How could I not be inspired by this room Jacquin shared with me? From the lacquered cobalt walls to the black and white floral art plus much more, this room was chock full of inspiration! Here are the three primary ways that I was influenced by the room.
1. The color palette
Coincidentally, this
vibrant cobalt blue color is very on trend for fall. I've been wanting to dive
into this shade fashion-wise, so I considered this to be a sign to do so. I
immediately thought of this skirt.
Furthermore, I love how the touches of black in the room through both the art
and the rug really ground the blue. Style wise, accessorizing my look with black
helped keep the blue from feeling too light and spring-like. Much like it
grounded the room, the black in my shoes and bag anchored
my look.
By the way, did you
notice that small pop of orange in the room via the lamp? Even that inspired me!
Can you see how that little red heart I found on the streets of Houston
reminded me of the orange in the room?
2. The lines
I loved the
juxtaposition of linearity and curvature in this room. The strong lines of the
walls are balanced by the curves of the desk, chairs, and more.
Much the same way, the
strong lines of my shoes and the skirt
border balance out the curves of the florals and
the scallops of the neckline.
3. The style
To me, this room oozes
elegance, but in a modern way. So, that's what I tried to capture with my look
- a fresh, classy, elegant look.
Bonus style tip: Never be afraid to re-purpose an item in a manner beyond its primary purpose. Here, I've let a one-piece swimsuit double as a body suit paired with a skirt.

letting me share with you here! I'd love to have you join me on my adventures
