I've always considered myself someone who appreciates fashion and is inspired by good style. I love to observe trends, study the biannual fashion week runways, and read the next season projections in my favorite glossies. I also find it fascinating that the way people dress often reflects a country's current economic state (yes, there is a correlation- ever heard of the hemline theory?). As much as I love following fashion, I don't get too creative or adventurous when it comes to my own wardrobe. I'm short (5' 2"), and I know by now the silhouettes and cuts that work best on my shape- and I tend to stick with those when pulling together a look. Still, I do borrow subtle styling ideas and layering techniques from fashion gurus. One style maven I've become infatuated with this year is Maja Wyh. Her website sits on my favorites bar and I love scrolling through her site and her instagram to check out her latest looks. She's the queen of baggy pants, strappy heels, breezy dresses and wraps, and layers upon layers of sweaters and coats when the weather calls for it. Here are a few of my favorite looks from Maja:
To me, her style transcends fashion and is more of an art form. She manages to balance the loose and free flowing with the tailored, the masculine with the feminine, the flashy with the classic. Her looks are fabulously curated yet she presents them effortlessly.
While it feels criminal to find inspiration from winter ensembles at the moment, it would be remiss of me not to share some of Maja's layered cold weather looks:
Obviously I love the leopard print accents in many of her looks, as well. The girl is fierce! Which look is your fave?
