I love a good catalog in the mail. This one is from Garnet Hill.
As I flip through the pages and find myself drawn to an outfit, I’m reminded of previous outfits I felt good in. My husband also made up a fun game with our daughters where they were asked to select a specific outfit, on any given page, they think I would go for.
This made me wonder, what would my own catalog look like?
The outfits and photos of me that practically say, “I am the inspiration.”
The ones I either continue to reach for, like a good cardigan or boots, or those I have fond memories of.
So take this as a version of my own catalog. A look back down memory lane of some of my favorite pieces. A few photos were taken while I was out and about, and a few were at home (well my previous apartment) as I tried on clothes. Behind the scenes if you wish.
I think the reason I love a catalog so much, and was reminded of it recently, is because it’s something tangible. Once I close it, I usually have the urge to create. Whether it’s something like this post or putting an outfit together for my youngest daughter’s upcoming baptism. It’s more than just consuming content, I get to create and be my own source of inspiration.
Are they any pieces you’re drawn to here? What would your own catalog look like if it included pieces you love?
