Thrift Shopping

One of the best place to look for fashionable and unique clothes are thrift shops (Thrust me on this!) and for sure a lot of fashionistas out there knew this. Ever since, I always go thrift shopping especially when they marked their price super low (I take advantage of it haha).

Thrift shops offer a lot of stuff like bags, shoes, clothes, etc. and at sometimes you can even score high end brands, all you need is a lot of patience and courage to search all racks, and a very sharp eyes in checking for any damage.

The world is physically judgmental. It is important to always look good, clean and presentable at any situation because as they say "Our physical appearance reflects on who we are.", which for me is true. Some may say "Dont judge a book by it's cover." But I think a good book is better with a great cover...right?

A'S 10 Fashion Rules

1.      KNOW YOUR YOURSELF, KNOW YOUR STYLE.

Knowing your own personal style will start by knowing yourself. Because your style depends on what things you like most, your favourites,  who do you hang out with, where do you hang out, what interest you most, your attitude, your skills and of course whose your fashion inspiration.

2.      FOLLOW YOUR STYLE.

After knowing who you are and what’s your style. Now you need to focus on creating looks by your own style, for example based on your self-evaluation you’ll come up being a person who is playful yet you’re a bookworm and someone who loves hanging out at coffee shop so your look should be colourful but not too bright and not too revealing.Another example is if you are fascinated with vintage stuffs and you love to party and hang out on clubs your best look would be something retro-disco from the 80’s and you’ll probably into metallic, sparkly and neon colored clothes.

3.      CONSIDER EVERYTHING.

In putting up an outfit there are a lot of things to consider:

i)        The fabric – there are different of kinds of fabric; heavy, light, flowy, etc.

ii)      The colour –the colours of your outfit should always complement each other as well as your skin tone.

iii)    The design – clothes with weird designs are somehow awesome but not all the time it depends on what, where and when you’ll going to wear it.

iv)    The temperature – of course this is essential to consider unless you want to look like a loser wearing a jacket on a hot sunny day.

v)      The place – A real fashionista know what, where and when to wear things. Always put in mind that being a fashionista is not always about wearing the nicest clothes but more of wearing the appropriate clothes for the place or event.

vi)    The people – being different from everyone is awesome but always consider who you’ll be hanging out with because you might look like a loser or a “wanna be” if wear something in appropriate.
