It’s extremely important to tap into your creativity by exploring. Travel. Read. Watch videos. Listen to music. Find something or someone that interests you and research and research and research. Find someone who inspires you and once you’ve got a grasp on her(or him) find out who and what inspired THEM. And keep going.
I draw a lot of inspiration from music and film. Stevie Nicks has had a big influence on me. When I watch videos of her and hear her voice I get a spark not just from her style but from her passion. When I listen to Fleetwood Mac I get an energy and I translate that feeling through the way that I dress. I wear flowy dresses, crazy hats… I even get music themed nail art.
When people hear that I have a blog they automatically assume that I’m a “fashion” person, but that’s not it at all. Clothing helps me express myself. I almost see it as a form of art. Clothing can help you feel connected. Below is a video I took at the Fleetwood Mac concert this month. It’s Stevie Nicks discussing a clothing store in San Francisco called The Velvet Underground and how it inspired her. Hopefully it will spark something in you as well.
