My As Inspired By… posts usually feature bloggers – I’m hugely inspired by the style and creativity of my fellow bloggers, and they shape my wardrobe daily. However, I also love street style. I’m often guilty of openly staring at people I find intriguing (something the Mr tells me off for constantly), noting the way they put pieces together. Models don’t do it for me – it’s all about real people.
After a girls’ night out in Nottingham on Friday, my friends and I dropped in at a local pub for a hangover-busting breakfast. With tired eyes and serious bed head, I wasn’t expecting inspiration to strike, but behind the bar one girl’s style caught my eye. A simple striped tunic, paired with a loose-fitting blazer, leggings and Chelsea boots. Perfect for lazy days spent chilling with friends (and working the Saturday morning shift at a pub, obviously).
Who’s inspiring you today?
great outfit, love the boots 🙂 xx
Soon as i saw these pics i thought of What Katie Wore! 😀
I wore a really similar outfit yesterday, i wasn’t sure on it but seeing it on you makes me like it a lot more. Loving the boots. xo
Like the jacket. Looks like the lapels are a contrasting fabric. I love that.
great post, im a bit of a people watcher too
street style is the best xx
I love this style!! I bought a dress like this in H&M the other day and I never thought to wear it with a blazer… i’ve just been wearing it with cardigans. Love it! xx
That blazer is gorgeous! xo
I love how inspiration can come from sometime when your not expecting it! I always seem to try and take in how someone is wearing something, and try to take a mental note. 🙂 xx
WHat a great sunday outfit! Also, I know I’ve said it before but I really really love your haircut on you! It just looks fab in these photos!

Great outfit, I agree!!
I really need to get a proper blazer, they’re so versatile, but I find it so hard to get one to fit just right.
You look great! I love the way you interpret other peoples’ styles and make them your own 🙂

You look great Jen! I was admiring many of the outfits on show at the vintage fair yesterday but trying to recreate them would involve me buying a new wardrobe so it’s not an option just yet!
I’m loving your hair at the mo! Great idea though, I totally steal people’s style all the time…
love this look xxx
I love how you were inspired by someone who will probably never know they had inspired someone that day at work. The boots and blazer work perfectly and the stripes add a lovely contrast x
you have such a lovely blog and i love the way you dress!
i love that necklace! i’ve seen it on ellie goulding as well, i want! 🙂
Love the boots. Sometimes simple is best!
It’s nice to see a blogger from Nottingham. I have recently moved back after living in London for three years and its great to see some cool outfits here!
Love the boots!
It’s a look that really suits you, Jen.
I wonder if the girl who inspired you is a fellow blogster? She’d be most flattered. xxx
