ROMANTIC FASHION MOOD BOARD

Since freshman year of college, I have designed several mood boards for projects and assignments. My major is fashion merchandising, so you get used to making them since they are an important step in the process of designing future seasonal collections. Mood boards are a creative way to visually show inspiration of what you like and want by creating an organized collage.

Inspired by LoveShackFancy's adorable mood boards that are displayed at each store, I decided to make one myself. I wanted to dedicate my board to my love for feminine and romantic style. Things such as gorgeous architecture in Paris, silk floral dresses, precious bows and beautiful blooms are what I adore, so they had to be incorporated in the mood board. Below I show you the process on how you can make one for yourself too!

Supplies: blank board, any color of paint (I used Behr's Rosewater for mine), your favorite images printed out, ribbon (optional) and buttons (optional).

Step 1. After gathering your supplies, paint an even coat of paint to the board. Let it dry before putting anything on it.

This the paint I used. Side note, how stunning is the name of this muted blush hue? Rosewater *heart eyes*

Here is my growing collection of pretty, vintage ribbon that can be found on Etsy. I keep it inside a cute Kate Spade storage box.

Step 2. When the board is completely dry, then you can start playing around with the images to see where you want them placed. Personally, I did not want to clutter the whole board with pictures because I still wanted to see the pink background and add the final details.

Step 3. Add pretty final touches like embellishments to the board to make it look cohesive and stand out. I decided to use vintage inspired buttons, fabric swatches and a ribbon bow to tie the theme together. Done!

What is something that inspires you when it comes to fashion? XOXO
