fashionista in training :: streamlining my winter look
As I brainstorm my winter pallette with my fashionista bestie Tezzy, I always insist that it is always less about fashion and more about style. My philosophy? It’s easy to make a $1,000 Prada sweater look good, but it takes some real flavor and style prowess to make a $7 thrift store find look FLY. Don’t get me wrong, one day, I will definitely be rockin the hell out of a Prada sweater, but for now, I’m testing my “fashionista-in-training” skills by putting together looks that combine thrift store finds, old clothes styled new again, and some new key pieces (ie. accessories, givenchy inspired necklaces, Cosby Sweateres, UNIQLO jeans, and chunky booties/sandals that btw, I need in my life- PRONTO.)
Here are some looks I emailed to Tezzy this morning, to help me streamline my winter look. The look consists of basic pieces with distinct detail (ie. black leggings that have texture; maybe even black lame’ or leatherish- very alexander wang a la fall/winter 08 collection http://www.alexanderwang.com/).
