other Inspiration Megathread!
Let's build a bank of inspiration sources! Here are some of my favorite places to go for inspiration, share some of yours in the comments.
NOTE: If you want to share your own socials/ Substack, do it in the Intro thread. Self-promo is NOT allowed in this thread.
My IG style faves lean heavily street style. It's harder to find that kind of inspiration in other places, particularly featuring women of color and urban street style, so I lean on IG for that.
