This summer season, there are many new fashion trends and a wide array of options for young women who have different styles.
The biggest movement on the runways and sidewalks is to mix vintage treasures with a new school style. Updating an old look with accessories can be done in a quick and affordable fashion.
Big glasses are key this season. They are super-trendy with black and white rims and are a quick fix to any summer ensemble.
If you wish to stand out from the crowd, you can add a unique flare by picking up some different colored shades instead of the simple black and white.
Try the hot new square frames shades, but they do not fit every face shape.
Yellows and greens are great colors for accessories this season and will accent your duds.
Dig through your mother’s or grandmother’s stash for vintage shades or hit up your local thrift store.
Do not be discouraged if you do not find a gem the first time you look because thrift stores receive new merchandise every day.
Be sure to check periodically and do not limit your search to just one thrift shop.
No only can you find sweet shades at thrift shops, but you can also score purses, shoes, beaded necklaces and bracelets. These accessories are as little as 50 cents to $5. Remember to disinfect shoes to avoid foot fungus and you may have to mend beaded necklaces because clasps are often broken.
In apparel, long shorts and long tops are in. Also, overall shorts and overall dresses have made a comeback because they are casual, playful and very comfortable.
Adding embroidered details to any piece of clothing gives it a unique touch. Even if you are not crafty, if you have cash to spend, department stores are selling items with the special touch and look of embroidery.
Short skirts are out and knee-length, flowy ones are taking their place.
Thrift stores can be a good place to find some of these items. Sizes are not always plentiful, but things be altered if the piece is worth the extra work.
One nice this thing about these stores is they sell out of season apparel, so it may be a good time to snatch next year’s winter coat for cheap.
How can a girl forget shoes? In my opinion picking the perfect pair of shoes is the most excellent way to define an outfit. I have been known to create entire outfits to center a cute pair of shoes.
Wedges are cute this season plus they give height, yet provide more stability than other heels.
The flats and mary janes are still in, and Payless has been selling shoes shockingly and suspiciously similar to ones at Urban Outfitters for less than half the price – and I am not complaining.
Thrift shopping can be a cheap and easy way to update your style for the summer or simply spice up your played out wardrobe.
