How Do You Use Your Imagination With Accessory Pieces?

I'm always curious when I go thrifting, how to use a piece I purchase and turn it into a not just one way to wear item. If I purchase a blouse how many ways can it be worn other than the basic way? On or off the shoulder, worn in the front or in the back. When purchasing a scarf I can wear it around my neck, maybe on my head perhaps even as a top. I'll spot a vintage chunky belt, it would be cool to wear as a necklace. The other day I found this sequined skirt that was longer than I would normally wear. Thought about cutting it but it would take away from its unique hem and design. Fortunately the waist was elasticized so I was able to pull it up toward my chest and wear it as a dress. Turned out AWESOME. So I challenge you the next time you are ready to spend your coins wherever you shop, think of way to stretch those dollars. Not only that by using your imagination you'll; find yourself wearing pieces in a way that will add dimension to your wardrobe.

Recreating A Look

Ever wonder why some people seem to just know how to dress? It appears every time you see them, their outfit for the day is on point. It seems effortless. Well, I have news for you. Even the savviest of fashionistas tend to struggle every now and then trying to find that look they will not only be satisfied with but making a statement where others will notice them. Everyone needs to be inspired. The same as when a writer gets writers block, or an artist just can't place their vision on campus or in music, whatever their muse is, they rely on people places or things for motivation and to get the creative juices flowing. Whenever I get the styling block, I refer to various social media outlets to get inspiration for my next stepping out gear. My number one favorite is Pinterest. But before I start viewing through all the model pics, I have to decide what mood is going to determine the style I wish to achieve. It could be Edgy, Trendy, Conservative or Classic Chi

My Thrifted Handbag Collection

Vintage gown with Designer Vibes

Vintage Gown with Designer Vibes This vintage piece caught my eye immediately when I spotted it hanging from the rack. It was mixed in the summer dress section. The hardware has this Versace vibe and a deep thigh split. It made me a little apprehensive but I figured I could close up the split to my comfortability. No way was I going to leave it. Besides it was half off $7.99. YES!!!Someone must have eyed it from the formal wear section and later decided they did not want it. I decided to take a chance and purchase it without even trying it on. It just looked like it would fit. Got it home and it fit like a glove. Even the split was ok without having to alter it. Oh well it was just meant for me. I wonder if the person who first spotted it later had non purchase remorse.
