At least when it comes to fashion.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, think about it! All those layers: button-down shirts, sweaters, blazers, scarves, jackets, tights, and boots to choose from. I love it! Our weather here in Madrid is still quite warm, but the nights are cooler, and I&#8217;m gradually pulling out my warmer layers to mix them with my summer clothes. I think I&#8217;ve told you before that our Portuguese friends recommend that you &#8220;dress like an onion&#8221; for our weather, meaning wear layers so you can gradually remove the outer layers as the day gets warmer. Those of you in dry climates probably understand.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I thought it might be fun to do a series of posts about what inspires me for fashion and clothing, both for what I wear and what I design.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the first one: I recently made public my personal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/liesl\/what-to-wear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What to Wear Pinterest board.<\/a> If I need a little inspiration or motivation for the day I just pull out my iPad, find the board, and scroll until something catches my fancy. I add photos to this board if they remind me of something I already own or give me new ideas how to combine different items in my closet. You might get some ideas from this board as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72784 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4-760x797.jpg\" alt=\"some of Liesl's What to Wear Pinterest board\" width=\"760\" height=\"797\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4-760x797.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4-500x524.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4-768x805.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-4-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, so much of my closet is clothing that I&#8217;ve had for close to 20 years. S and I were talking about it the other day and she told me I need new clothes if mine are so old, but I strongly disagree! My clothing are like old friends to me, and they&#8217;re classic enough pieces that they don&#8217;t go out of style. I just find new ways to wear them, adding or subtracting a piece now and then.<\/p>\n<p>So here are a few photos from my board that are inspiring me right now. Maybe you&#8217;ll find something to inspire you as well? Or maybe you&#8217;ll be inspired to make your own board if you haven&#8217;t already.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a former Ralph Lauren girl, I love the tailored, preppy look at Celine and Bottega Veneta this season.
