#1. Magazines
Fashion magazines provide enormous amounts of inspiration as they list various brands, trends, and outfits to choose from. Regarding fashion magazines, my favorites are People Style Watch, Seventeen, Vogue, and Elle. People Style Watch and Seventeen are full of outfits worn by celebrities. Although the outfits are worn by celebrities, many of them can be worn anywhere, and there are affordable clothing stores listed to get replicas of the clothing items and sometimes the actual item. I usually look at Vogue for more elegant ensembles and Elle for dressy and casual creations.
#2. Music
I love love love music. I listen to music almost every day, I sing along, and I make up choreography. I use music as inspiration because I use the songs to create outfits. If I'm listening to a pop song that's loud and bubbly, I'll pick out clothing that's bright and colorful with some girly accessories. If I'm listening to a song that's a bit darker, I may pick out clothing that's darker or clothing of more neutral tones with some edgy accessories.

#4. Scents
I use more natural body products, but I still enjoy the smell of Bath & Body Works collections! The two lotions in the picture below are from Bath & Body Works, and they are fashion muses as well. The smaller bottle on the right may inspire me to wear all blue. The first thing that I notice on the larger bottle to the left is the word velvet. I may run with this word and get a red velvet dress and match it with some pink heels because the word velvet is red, and the lotion is pink.
