Sometimes we gravitate to a particular style or way of dressing unintentionally. We pick out a blouse, pair it with a certain skirt, shoes and before we know it our style has been wholly influenced. With so much inspiration out in the world, it’s easy to be influenced by a cool subliminal style.
Currently my fashion sense has been inundated with the starkness of black and white, penny loafers and cuffed trousers. I don’t know why or when, but I am currently under the influence of the 1950′s Teddy Girl style. Tough, masculine and casual. Teddy Girls ruled the roost and are clearly ruling my style.
Check out more photos of Teddy Girls from the fifties.

What style is currently influencing you?
I visit this blog quite often and I just love how much energy and inspiration I leave with! It’s the Total Package for the Total Woman. Please keep feeding my soul! It’s funny you posted this entry because I have become obsessed with trying to create a 40′s/50′s look with a modern day twist on it. I have always admired the sense of style from that era and Notebook just made me go crazy! But that is definitely the influence I’m under.
Thanks so much Jasmine! I love that “Total Package for the Total Woman”! Isn’t retro style so divine?
Here, here, Jasmine! I agree. I have stepped out of my comfort zone with trends and ‘decoding my signature style’. I have tiptoed into becoming a 30-something fashionista. Fajr’s site/inspiration has made me use pinterest as a working stylebook, and definitely made me embrace my eccentric-chic style that has been in-and-out of my life since my early teens. YAY Stylishthought!
YAAAYYY!!! That is so exciting! I feel like I can’t get enough of it. I need to do the same, maybe create a book of inspirations to flip through and choose from day to day and season to season.
Uh oh!! I think I’m biting that idea from you Jasmine! Officially stolen. Okay, seriously. I found an app called StyleBook for iPhone, it’s like electronic dress up for women…I bought it real skeptically like okay, how do you do this…found out, and now I am overhauling my closet. Massive OVA-HAUL(Say it w/ my fake UK accent)…It is a mess on my schedule, but I feel so wonderful with it. It’s like a layer cake of fashion, Stylishthought, pinterest, style app, cut outs from magazines…am I 15 again (yup)!! okay, I have to act like I am doing work now but thank you for starting the thread! again I’m biting that idea =]
Tam we can share our great ideas!! I think creating a styling book will be great and I will be checking out this app! I have the free app called stylish girl and girrrrrllll let me tell you…it’s everything!! I’m excited! Ok I’m going to go get my life together. Lol
