Good morning! I wanted to start a new series today, so that I can regularly share some outfit inspiration here on the blog (for those of you not subscribed to The Monthly Array!). NYFW has just passed us by, so there's a lot of street style floating around the web. This Instagram caught my attention in a real way the other day:

These ladies look fresh to death, and yet, I feel like their outfits can be easily digested and broken down. So many great details, so much originality, and though it looks trendy, it's really made up of so many staples!

Here's my take on the outfits:

coat, sweater, skirt, hat, glasses, boots.

jacket, top, skirt, tights, boots, sunglasses.

These outfits make me so happy. Cozy, functional, really fun. You could swap a neutral pleated skirt and bomber jacket / blazer here for a look that's a little less extra. Also...white tights, who knew? My 6 year old self would be impressed.

Have a great day!

As I've mentioned before, my style sensibility and inspiration typically comes from outside myself. For as long as I've had eyes, I've been hyper observant. Not that I don't like to put my own spin on things by using my noggin, but I'm definitely a visual learner in every sense of the word.

This outfit spoke to me the other day. Sure, Kendall Jenner looks great in everything, but it takes the right hardware to make jeans and a t-shirt look sexy. And I don't mean her body, I mean the quality of the clothes on her back. The outfit is simple, but finding the right fit for your body is like finding the right key for a lock - once you find it, you're in.

Luckily, a deep V-neck works great for most folks. If you have tiny boobs, it shows off your décolletage, if you have big boobs, self explanatory. Wearing a great tee the right way is about showing off the right assets, and leaving the others behind. For me, I'm self conscious about my tummy, so I make sure it's nice and long and loose at the bottom and has a fun scoop neck or v-neck on top. If you're good with your stomach, wear a cropped tee or tuck it in like Kendall is doing here. You feel me?
