As
a kid, I would carefully prepare outfits mirroring colors throughout. I was
very “matchy matchy.” Black shoes, purple tights, black skirt, purple top,
black hair bow- yeah, that intense. Over time, my sense of fashion pairings has
evolved, but I still love putting together outfits based on color. I pulled
this blouse out and quickly selected the black skirt and red shoes to match the
stripes in the top. Visually, I think the solid neutral bottom is a good
balance to the visually stimulating top.
It’s
been a while since I posted an outfit entirely from thrift store finds. This is
generally a challenge because of shoes which is probably one of the items the
general population would feel weird buying second hand. Honestly, I’m not a
germaphobic person. My real thought is “Do I want to own suede shoes that are
preppy and amazing and would retail for around $90 or not?”
For
six bucks, I purchased what are easily the nicest shoes I own (okay, maybe my
UGGs are really the nicest). The quality is high (good materials) and the signs
of wear were minimal, which is hard to find with second hand shoes. These were
clearly taken care of. If you’ve ever owned something suede, you know how even
a light drizzle can ruin it.
