A Thrifty Feature: FashionBombDaily.com

It's been a little crazy the past 2 weeks, but I did have the pleasure to attend some Spring 13 NYFW shows which was a break from the 9-5 job! One of the shows was sprung on me at the last minute, and it happened to be on the day that I decided to wear a thrifted dress, belt & earrings. Well, luckily I looked FAB & the photographers obviously liked my style too! What was even more exciting was the fact that I was featured on FashionBombDaily.com

Head on over and check out the post...and maybe one day, you might see me featured on their "Fashion Bombshell of the Day"

A little quirky and a little chic!

A true thrifter can always appreciate a quirky piece of clothing and see the potential that it holds! That's exactly what I saw in this green and white striped blazer which reminded me of several things (lollipop, gum, amongst many other things). So to balance it out, I paired it with my FAVE navy pleated skirt and threw in my other fave colors, fuchsia & yellow. And the entire outfit sans the shoes & belt, is ALL THRFITED!!!!

All Thrift Everything Challenge: Outfit #1

Hello Fashionistas!!

While my mom was visiting a few weeks back, I was told by her that I am not allowed to shop for clothes for awhile! I do have a bad addiction especially to anything from thrift and vintage stores (doesn't help that my fave Salvation Army here in NJ has 50% off Wednesdays!!!!). So I'm taking heed to her advice, and when I did a survey of my closet I realized all the great pieces (majority thrifted) that I haven't worn yet. With that said,  I'm putting myself on a challenge for the next 2 months to wear only items from my closet AND to have at least 2 or more pieces be thrifted in my outfits!

Here is my first attempt at this challenge, and the blouse & pants happen to be thrifted (a total of no more than $5 together from the Salvation Army)...sorry but the shoes & accessories aren't but I did get a great deal on them.

stay tuned for more ALL THRIFTED outfits!

One of my favorite celebs is Solange Knowles. I think that all around she has great style, along with an awesome personality! In regards to her style, I love her knack for mixing prints & colors, and just making everything look so cool & effortless. So I decided to take a little style inspiration from her and put together a work appropriate outfit!

Enjoy!
