From Wares to Wear: Make my Pillow into an Outfit
I thought it would be fun today to try my hand at creating a fashion look using a home decor item as my inspiration. This isn't the first time I've done this of course, but for some reason it ended up being much more challenging than I expected this time around. I would have loved to get more of the blue and pink from the pillow into the final look, but here's what I came up with for better or worse. Are you ever inspired to put together outfits based off of decor in your home or elsewhere? What decor item would you most love to see turned into a wearable look right now? Leave me a link and maybe you will inspire my next fashion post. xo Ez

Such a lovely idea, Ez! Adore this post. Have got the same heels in orange and pink, posted today actually! http://t.co/35wzm7j Have fallen for this rug from zara home, could create such lovely combinations and the recent color blocking trend. xo
Thanks Samia! Those shoes are amazing! Are they pretty comfortable? And that rug is great...you could definitely use it to inspire a fab outfit! :-) xo Ez
Love the color palette here! thanks for sharing xx
what a lovely collection! that dress just may be the perfect yellow.
Soooo pretty! Love this!
I like how the colors blend well. :)
That's a great idea and the source of some real creativity! I love doing something similar, creating design boards inspired by a particular bird's colors. I'd love to see what you come up with based on this room and its accessories... here;s the link:

It's encouraging to see there are others out there who think like me! ;) I sometimes even get inspiration for an outfit from a sunset sky or the reflections on a wet rainy road whilst driving home from work!!
love it! my suggestion (and it's not decor, but along the same lines) is this book close-up http://pinterest.com/pin/52483947/
a hint of a stripe... a slash of orange... would love to see what you come up with!
the colour combinations are beautiful and I love the cushion too
Should've known the dress was Madewell. It's so pretty and simple. Perfect for hot summer days.

Thank you so much guys!
Anne - Your room makeover is wonderful! That would translate into a great outfit too!
Rose - That is such an inspiring photo...I'd love to try and make that into an outfit! I'll see what I can do. co
Ez – Yes, they are surprisingly comfortable! That platform does wonders with evening the weight out. :) x
I covet that belt & those shoes. Awwww! Thanks, as always, for contributing to my shopping wish list.
