When we think of fall, we think of the leaves changing colors on the trees, football season and new fall fashions like warm and cozy sweaters and scarves. But here in Iowa City, the temperature is far from feeling like fall. Our heat wave is reminding us that summer is not over yet. So, at the end of summer, I give this Fashionista props for continuing to find a new way to put together an outfit that shows it’s all in the details.
This Fashionista started with a black canvas. However, upon close inspection, she matched different textures together and added a pop of color to bring life to her look. The crochet and fringe detailing at the bottom of her shirt add dimension and flare, while her white shoes and purse add crispness to her flowy, textured outfit.
Her accessories are also to die for. They give her a worldly, sophisticated look. Â Each ring, found at thrift stores, has it’s own story to tell. I haven’t seen any rings like these since I was in Israel years ago. Her watch from Urban Outfitters has a picture of the world map. The necklace is a beautiful piece of crystal, also found at a thrift store. Finally, her awesome sunglasses add a pop of color! This Fashionista says thrifting is key to finding fun pieces like hers!
How To: Textures are your friend! This Fashionista uses textures instead of color to get her look so it’s not completely overwhelming. Adding a few signature pieces against this monochrome outfit accentuate the individual pieces. Thrifting is such a good way to find vintage pieces that are rare to come about! While this Fashionista uses thrifting to get her look, I’ve included some links throughout so you can find similar items like hers!
