Happy Monday! On the blog today I am sharing something really fun, and its a style challenge that I am going to pass off to you! With awards season now over(the oscars was a couple of weeks ago) we have been seeing celebrities turning out in their very best. I keep up with my favorite celebs on Instagram, I follow Beyonce, CardiB, and Miranda Lambert, just to name a few. I also draw inspiration from them on how to style looks, each woman has drastically different tastes and has really curated a signature look. And THAT really got me thinking, how could I use that inspiration in real life.
Fast forward to my HIPS visit last week, I was shopping around the store and kept picking up items that were so “Michael Jackson” etc… So in a fun twist, instead of my usual outfit post I am sharing celeb inspired fashion using only pieces from HIPS Resale Boutique in Clawson MI. Putting these looks together was so fun, because I had a style icon in mind. This theme worked especially well in a curated resale shop like HIPS because they have such an eclectic array of items for sale. HIPS is especially great, because EVERYTHING is plus size!!! In my last visit I found myself asking questions about the sellers at HIPS, because there are so many beautiful unique items in the store.
Michael Jackson

The first look I styled was a Michael Jackson inspired outfit. With the Prince of Pop in mind I reached for a jacket with gold zippers and shoulder pads to bring the drama. I styled this jacket with a blue swing dress, and statement sunglasses with that same blue lens. I also grabbed these metallic silver loafers(which I bought LOL) to bring a touch of glam and that classic MJ loafer style, this tiny little sequin bag was another purposeful pick to draw out that Michael Jackson esque glam. I loved the way the silver and gold sequins worked together, perfect for a night out dancing and just big enough to hold the essentials.
Stevie Nicks

Let me be completely honest. I love to dress like Stevie Nicks, her bohemian glam style speaks to me and I often find myself dressing like her. So this celeb inspired style was easy for me, a flowy maxi dress, some circle sunglasses, and cognac booties. This bohemian style is really fun to shop for at HIPS, there are lots of bohemian style pieces in the boutique and HIPS has recently started carrying luxury items. You can shop their designer vault online and visit these items in store as well. I felt the Stevie Nicks vibe coming on strong when I paired this flowy wrap maxi(from City Chic) and round sunglasses, there is just something about the freedom a bohemian look gives you, comfort, ease and done correctly this type of look is ultra chic.
LOUIS VUITTON Cartoucherie Bag
So here is you challenge, sometime in the near future get dressed in the morning with your favorite celeb in mind! Let their creativity as an artist or actress inspire you. I know that the two outfit combinations I shared today are not “new” concepts, but they take on new life when inspired by a celebrity!
All the items(except the silver loafers) can be found at HIPS Resale Boutique located on the web and in Clawson MI.
