You don’t need a million dollars to dress and feel good about yourself. Having a good eye and knowing what your style is, is key when shopping for pieces for your closet. Finding inspiration from celebrities and fashion influencers are a great start. So here’s a guide to kickstart your wardrobe staples.
Before you start going shopaholic on yourself and end up buying repeated pieces, begin with a mood board. How you do it is by picking and choosing what you think your style is or what style suits you best, the colours you like on yourself, a brand you like you can easily find dupes for, to prevent yourself from breaking the bank or celebrities/influencers that inspire you etc.. Nowadays, there are so many web applications that serve as a mood board such as Pinterest, Shoplook, Instagram, where you can save collection or you can also do it old fashion way—cut out inspirations from magazines and lay it out in front of you. The best things in life are free! Here are a few that we got inspired by.

Magazines have always done these pages to inspire people according to the latest trends
If collaging doesn’t tickle your fancy then maybe pre-planning your outfits and finding what you like for an event (Dinner date, School/ University, Work) might make it easier for you to shop for your closet.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. — Coco Chanel
With that being said, finding inspiration does not only end online, the world is your oyster! Your interests can vary between a range of things from the worlds of pop culture, music, the arts, interior design, and—of course—fashion. There are endless possibilities, no wrong or right when it comes to setting up a mood board. Now that you know How To Mood Board, go crazy and collage to your heart’s desire.
Good luck xx
