Incorporating pieces into your wardrobe from previous decades can be fun and challenging. Whether you are thrift shopping or raiding your mom’s closet, there is always a possibility of striking gold. This Fashionista stole a biker jacket from her aunt’s closet and is so glad she did. She is rocking her aunt’s style from the ’80s with a ’90s grunge feel. Now she will always have a unique piece to throw on that makes her stand out.
Sometimes buying a brand new garment can be a bad thing! The fact that the jacket is used actually works in her favor. The leather is very worn which makes it more comfortable. The material is soft and easier to move in. This piece gives her outfit character. The jacket also has small details like uniquely placed buttons, zippers and straps. This makes the jacket even more different than any other you would find in a store.
This confident Fashionista pulls off the risky leather jacket by wearing it with classic pieces. Her jacket is edgy and crazy while the scarf, shirt and jeans are simple. Even though the jacket is from the ’80s, she looks very modern. Her infinity scarf gives a soft trendy touch to the outfit, and her Dr. Martens make the outfit fresh. This type of shoe is a stylish alternative to the typical winter boot and is perfect for snow and ice. This Fashionista knows how to dress realistically for the winter elements but still stay unique.
