ALL IN THE DETAILS: For The Love Of Thrifting

February 20th, 2017 at 2:00am

Dressing “cute” for class is hard, especially when class begins at eight o’ clock in the morning. I spotted this Fashionista in class and had to know what was her inspiration for this unique stylish ensemble. Considering herself an avid thrift shopper, she found this dress at one of her favorite thrift stores. In disbelief, I had to know more. Many people tend to look at the thrift store as a place where people send unfashionable clothes. Whether, it be clothes and shoes no longer in style, to forgotten outfits with tags still attached. Fashion always repeats itself and she uses a clever way to reinvent an item meant for one purpose into a wearable outfit.

This Fashionista is taking pajamas to a new level. She is wearing a floral long sleeved, midi length, button down night shirt. I love this night shirt for its details. The multiple colored flowers throughout the shirt allows for the Fashionista to have variety in playing with many colored accessories. The floral night shirt is not only aesthetically pleasing, but appropriate with the lingerie trend that we have been seeing on various celebrities. This is more of a modest approach to wear out to school or out to lunch with friends and still be chic. Also, she does not disappoint when it comes to accessorizing this outfit.

A shoe can make for a statement piece easily if done right. Here this Fashionista did just that as she paired blue suede knee high boots with her outfit. The lace up details on the back of the blue suede boots makes for a dressier look to a simple boot. The heel size is a comfortable height for wearing all day if needed. This Fashionista is not done yet, with making this outfit pop literally from head to toe. She paired these fun fuzzy balled earrings with a touch of diamond accents to her look. To finish the night shirt off she tied a velour peach colored scarf into a belt. This adds a feminine silhouette to a plain night shirt. To finish this look off she wears natural makeup with a nude lip and a fierce cat eye. Her hair is styled in flirty, fun curls.

I hope this look gives you Fashionista’s a new outlook on thrift shopping. It is a bargain way of shopping that can make anyone look like a fortune in just one outfit.
