Inspiration Board: Romantic Pink & Gray a la Paige

In honor of Valentine's Day and in celebration of all things love-related -loving your bf, loving your bff, loving yourself, loving your pets, loving the world at large, loving fashion- we'll be doing a couple of romance-leaning Inspiration Boards to get you in the mood if you're heading out tonight to party with any of the above :). Pink and gray is an incredible, soft combination that has a definite, feminine, dreamy feel to it. It's gorgeous and chic and, if Paige is your fashion goddess, you probably feel the need, as she does, to toughen things up just a bit. I ttly hear that! Paige's cute tee+tulle skirt combo is perfect for warmer climes, but if you're trying to pull this look off in say..oh...25 degree weather, you're going to want a few more layers. Enter the sweatshirt (in my case, layered over an Icebreaker merino wool top). Something with a message, or a graphic is perfectly funky and acceptable. You can go with an unembellished one as well. The important thing here is color: it should be pink, gray, a combo of the two, or a warm neutral (ivory or taupe). Next, you need a femme skirt. I've gone with lace here, but tulle will do nicely, as will anything with sheer, frothy layers or a scalloped hem. Pick your color based on your sweatshirt options so you have a combo of gray and pink. You can swap in another neutral for one or the other if you need to. Now, it's time for the tough stuff...enough of this icky sweetness! Lol. Add heeled biker boots (anything with a zipper will work. Lug soles rough things up even more) and a motorcycle jacket. I've gone with a gray suede version here, but if your closet is a bit short on gray suede, consider  black denim jacket or a gray military jacket instead. Paige has a hint of leopard showing via the lining of her jacket so I added some ferociousness with a leopard print scarf. Give that a try if animal is your thing. Or, try a studded scarf. You can also leave the scarves at home and amp things up with a studded ring or leather bracelets. Happy Styling! #LoveFashion
