Guest Post from Shen Dove Style: A Favorite Outfit as a Room

Today's guest poster is the wonderful Shen of Shen Dove Style. I've admired her fashion sense for quite a while and even featured her in one of my earliest Pinspiration posts. I'm so excited that she agreed to cover for me while I'm on vacation! Take it away, Shen!


I’m not usually stumped when it comes to choosing outfits, but I sometimes lack inspiration when it comes to home décor. To spur some inspiration (and maybe motivation to implement some DIY home projects!), I looked to one of my favorite warm weather outfits to inform my living room décor ideas. I then looked for inspiration on Pinterest and other home décor blogs to find a room that had the same feel as my outfit. I’ve found that I like to add bright pops of color to neutral outfits, so I thought I’d look for rooms that implemented the same idea.

My current living room does not look exactly like the photo above, but some of the elements from my outfit that I really like such as the pop of orange and the black and white stripes are in the room. I find the idea of implementing a few home projects from my inspiration much less daunting now that I can use outfits to narrow down colors and themes.
