I've always found inspiration from menswear, specifically men who not only influence me through their style but also through their work. One such man, is Bob Dylan. Two years ago Esquire did a story on men's fashion inspired by Dylan and his somber beatnick style which continues to inspire my everyday style.
F21 for WWF panda tee, thrifted vintage booties, BB Dakota coat,
Vintage Etienne Aigner messenger, target beanie, thrifted cardigan
From his leather pointed boots, his billowy polka dot shirts, skinny jeans, fitted coats and his somber and mysterious dark sunglasses-- he knew how to make a statement, without having to say much. And I love that.
Bob Dylan is great, if you don't know that already.
Here are some of my favorite Dylan songs:
1. Boots of Spanish Leather (my personal fav.)
2. Positively 4th Street
3. Ballad of a Thin Man
4. With God On Our Side
5. Blowin' in the Wind
6. Mr. Tambourine Man
7. Hurricane
8. It Ain't Me Babe
9. Like A Rolling Stone
10. Lepoard-Skin-Pill-Box Hat
11. The Times They Are A Changin'
12. Forever Young
13. Moonshiner (another fav.)
14. Knockin' on Heaven's Door
15. Don't think twice, it's alright (love this one)

Oh wow this is awesome!! I really love how the outfit turned out! And I really liked how you took inspiration from Bob Dylan- it's really creative and bold bc a lot of people wouldn't think to do that. I think it gives the outfit meaning, too.

ReplyDeleteyeah, bob dylan is basically the most awesome man who ever lived.
ReplyDeleteHey, you have a great blog! You are very pretty & I love your style!! :))
ReplyDeleteLooked through all your posts, your faux fur DIY is such a great idea! Will try to do it, just have to find the fabric first. :))
And for the question of who inspires my style, I'm actually inspired by many different people, but I like the 60's hippie and disco style, pin up, rocker, futuristic, 80's... :))
so cute! love the pop of blue.

love your hat and coat, looks gorgeous!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and this post put the biggest smile on my face! Bob Dylan is my love! I own all of his albums on vinyl and CD, and I've seen him in concert 4 times.
ReplyDeleteI would honestly say that music influences my style more than the magazines and trends seen on the runway. I love the rock & roll look. Thanks so much for making my day with this post. <3
The trench is wondering.

You look so pretty and cool, love your hat!
ReplyDeleteRegarding style I am mostly inspired by some blogs I follow and streetstyle. But lately I'm really into Alexa Chung's style..
You look lovely! And it's interesting to hear where you draw your style inspiration from. For me.. I draw inspiration from I guess things I see everyday, shop displays, magazines etc. xx

Eeep I actually have an interview in early January. I'm so nervous! Ill let you know more about it later :)
ReplyDeleteoh i love your bag.x
ReplyDeleteI get a little sickened when a dude looks better in clothes than me :)
ReplyDeleteI have sort of a strange body type so I have to kind of try try try things until they work- then they become my own little "style" by default. If I try to use too much inspiration from others, it just looks all wrong on me
the second pictures looks so surreal and beautiful...you are so lovely...your simple and wonderful!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your bright blue hat and that you found inspiration from men's clothing. =]
ReplyDeleteNice! My dress sense is a weird mishmash of Audrey Hepburn and Nancy Spungen - though I think that's being wildly optimistic to be honest!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet comment:)
ReplyDeleteI would never give up the cold and snow for only heat, but I absolutely don't miss it when it's warm outside and i can wear summer clothes all the time!
I'm glad I more or less have the best of both worlds now:)
I'm following your blog now:)

I'm pretty sure you are my very favoritest hat wearer out there. You just wear them sooo well.
