Outfit inspiration can come from a multitude of places like magazines, street style and other bloggers. For me I’ve noticed that the past few months most of my inspiration has come from Instagram. I’ve been following Stacey Bendet designer for Alice + Olivia since I started up my Instagram account; I adore her funky style of ultra feminine pieces that all have a unique twist.  I bought this striped blazer years ago but let it hang in my closet for far too long. To be honest I have been to intimidated to wear it out, I’ve always been afraid the jacket would wear me instead of me wearing the jacket, but without chances we never truly know. I paired up my striped jacket with a simple sweater & maxi skirt, the verdict – as long as I am confident, I can make anything work. I guess that’s what attracts me to Stacey Bendet so much after all, it’s the confidence she has no matter what she wears, even if it’s little pony dolls in her hair!
