R O S E - P E R I O D

It's a rare occurrence when I choose to dawn anything other than neutrals or black and white. Although jewel tones might not be considered that risky, red has always been 'my color', or so at least I've been told. I managed to thrift the entirety of this look and all at separate times, a major feat on its own. Jumping on the very nineties-esque choker trend, I managed to create a matching choker with leftover fabric from the top piece. Cheers to the current Texas weather that allows me to wear pants in the summer.

After debating saving up and purchasing some brand new Adidas Originals, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a pair of slightly used, slightly large, but too good to pass up vintage Superstar's at a local thrift shop back home. It's always a good day when I thrift a coveted pair of sneakers (mostly from the boy's section) for less than half of the original cost. Maybe one of these days I'll start purchasing new pairs of sneakers, but for now I'm stuck with a limited perpetually broke college student budget and a whole lot of luck at resale stores. For this look I wanted to incorporate the wide-leg pant trend that's grazed man a runway at fall fashion week and keep the silhouette simple and flowy with an off the shoulder blouse, my modern take on a classic 70's-chic look.
