When and why did you start thrift shopping?
I began thrifting for clothing in high school. was obsessed with the styles, cuts/designs, sizing, textures, and colors of older clothes. I express myself through the art of style. Also, I believe the quality in clothing has declined & all of the same clothes are being sold. Why pay more for recycled designs in-store, when I can pay less for originality?
What three words would you use to describe your style?
Simple. Conservative. Vintage.
How did you style your outfits?
Red Jumpsuit {above}: I combined a vintage red jumpsuit, with a modern gold-plated belt. I am obsessed ITALICS with pearls and I wear them with anything, hence the cluster-pearl ring and pearl earrings. Never be afraid of costume jewelry! I wrapped my hair in classic leopard to add a print, along with pink suede heels. Red and pink are beautiful together. Thrifted Dooney & Bourke bags are my thing- this Dooney was my grandmother’s bag that she finally gave to me.
