I’ve recently gotten back into Pinterest (you can follow me here!) after a several year hiatus, and one of my favorite things to pin are inspirational quotes. Revolutionary, I know. But, like basically all things in my life, I like my quotes to have a fashion-related twist, so I wanted to share my favorite style sayings with you today. Get inspired, throw on a gorgeous outfit, and remember that you can never be overdressed!
“Elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered.”
-Giorgio Armani
“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
-Coco Chanel
“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
-Oscar Wilde
“Style is not a display of wealth but an expression of imagination.”
-Unknown
“Keep your heels, head, and standards high.”
-Coco Chanel
“You can have anything you want, if you dress for it.”
-Edith Head
“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.”
-Coco Chanel
“Your clothes should be tight enough to show you’re a woman, but loose enough to show you’re a lady.”
-Marilyn Monroe
“Bad vibes don’t go with my outfit.”
-Unknown
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”
-Coco Chanel
Which of these quotes is your favorite?! I thought this pretty sundress would be the perfect companion for all of these sayings about elegance and being overdressed, and you may recognize the dress as one of my incredible $1 finds in my thrift shopping haul blog post. I paired the sundress with a pastel pink purse and my favorite white heeled sandals for a light and summery look. My lipstick is actually a pink shade, although it looks more red in these photos. Combined with my retro hairstyle, this look ended up having quite the 50s housewife vibe! Not what I had intended (it was a bad hair day, and this style was the best I could do), but I suppose the retro outfit is pretty as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you have a wonderful Thursday and weekend! Oh, and can you spot the creepy photo-bombing face in one of these pics?
Miles of smiles,
Grace

Thanks so much, Mireille! Haha yes, once I finished taking my photos, my mom said, “Can you see me in any of them?!” Haha.
Great collection of beautiful quotes, Grace! I love your summer dress too, it’s so girly. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day. Any news about going to Scotland or that’s definitely out of the question? Aiva 😊
Thanks so much, Aiva! And sadly, my study abroad program in Scotland was cancelled… 🙁 I’m so, so bummed. But hopefully I’ll be able to study there the fall of my senior year, instead. Thanks for asking!
You look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit, Grace, you have such a beautiful smile! I have never thought to pin quotes on Pinterest but they’ve been so fun to read! I totally you can never be overdressed! Happy weekend, lovely.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Katerina! Hope you’re having a great day. 🙂
Grace, what a fabulous thrift find in this amazing dress! You look so beautiful. And I do see the face in the door window! Hahahaha. My fave quote here is “Bad vibes don’t go with my outfit.” Thanks for linking up!
