August Outfit Inspiration Calendar

Inspiration

Standing in front on the closet without a clue of what to wear? Feel like you wear the same 10 outfits over and over? Well, look below for a month worth of daily outfit inspiration (also, previous months' calendars can be found in the left column). This month I pulled all of the inspiration from current magazines and catalogs along some suggestions from the Fab Finds Flickr Group. A new thing you will see this month are some "inspirational" pictures of interior design and food. Fashion for Nerd's Audi has shared how she gathers inspiration from interiors before and ever since then I have looked at my home mags in a whole new light! However, something new to me was the suggestion of looking to food (thanks, evanadine)!

Speaking of the Fab Finds Flickr Group - we would love to have you join! Flickr is free for a limited account and it's great for those that don't have a blog but still want to share - click here for more information.

Thank You! Thank you! Thank you! August is a busy month for me with the kids going back to school and all, this will help me not have to think too hard about what to wear. Anything that makes life easier, I'm all for.

I can't believe it! I'm wearing today's outfit inspiration and I didn't even look at the calendar! Talk about synchronicity!

wow, i get called out by name! i never really thought much about being inspired by food until a coworker pointed out one day that i totally matched my watermelon mug. certain foods seem to be season-specific (watermelon for the summer, for example) so it would just seem appropriate to turn those seasonal foods into seasonal fashion inspiration! from reading your blog + others, i have learned to keep my eyes open for inspiration -- beauty hits you when youre not looking for it, so the key is to take that inspiration and make it your own!

Ooh, those are some nice interiors -- I may use those, though whether or not I'm enough of a planner to make it happen on the exact day is another question entirely...
