We all know how much I love thrifting. It's actually become more of a lifestyle than a hobby, because I find myself wanting to go to a thrift store way more than I want to go to a department store. Which got my thinking, I haven't done a thrift challenge in a while. So I messaged my friend Danya to do a thrift challenge and a photo session to see how we would style one another with a thrifted outfit.
We each picked out an outfit (minus pants because it's impossible to buy jeans for yourself let alone someone else) and styled it with accessories that were also thrifted. Then we went to Old Town Falls Church to photograph our outfits! I honestly loved both of our outfits so much! Although I wasn't thinking about the weather when I bought Danya's outfit, just that it looked cool (sorry about that D) š.
I wanted to give Danya a more edgy look–something she wouldn't normally buy herself–so I headed straight to the men's section for a large t-shirt that could be turned into a t-shirt dress. I was thinking that with tights and her Doc Marten boots would be a serious LEWK. Except my t-shirt selection was crap that day, so I went for a basic gray t-shirt and decked it out with accessories. I found this black and silver belt that would go around her waist so it wasn't just a baggy t-shirt, but gave it more dimensions and then I saw this purse that just topped off the whole look for me. This mini-bag is black with snake like print on it, and it's such a weird shape, but in a good way. It's long and skinny and the silver chain tied the whole look together. I love the way this look came together and it's definitely out of Danya's comfort zone, which was the whole point.
When Danya was shopping for me she too wanted something a little different for me and she found this amazing green corduroy jacket and worked the rest of the outfit around that. She also found a belt and paired the jacket with a plain black turtleneck. I freaking loved this look. You really can't go wrong with a plain top and adding a pop of color in the accessories and jackets always gives the "basic" piece a whole new look.
We only spent about an hour in the thrift store and probably spent about $15 on each other—so how did we do?
