In attempts to try and save both money and reduce the amount of clothing in my closet I have decided to start recreating looks that I have liked in the many magazines that I read every month. I have been keeping a look book since I was in the fifth grade, and I would take out pages of outfits that I would like. Most of my outfits gather some inspiration form reading the magazines but I though it would be fun to share the original and my version. My first recreation followed pretty closely I think (sans hat, leather pants and sandals). I liked that the black vest was the focus of the outfit because of the layered stripped tee underneath. Although I love the look of leather pants, I have yet to find a pair that stays on, I always find that they slide down as I move around. So they currently just aren't worth having as part of the wardrobe. I opted for my favourite jeans instead. I also opted for my black booties instead of sandals seeing as it is January and all. Finally too keep with the black and white palette I chose my favourite coat and bag.

I am looking forward to remixing my closet in fresh new ways, with my look book for inspiration,
