With the new school year quickly approaching (or already here for many of us), I’ve started thinking about the goals I want to accomplish this year. Among them, I want to start wearing heels more often and put more effort into my going-to-class look. One of the ways that I’m going to accomplish these goals is by collecting inspirational photos to display, so I’m constantly surrounded by the fashionable women I want to emulate.

A few months ago, Kristina wrote an article about creating a fashion vision board and today I’m going to expand on that, and show you how to make a binder full of fashion ideas as well as a fashion inspiration board! Plus, I’ve included a few extra tips that will keep you inspired for months to come.

Making Your Fashion Binder

Do you ever have those days where you have no idea what to wear, but you know that you want to look fabulous? When those brain freezes happen to me, I always pull out my trusty fashion binder, and voila! Instant outfit inspiration!

Making a fashion binder is one of the easiest and best things you can do to improve your style. All you need is a binder and lots of clear sleeves to put photos in. I pull out anything from a magazine that catches my eye, even photos where I just like the model’s hair. And then on those days where I feel like everything in my closet is absolutely wrong, I flip through the photos until I find just the right outfit for the day.

You don’t need to buy magazines to make one of these, though – you can also do this by printing out fashion photos from the internet and sticking them in the binder! It’s totally customizable and up to you: Who and what inspires you most?
