>Lately, I find myself looking for inspiration for the upcoming season changeover (more on my inspiration after the jump). I know I need to pack up my white jeans and find new ways to remix my sundresses, but it won’t be cold enough for full-on fall gear for at least another three months around here. When browsing Glamour recently, I found this slideshow of the DOs and DON’Ts of transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall. Bingo!
I loved this casual — but completely chic — look:

And I thought, “hey, I can do that!” So I did:
One of my readers asked on Formspring where I get my inspiration for my outfits. I think it’s safe to say that 80% of it comes from real women — my favorite bloggers, stylish friends, ladies I encounter in my daily life, or fashion websites that feature street style.

>Love this look! Light jackets/ blazers are great transition pieces (sleeveless tops underneath for summer and long-sleeve layers for fall/winter). I definitely read more blogs than anything, although I do usually rip pics out of mags as well (Vogue, usually). The inspiration just seeps in and when I'm choosing an outfit in the morning I just start thinking differently, so it's hard to pinpoint exact sources sometimes. But it is definitely inspiring seeing real women look amazing in real clothes!
>Love this look it's absolutely perfect. I have to say that I've been struggling with the transition too. How do you stay in between summer and fall fashion. Definitely tough. New follower!http://wearingitonmysleeves.blogspot.com
>My biggest inspiration is other bloggers. I also get inspiration from a few fashion magazines.By the way I think I like your translation of the look better.www.noguiltfashion.blogspot.com
>I love this bag. It is the perfect pop of color!
>My inspiration comes from you guys, fashion bloggers, TV, movies, internet… I don't buy any fashion magazine at all. I love the idea of the cropped jacket. You look so comfy and still stylish!
>I love the idea of an inspiration book! I started on myself last week.
>Other fashion blogs mostly. I also like ripping out magazine pages with an outfit or a "feel" I like and putting them in a binder for those days I look in my closet and feel like I have nothing to wear. I try my best to recreate the outfit, it may not work out but at least it's more fun than throwing myself on the floor and whining. : )Jenn
>I would say my inspiration comes from Lucky magazine for sure, TV, Rachel Zoe (love her TV show), Ann Taylor Loft ads, my little sister and some bloggers I follow! Don't forget to enter the Closet Clean-Out Giveaway, a new giveaway every day this week! http://www.afashionfixation.blogspot.com

>I love this, you look so great!I think it's safe to say that I get most of my inspiration from other bloggers. I try not to copy anyone's looks (although I do when I really like them and have the pieces necessary!) but I get a lot of great ideas from reading style blogs. I love it!
>Oh man, blogging is DEFINITELY my biggest source of inspiration. I love seeing how everyday women interpret fashion trends (and sometimes, make their own!).And I loooovee this look on you! Light neutrals look phenomenal with your skin tone.
