Todays look consists of a colorfully striped sweater I bought at a thrift store probably up to 6 years ago.. It's a little crazy, but so comfy, was super cheap and very unique. I paired this with grey subtle acid wash jeans and my new black boots I received from DSW yesterday! My new Steve Madden turquoise bag matched perfectly and helped to brighten the outfit even more, along with a rhinestone chain necklace from Urban Outfitters, Marc Jacobs Watch, and beaded bracelets from a local shop in Delaware.
**Side note: Shopping at thrift stores is a great way to save money and find special pieces. Along with this sweater I've gotten all of my favorite plaid shirts from thrift stores.. I also found a beautiful beaded blouse in perfect condition at a local store last sumer which I researched to find was originally $100 and I got it for around $15. Consignment shopping is also a great way to find unique items at a fraction of the price, typically designer too! Both provide a great way to recycle clothing, so if you have time to go through your closet over the holidays, don't throw them out! You can drop them off at a local Consignment shop and hopefully make some cash (I just picked up a $100 check today!) or donate to a thrift shop (which is where I bring everything consignment stores won't take or can't sell)!
This Months Purchases:
Although I have been unable to post in the last month I did find a little time to shop & de-stress from school work.. In order to keep my spirits high I was continuously drawn to bright jewel colors of turquoise, magenta, reds and greens.
Old Navy tunics, H&M burgundy bag, similar Steve Madden tote (one pictured sold out), Urban Outfitters stud bracelet, Coconuts boots, H&M colored destressed jeans (not available online, but THE BEST jeans I now own- check out your store for them!), Nordstrom necklaces (unavailable online)
As the temperature drops so does the frequency of color in fashion. Be bold this season and embrace pops of color in a chunky necklace, bright top, colored jean or leather bag, it will make your outfit and day that much happier!
Inspirations:
A few weeks ago I got to go to a Pretty Lights concert in Philly.
It was a night full of color, dancing & fun.
Goal: Do the Color Run
