Pinspiration to Reality: Translating Couture

















Today I'm going to share with you my final tip for pinspiration success. It's all about translating couture into an everyday look.  I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to follow blogs or pin looks that seem so out of the realm of something I could ever wear; they don't seem to translate to my life style.  Take for example Blair.  The style.  Oh my, the style.  Before a trend has even make it on my radar Blair has been wearing it, and wearing it well for like a year.  As beautiful as every look is, it's hard for me to relate to her or her style.  Take my inspiration today, this one look of Blair's is pretty much the cost of my clothing budget for THE ENTIRE YEAR.

This is where my tip come in: look at the idea of the outfit, not the outfit as a whole.  Take away the Chanel Broach and trade in these $350 JCrew pants for a more affordable option, and you've got a a great professional look that easily works for every-day wear.
