Piperlime ads ... let's get dressed

I read a lot of magazines. As many as I can afford, though I do have my favorites. Now that I have my Nook, a lot of my magazines are on there, which is ... different, but does help to save some money. I also get a lot of magazines through Coke Rewards :)

Anyway, so I've always liked looking at advertisements in magazines. In high school, I'd rip out the ones I like and put them in my clear view binders (remember those?!). I think the ones I'd rip out the most were Ralph Lauren Romance ones.

Recently I've been loving the Piperlime ads. I remember reading the one below and instantly looking down at my t-shirt and not-gonna-lie, felt a little ashamed.

This is an older ad

Though, here in Hawaii, you don't see very many fashionistas walking around, anywhere really. There's no legit reason to wear thigh-high boots, leather jackets, UGGS, heavy vests, peacoats, etc, etc. Combine some of those fashions and you may get mistaken for a street walker! It is simply a part of the lifestyle-- everyone is much more relaxed and casual about every aspect of life and this includes fashion.

BUT. That doesn't mean that I have to wear flip-flops and Roxy t-shirts every day of the year. Which is why I love these ads!


Here are some of the newer ones..

I think these ads are genius. Marketing at its very best. They make me want to get up, go online and buy lots of beautiful clothes from Piperlime. (Or from anywhere, for that matter) They are the exact ads I need to see to kick my butt in the morning when all I want to do is throw on a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. (Which I still do, 90% of the time)

Here are some things that I would buy if I had lots of money to spend (all from Piperlime)

So tell me... what inspires you to dress up?
