Style Diary: Inspired by Olivia Palermo
Do you ever see someone’s outfit and get inspired to wear something similar i.e. copy someone else’s look?
I find that this sometimes happens subliminally. You see a red dress on a co-worker and for some reason the red dress in your closet pops out at you the very next day. Sometimes though, you admire someone’s outfit and pick it apart, analyzing the pieces that correspond to your own wardrobe, teaching and reminding yourself that you could create a similar look. That’s what happened when I ran into this photo of Olivia Palermo – one of my style inspirations.
I was inspired by this because though I’m a fan of the cardigan+dress+belt work look, I would not have thought about pairing the camel color with the black/white dress. So here is my Olivia Palermo inspired work outfit using my own patterned black and white H&M dress (bought on sale for $15), paired with a vintage belt and camel colored cardigan from Express(bought on sale for $19.99). Booties are from a NY boutique.
The necklace is from Bloomies.
Can you see the inspiration? What do you think of my outfit?
