Fashion and Interior Design~

I have mentioned before that I received my college degree in Fashion.  And, of course, I have loved interior design since I was a little girl.  One of the things that I find fascinating is the way the two work together.  I love to watch the trends that flow easily from fashion to interior design and back again.  In fact, in my own work, at least, I have a difficult time completely separating one from the other. 

I feel that looking in a person's closet is a good indicator as to how they would decorate their home.  In fact, I have a series here on the blog that I call "If This Outfit Were a Room" where I pull outfits from catalogs or websites and use them as inspiration for decorating moodboards.

Here are a couple of examples...

Then last week when I was browsing on Pinterest - ah, Pinterest, where would I be without you? - I found these great pins from the Alice Lane blog.  (Love Alice Lane!)  In these, an outfit is pictured, and then a room(s) where the color combinations are similar.

Fascinating, isn't it?

And so, my dear readers,  just for fun...take a look inside your closet today and see if it you can find similarities between what you wear and how you decorate.  It just may surprise you!

Have a great day~
