Find fashion inspiration in What2Wear and Charlotte's Best Dressed slideshows

I've just launched two new slideshows that I hope will inspire others to learn from stylish Charlotteans. Both appear each week at www.charlotteobserver.com/style.

Each Monday, the Charlotte's Best Dressed slideshow showcases chic partygoers taken from photos that ran the previous week on the Scene & Heard slideshows.

The What2Wear slideshow, also posted on Mondays, is a quick look at what people are wearing to a certain type of event. It's in its second week now. The first installment showed what people wore to a Summer Pops concert. The newest edition shows what guests wore to an after-work party hosted by OK! magazine and Wella Professionals at the Spa at Ballantyne.

Whether it's a hairdo, an accessory, a color combination or a whole outfit - the photos are filled with ideas that you can steal and adapt to your own style. Think of it as online people watching.

One of my favorites from the OK! magazine party is of guest Yiani Papanikas. I loved his outfit - especially his Kelly green shirt. But it was the antique cigarette case he uses as a business card holder that really sent me to style heaven. (I posted a photo at the top of this blog so you can see what I'm talking about.)

So look and learn along with me online each week.
