UNIF Trench Boots

Couldn't wait to wear these UNIF high trench boots after I received them for Christmas. I love that they make me taller without being heels. They're definitely eye catchers! Here I paired them with one of my favorite pairs of leggings that I found at a local beauty surplus store for only $14. They feature the names of fashion capitals around the world.

Leather and Lace

I love this oversized sweater I found recently at my local thrift store. It's really versatile and can be dressed up or down. I really enjoy the contrast created here by pairing it with edgy leather pieces. 

Thrifting tips to achieve this look: Make sure to check ALL sections when thrifting. Oversized sweaters and shirts can be paired with tights and worn as dresses.

It's a Plaid Plaid Plaid Plaid World

Big Trend for Fall: Plaid. I usually wear this plaid skirt in an "edgier" way but today I challenged myself to make it more girly. So I inspired this outfit by the classic school girl look by pairing it with a white blouse that I got thrifting and a blazer from H&M. (Unfortunately it was way too cold to take pictures in just the blazer.) To make the look more personalized, I added a red necklace and earrings and a leather jacket.

London Dungeon

A classic look: skinny jeans and a leather jacket. Change it up by adding patterned pants, like these striped ones from UrbanOG. I love these because I have a slight [huge] obsession with Beetlejuice. I paired this "London" t-shirt with it to balance the white and the black and complete the look.

Thrifted Shirt to Stylish Dress

Don't be afraid to picture things in a new way while thrifting. I gave this over sized shirt a new life by wearing it as a loose fitted dress. I love how the black detailing starts at the waist making it easy to streamline my legs by pairing it with black tights and black leather ankle boots. I amped up the look by adding matching red lipstick and my favorite hat.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Purchases

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and took advantage of some rad sales! Here are my online purchases for Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

 
Black and white is my favorite color combination. And I love the 60s mod vibe of this wool coat. And I got it for only $22!



I'm also really obsessed with eyes on clothing and patterned sweaters so when I saw this one I had to have it. $24


How crazy are these boots? I've been looking for shoes like this, that add height without being heels, and when I saw these were finally on sale I took up the opportunity. They originally were $208 but I got 25% for spending over $150.



  

I've been looking at the Singapore brand Depression's line of Transformer shoes since they came out. The line is extremely unique with some of the shoes having detachable bows or studded lace covers. These shoes were originally $170 and I got them for $65!
