applaud your approach here.

JamC

All nice polished looks!
Funny, I wore that green BR top yesterday! It has lasted quite a while, and still in good shape. It’s a good weight for transitional weather.

Dee

Fun renditions and I can definitely see myself trying look #3 because I too have a pair of flared leggings lol. I've never actually copied a look from Pinterest until perhaps now.

Helena

Thank you so much everyone!

Dee, let's see your rendition when you do it!
Jam, it really is a good top - I have it in black also. I almost editted it out because I feel like I've had it for so long and worn it so much .... but it's so comfy and just polished enough (but still works for yoga too!)
Sarah, agreed - plus I never have exact pieces ... it's more combos of what I already have in the closet, and Carla notes.
Katerina, Laurie, kkards, CG, Janet, thank you so much
Joy, BJ, Robin, Roberta, I hope you find some good inspiration is reviving or revisiting your Pinterest boards. Christie, that sounds like another excellent way of using Pinterest!

Style Fan

These are all great, Helena. I have similar flared yoga leggings. I find them very versatile. I like the way you have styled yours.
I collect lots of inspiration on Pinterest, but I don't often do more than that. Maybe that will change.

Brooklyn

These are great. I particularly like no 1, which I think is more interesting than the inspiration.

Looks great all together - #2 as a fav outfit ( layering! ).
Not really doing Pinterest - prefer YLF forum .

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Let me begin by saying that I much prefer your versions to the inspiration pics!

Dear, Helena! You have found your groove and are looking better than ever. Truly

Special love for the oatmeal twinset effect in #1. Pretty, polished and chic!

Jonesy

You look fab and I don't find the last look with the dark green sweatshirt boring at all :)! I love the accessories, especially those beautiful loafers, and the dark green really suits you. The first creamy look is gorgeous.

I have an old Pinterest board that I occasionally look at, but I haven't added anything to it in years.

I don’t use a Pinterest board. Not quite sure where I get my ideas? I think mainly what’s available at retail that taps into what I’ve liked in the past- I remember first really liking something at age 13, so a memory trove of everything I’ve ever liked since then?
Your ideas from your inspo are cool!

Jaime

Excellent interpretations. The guitar strap and the silver detail on the loafers add a lot to your looks.

I especially like the first outfit! I'll look at Pinterest but haven't done my own boards yet. My strategy is more wardrobe capsules than individual outfit inspiration though.
