| “O” Magazine Thrift Shop Challenge ~ Maxi Skirt is $895.00 Retail vs $6.99 Thrift Store Style |
Once again, Jen and I are pushing
ourselves to recreate looks from “O” MAGAZINE at a local Goodwill store. We printed up several looks and set out for one of our hardest
challenges yet!
We found this MAXI SKIRT for only $6.99 (plus at this price you can afford to throw in the chartreuse blouse priced at only $4.99)!
- Wearing a maxi for day is a very fashion-forward look. But the skirt needs to be long enough—it should be no shorter than half an inch from the bottom of your shoe. How to Wear It: Choose a style that is streamlined but has some movement, and pair it with knits and booties or menswear-inspired flats. If You’re Short: It may seem counterintuitive, but a long skirt can make you look taller. Make sure the hem of your top doesn’t hit much lower than your natural waistline. If You’re Tall: Experiment with layered tops, like a sweater and vest or loose, diaphanous tees. What to Avoid: Pointy stilettos, knee-high boots, or anything too dressy. “Rugged shoe styles are fresher,”. Sweater, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, $325. Blouse, Marciano, $168. Skirt, Moschino, $895. Belt, Longchamp.
