Who are you wearing? How much did it cost? What favors are you calling in? Think: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something bought resale. Prepare yourself for some major fashion inspiration.
Ashley of aka Best Dressed
This recent UCLA film grad has a passion for vintage fashion. “Sustainability is something that I’m really passionate about and that I’m trying to incorporate more into my wardrobe, but I also recognize that it’s such an elitist issue to ask somebody to pay $200 for a sustainably made Reformation dress,” Ashley said. “I know buying sustainable can be really expensive, so that is why I love thrift shopping.”
The YouTuber donned a thrifted white slip dress featuring a fitted lace bodice. Over the slip, she also showed off another thrift store gem: a black denim jacket with embroidery on the back.
“The big things that I splurge on are basics and things that need structural integrity,” Ashley said. “So, that would be shoes and jeans.”
She stepped out in a pair of Reformation’s Becca Suede Ankle Boots (at $600, it’s the most expensive piece in Ashley’s fit). She finished the look off with layered necklaces by Vanessa Mooney and Melody Eshani and self-designed earrings. A black fanny pack by Brandon Blackwood also made the cut.
OUTFIT TOTAL: $1,093
Kelsey Simone
Fashion, beauty and lifestyle YouTuber Kelsey Simone has a sense of style that’s European-inspired and relies on vintage pieces to get the job done. “I probably wear more vintage pieces than I do anything else,” Simone said.
Her vintage Chanel kitten heels would fit right in on the pavements of Paris. She paired the sophisticated shoes with a pair of Chloé slacks, featuring a horse decal on the side, which she purchased at a vintage store. For her top, Simone opted for a simple white sweater, which she says is a more relaxed piece compared to her bold pants.
To accessorize, she stacked gold rings from Argento Vivo and wore her trusty J’ADIOR studs. She also towed along a vintage black handbag.
OUTFIT TOTAL: $1,195
Sai De Silva
Blogger Sai De Silva describes her style as a toss between “feminine” and “tomboy chic.”
In this episode, De Silva rocked a vintage white yoke skirt, which she purchased from the Brooklyn Flea Market. The skirt’s pockets and buttons make it a conveniently chic vintage piece that you can dress up or down. She also sported an old school Brooks Brothers men’s button down shirt, which was altered to have a frayed hem and a light tie-dye pattern. “You know what? I thought I was gonna be the only one to like it,” De Silva said of her funky shirt. “But, lo and behold, tie-dye is back, baby.”
For shoes, De Silva opted for a clean pair of Supergas. “I’m a mom on the go,” she said. “I care about what I look like. I always come back to Supergas because they’re comfortable and, I mean, they can really jazz up a look.”
The YouTuber accessorized with a white, wallet on chain bag by YSL, chunky golden necklaces, a vintage Rolex watch, and black diamond rings. She also showed off a pair of black shades with gold rimming, which she also purchased secondhand. “Gold frames go with everything,” she said. “And hello? You look chic while you’re in the sun.”
OUTFIT TOTAL: $7,045
