The ballet has long inspired fashion trends: ballet slippers, leotards, tutus! Personally, I have always found the ballerina pictures by Edgar Degas to be visually inspiring:

There is just something about the white dresses, with the pop of colour in the sashes, and the tied slippers about the ankles. It’s all so pretty and simple! When I came across these ankle strap ballet inspired flats from Freya, I immediately fell in love with their ballet inspiration- with almost a punk rock flare.

I know I will style them in many ways, but for this look I wanted to mimic the soft white look of the Degas ballerina. This lace Zara LWD fit the bill! I cannot express how many ways your can wear a LWD and I’ve linked some of my current favs below.

What gives you outfit inspiration? I’d love to know! I hope you each have a fantastic weekend full of laughter and love.

    This look is precious from head to toe! I love the LWD – Zara is good for those. You definitely look like a ballerina/princess with your hair in the bun and those flats. Happy Monday!

    I’m loving your LWD, Kait, as well as those ultra chic sunnies, girl, you look AMAZING in them! Those flats are also really cute and unique with the ties and buckles, they add a slight edge with a feminine feel to an outfit! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a very happy Friday so far!
