Inspiration Tuesday: Romantic

Today's post is inspired by all of the things I find romantic.

As you read this post I will be enjoying the new tunes from MCR, and I think, having previewed the leaked ones online, The Light Behind Your Eyes might be one of my new all-time favorites. It's very beautiful.

Which brings me to what I find romantic. When I think of romantic things, I don't think of sexy heels or beachy hair like the magazines seem to tell me I should. I think of soft punky hair colors, curls and long dreads. I think of layered lacy dresses, legwarmers and comfy conversations over coffee. I think of scenes like in Last Train to Clarksville ( song by the Monkees ) or reading books. When I think of romance, I think of comfortable things, because to me, those things are romantic. Soft faded blue jeans with your favorite sweater is romantic. Cute dresses with mocs or flats are romantic. I think of Weetzie Bat, Starr from The Lost Boys and Andie from Pretty in Pink. So here you go- some of my favorite romantic looks from the week.

I love her soft turquoisey mermaid hair. If my hair were just a touch straighter I would very much wear this hair  style.

Pin
One day I will have two of the things in this picture- long dreads and a nose piercing. This is a fact.

Pin
While her hair color is dreamy, I have to say I love her necklace and her hair cut a whole bunch.

Pin
I need more hair flowers in my life. I love the bright purple contrasting against the bright red hair, and I really like her sweater.

Pin
I told Megan Mae if I ever cut my hair short again I might go for this cut. Not for a while, though- I'm determined to get it long.

Pin
I LOVE these bloomers. They would be super cute under dresses and they can double as pajama bottoms.

Pin
I would wear this so much. I love her shoes and necklace, but that dress steals the show.
Pin
This jacket is amazing. I want the whole outfit.

Pin
This is my favorite pin of the week. I love the overalls dress, the bloomers and lacey shirt underneath, the cropped jacket and that choker. I would rock this look so much. I want everything in this shot. I think I might need to save this for a dream outfit post in the future.

Pin
I like how loose this jumper is but it looks so adorable anyway. It would probably be cute with a belt, too.

Pin
I'm going to need to thrift a leather jacket and try this painted jacket look. I love moons so much.. Speaking of...
Pin
I adore this moon charm necklace.
Pin
 And this layered pink patchwork dress just has my name on it. I wish I could find patterns for dresses like this so I could make a bunch. They look so comfy and cute. I would wear this with cowboy boots, I think.

There you have it - my Inspiration for the week! What do you think? What is romantic or inspiring to you? until tomorrow!

  2. You find some of the most dreamy pins. I love the romantic looks, I only wish they suited my style. I do enjoy all the hair posts. Lagenlooks have definitely been inspiring me lately. I can't pull off too much volume, but the ease of the looks has been something I'm reaching for.

  3. i am really loving mcr's new music. i just spent the afternoon listening to danger days--is it true that they dont really like that album? i heard they were rushing to record new music that was more like their old stuff or something because they didn't like danger days.

    i figured if anyone would know, you would :)

  5. Loving the soft layers look! You're definitely inspiring me... I hate that I have so many projects. And why am I always making such structured, fitted stuff (which I end up rarely wearing), when I absolutely love the looks you've curated in this post?! (I think I know why I've been eying the linens at Jo-Ann Fabrics lately... thanks for the revelation.)
