"Music and Fashion"

It's Monday which means it's back to school or the office for most of us. To cheer you up on your break, we've got a unique fashion post for you today. Our guest blogger Ashlyn runs a blog highlighting her love of style and photography. Today, she's not only provided a fabulous celebrity to real life styling, but also shows us how music can be extremely inspirational when it comes to fashion.

Whether you are supporting your favorite band by wearing their name on a tee shirt or are inspired by the way your favorite musician styles herself on the stage, music can have a profound impact on fashion. Listening to a favorite song can conjure up either certain memories that are associated with outfits or feelings that you can easily turn into an outfit. Another easy way to get inspired by music when you are getting dressed is to look at outfits from some of your favorite artists. 

For instance, one of my all time favorite female singers is Florence Welch (Florence + The Machine). Not only am I constantly amazed by the power in her voice, but her personal style is spot on. What I find most interesting about artists is when their music tends to match up with how I expect them to dress. I'm sure that you guys will appreciate her style just as much as I do upon seeing the examples below!

     From her shock of red hair to her propensity for lacy dresses, I'm constantly impressed. But when I'm not wanting to directly interpret an artist's style, I have found the best way to get inspired by music is to listen to particular songs and make outfits from how those songs make you feel! For this reason, I've compiled some songs that will definitely be on repeat for me this spring and even gathered some things that I think match the mood.

1. Tea Party Dress in Coral, Frock Stock

2. Covet eco-friendly Shorts, Ruche

3. Roman Vamp shoe, Zara

4. Sky & Sand bikini, Anthropologie

5. Oversize trench, Chicwish

6. Chelsea Crew Liza buckle boots, Ruche

      For me, this playlist made me think of floating through sun soaked spring days, and I feel like my choices match that. But the beauty of getting inspired by music is that each person sees a different thing, making it a truly unique fashion experience.

This post is SO fascinating. I myself have a degree in singing opera which brings no surprise to me that I have a love for everything vintage - funny how musicians dress like their style. I also love the idea of playing music while getting dressed to help inspire your outfit that day!

Does anyone else find inspiration in music for their fashion? Leave Ashlyn some comments if you loved her post! Comments = free jewelry!
