Well I just got home from my 3rd television performance and I'm feeling good! It went really well but I'm just glad it's over! In case you don't know, I have the privileged of being on our local channel Fox 28 every 4th Monday to talk about my thrift store finds! It's a little nerve wracking but a lot of fun!
This month I did Runway looks for less and you will not believe how cheap these outfits are that I put together especially considering that designer clothes cost so much!
The Lace Trend
-seen on the runways of Valentino, Carolina Herrera, Max Azria, and Donna Karan
- keep it neutral and sophisticated
-try mixing 2 different types of lace together
Here is the runway look from Valentino:
Here I am in my version of the look:
Jacket: Goodwill $3.99
Skirt: Volunteers of America $3
Shoes: Colin Stuart via Goodwill $3.99
Total: $11
The Polka Dot Trend
-Polka dots have never really been out but they are especially hot right now thanks to the runways of Moschino, Marc Jacobs, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Oscar De La Renta.
-Keep the look fun and playful
-black and white are great but also try primary colors- red, blue, and yellow
