Buying a 2010s Fashion Blogger's Old Clothes

-

 


I recently purchased some very cool pieces from a 2010s fashion blogger who I follow on Instagram, @treasurextrove, so I wanted to style an outfit including 2 of the things I got from her!



Top: Forever 21 Shorts: Charlotte Russe Shoes: H&M

First, this incredibly cute top from Forever 21's Twist line. The Twist line was launched in 2009 and included several collections revolving around different fun and quirky themes: circus, Paris, and Alice in Wonderland to name a few.



This top features ruffled mesh and a bow on the front, and more ruffled mesh on the back around the zipper with a plastic bow dangling from the zipper pull. It reminded me a lot of a top I had in high school, which I bought from Forever 21 in 2013 and had a black lace bow on the front.



Even the labels on F21 Twist pieces were amazing!

I paired the top with my new navy blue polka dot shorts from Charlotte Russe, which is one of my absolute favorite brands to buy secondhand. Along with Forever 21, it's a store that I really miss shopping at in person when I was in high school. These shorts even came with a skinny belt with a red plastic bow (a theme I am sensing in this outfit) acting as a belt buckle, which looked super cute peaking out from under my top.


I finished the outfit with some accessories, and these H&M faux suede pumps! I got them recently from Vinted, but I actually had the exact same ones when I was in high school. I got rid of them a few years after graduating, but I always missed them and remembered how much I loved wearing them. So now I've decided to reunite with them years later for the low price of only $4, free shipping.


If you'd like to see the rest of the pieces I bought from treasurextrove, I already have a haul/try-on video up on my youtube channel!

    tbh, your photos looked like they were taken in the late 00s.

A Grey Day in NYC

I wanted to do a quick post about what I wore the other day when I went to New York to see a taping of Late Night With Seth Meyers. These were the only shots I was able to get of my outfit before I had to run for my bus. In this photo here I look about as moody as the weather was that day. I know most people would be upset about a cloudy 50F day in late April, but as someone who hates heat, I appreciated it. Jacket: Arizona Jean Co. Skirt:  Alexa Chung for AG Jeans Top: Jones New York Shoes: Clarks Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim I knew this would be one of my last opportunities to wear my army green jacket before it gets too hot to wear any jacket at all, and the big pockets were perfect since the bag I chose for the day couldn't hold everything I needed. This 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli mini satchel is now my favorite crossbody bag. Maybe one of my favorite bags in general, it's so cute!! Even though it had been a while since I wore my Alexa Chung for AG Jeans denim skirt, it's still o...

Going Shopping

Back at the mall, in the H&M changing room to take my mirror selfies. Since I hardly shop for brand new non-secondhand clothes anymore, I usually only leave H&M with a pair of socks or tights. But this time, I actually found a cute pair of striped pajama pants that I really loved, and they were 100% cotton. So I thought, why not? Pajamas are something I always buy new anyway. Maybe that sounds silly considering all of my outfits now are made up of secondhand clothes, but I can't really explain why pajamas are different for me. That's just how my brain works. Sweater: Alexa Chung for Madewell  Shorts: Forever 21 Leggings: Forever 21 Boots: Saint Laurent Bag: Proenza Schouler Bracelet: Valentino This sweater is so cute, I absolutely love the color. Unfortunately its is incredibly itchy! The black collared shirt I wore underneath was not just a stylistic choice, but it also acted as a barrier between my skin and the itchy material. The baby blue color paired with the...
