But since my style has been evolving, for these photos I popped on my sneakers for a more boy meets girl vibe that is quite fitting of my personal style as of late.<br />

Life has been so busy but fashion is always on my mind. The print of this dress definitely caught me off guard. On the hanger the checkerboard print was a little loud but the dress on shows that the fit is really flattering. I finished off the look with some awesome ankle strap pumps, a pair of shoes that have been on my wish list for a very long time.<br />

It's not the biggest problem in the world but through that little rough patch I was able to reevaluate what made my style mine. I guess if I were to define it in this very moment, I'd say I am more inclined to wear things that are menswear inspired with clean lines and not too many frills. My taste has always been pretty simple but I've ventured into more color which is always unexpected and fun. And I guess I kinda love this sort of combination I'm wearing in this post and previously <a href="http://becomingrefined.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-latest-some-things-borrowed.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://becomingrefined.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-latest-plain-simple.html" target="_blank">here</a> (hence the distinct post title).<br />

Yes, I just had to take a photo of the look without the jacket cause I love the faux leather sleeves that add an edgy contrast to the simple gray tee. Currently I'm all about comfy tees with cool patterns or unique details that separate them from just an average cotton blend t-shirt. I'm loving the fact that they have evolved in the style realm as being a base for a chic outfit or downplaying a fancier piece. The versatility of a tee has become the epitome of fashion moving forward. To think that previously these pieces were just thrown on willy-nilly without really any care in the world. The new selection of styles excites me that even in a time crunch I can still look put together.</div>

The weather seemed grey though not too gloomy so the darker lip was chosen to complete the overall look of laid-back glamour, if that concept even really makes any sense. I have also been so inspired by <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/100416266661856221/" target="_blank">this pin</a> minus the leopard details. What are some looks you've pinned and have tried to replicate or have yet to flesh out the inspiration in real life? I'd love to know!<br />

</div>
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343092/?ref_=sr_1" target="_blank">The Great Gatsby</a> opened in theaters this week and I thought, what great way to give a celebratory nod, than reminisce upon the fashion of this era as it inspires looks today and what it actually looked like in the 1920s.<br />
<br />
Women's trends in this era consisted mostly of drop-waisted sheath-like dress with pleated or slitted skirts adorned with embellishments as well. But this type of style actually resonated with the younger generation at the time as it was not as conservative comparably to the older women that came before them. These dresses presented much more of a freedom for ladies to enjoy themselves at dances and parties. <a href="http://www.schiaparelli.com/en/history.html" target="_blank">Elsa Schiaparelli</a> was a major designer in this period who focused on this type of silhouette comparing it to the stylings of the Greeks and Romans, inspired by tunics and the goddesses.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Popular actresses who fore fronted fashion trends in this decade consisted of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0681933/" target="_blank">Mary Pickford</a> who starred in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0012408/" target="_blank">The Love Light</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018183/" target="_blank">My Best Girl</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0203836/" target="_blank">Marion Davies</a> featured in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0012928/" target="_blank">Beauty's Worth</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019258/" target="_blank">The Patsy</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000315/" target="_blank">Louise Brooks</a> as seen in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018737/" target="_blank">Pandora's Box</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020475/" target="_blank">Diary of a Lost Girl</a>.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Even now fashion is still inspired by this bygone era, integrating the classic silhouette into modern day collections with throwback embellishments and swinging skirts.</span><br />

My guy friend on the other hand can't stand that this print, of all prints, is in mainstream fashion. I won't bother to explain that he really has no power in stopping the trend as much as he dislikes it. But between he and I it is quite amusing that he can be so bothered by a print. ;)<br />

I'm just glad I was able to score these pants on sale. But honestly the look of these pants were inspired by a pin like <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/100416266664152804/" target="_blank">this</a> and I admit I'm on a Pinterest kick this week, sometimes that's where inspiration is drawn from I suppose.<br />

It is a mecca of inspiration for me aside from reading magazines and people watching. Where do you find style inspiration?<br />

I've been noticing that my style has been refining towards clean and classic silhouettes that are not very fussy but include delicate details that add just the right amount of interest. The chronicling of my style through blogging has been an interesting adventure thus far and I'm excited to see where else it'll go.<br />

But this is the outfit that I wore for Easter over the weekend, a look definitely inspired by this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/100416266661846167/" target="_blank">pin</a>. I also must admit that I am an avid pinner on Pinterest (check out my boards, link on the right side -->) and I may just have to join pinners anonymous, if there is such a group yet. ;)<br />

I was admittedly in a sea of flowing chiffon summer dresses and the like but I opted to wear some pants, of course in a bright hue color-blocked with another to make a bold statement.<br />
