My Fashion Inspiration for Summer

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…..

Do you like to copy someone’s outfit? My mother likes to shop the mannequin displays in stores. Mom will buy everything on the mannequin because it’s already styled for her! However, I get my fashion inspiration from the women I follow on Instagram.

I follow so many women on Instagram and love to see what women over 50 are wearing. So many of them wear styles that aren’t meant for me, but I like to have an open mind. So when I saw Gigi wearing this exact outfit on Instagram, I knew that I would buy it.

My Fashion Inspiration

When I saw Gigi wearing this exact outfit on Instagram, I knew that I would buy it. Something about this entire look spoke directly to me. I loved this entire outfit!

I am wearing the Shout it Out Pants that you saw in the last post with the kimono from Gigi’s Boutique. I can’t begin to tell you how comfortable and stylish they are! My favorite white pants for the summer! I like the front slit in these pants.

The top and the hat also came from Gigi’s Boutique, but they have sold out. I don’t wear many hats, but when I saw Gigi wearing it, I knew I had to buy this one.

I hope you enjoyed today’s post about my fashion inspiration with Gigi. Where do you get your fashion inspiration from? Since many brands use younger models for marketing it’s hard to see if the style would work for women over 50.  Looking at women over 50 wearing clothes makes it so much easier for me. When I see a younger and thinner model wearing an outfit I always have to look beyond her age and body shape. Hopefully, we will see more mature models in the future!

  1. I just found your blog and am loving your style. I’m almost 57, 5’2″, 135 lbs. and carry my weight around my middle so finding inspiration in an outfit on a tall super skinny model can be frustrating. I own many hats and wear them often so this outfit is one that I’m going to need to copy. I’m weird though in that I do not like feet and will not wear open toe shoes but I think I can wear pumps or mules with this and still be ok. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Hi Robin!
    I can see why you were interested in this outfit! I LOVE it too! The combination is so sophisticated! Love the tan and white and those pants are fabulous! I really love the slit detail as well. I love gold jewelry too with neutrals.
    Have a great week!
    thanks for linking!

      Can you believe that this outfit could also be considered a coastal grandmother style?
      I am writing about this latest trend now!

  3. Love the outfit, I would wear it also….and thanks for sharing Gigi’s Boutique…might you consider sharing other women that you follow so we can be inspired?

      Carole,
      Yes, what a wonderful idea!
      I should do a series on women who inspire me!
      Thank you for the suggestion!
