Today’s Everyday Fashion: Hallmark Signature Inspired

Hallmark Signature inspired

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Hallmark through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Hallmark Signature, all opinions are my own.

I gather style inspiration from many places: magazines, catalogs, and mannequins. But I never realized how inspiring a greeting card could be until I was issued a challenge to create an outfit inspired by Hallmark Signature.

With assignment in hand, I headed to my local Hallmark store and asked them to point me towards the Signature section. I was instantly impressed, because the cards are gorgeous! Many come with little “extras” like a removable plush owl, a hair pin (to really use in your hair), or an easel that can be placed as a knickknack on a shelf. It’s a great resource - you get a greeting card and a little gift for under $10, yes please!

I was instantly drawn to this piñata card to use as my style inspiration. The inside says, “Hope your day is filled with MUCHO fun!” so as a greeting card it works for many different occasions. (Although it’s so adorable I’m going to have a hard time giving it away.) It reminded me of many favorite items in my closet, and I love the fun colors. I pulled out this rainbow stripe dress to wear for the day, and accessorized with a turquoise necklaces, yellow purse and coral shoes. With the greeting card in hand I felt like I was headed to a fun party!

I was so inspired by this project, that I put together two additional looks with Hallmark Signature cards. This first card has removable bow clips. The gold bows come off the card and you can use them in your hair, on shoes or a clutch. I think my friend with a little girl will be the perfect person to give this card to – she’ll love playing with the bows.
