Wardrobe remix…Remixed!
Jackie has champagne tastes on a student budget. That’s why she keeps a close eye on celebrity trends, then scours fast fashion outlets to recreate the look for less.
One of my favorite spots for fashion inspiration is a Flickr group entitled Wardrobe Remix. Regular girls and guys can submit head-to-toe shots of their outfits and then fashion voyeurs, such as myself, can partake in the thousands of great real-life looks.
I recently found two looks I really liked and decided to recreate their outfits for as cheap a price point as possible.
First, I found a photo of night.owl, whose outfit was quite basic but had a fun pop of color.
- Start out with a basic white dress, as night.owl did. I chose one that’s a bit more full in the skirt, which is more universally flattering.
- I love the edgy jacket that night.owl is sporting. The dark charcoal gray also adds a modern, casual feel to the dress. Try this one by Forever 21.
- Gray shoes are harder to find in the summer, but come fall/winter they should be much more plentiful. For now, try this pair.
- Red tights completely made night.owl’s outfit. They added a punchy color and a quirky element that really stood out to me.
Next, I loved the romanticism of Moda-R’s outfit.
- The slightly hippie print and feel of Moda-R’s dress is well-replicated in this green version by Forever 21.
- A cardigan makes this outfit work-appropriate, but also gives it a more vintage, 50’s feel.
- Metallic sandals will go with almost everything and they’ve got a laid-back, summery vibe.
- Finish off the outfit with a waist-cinching belt.
