Thrifting Tips

Image
Why I stopped buying trendy pieces.. If you have been here a while you probably already know that I have been thrifting my clothes for the past 2 years.  It has helped me find my own style and my own voice when it comes to the pieces I wear.  I am not saying I will never wear what is trendy, but I will def be looking for those trends second hand. Here are a few tips I use before heading to the thrift stores... Make a thrift wish list.    For the longest time I had on my list an oversized quilted jacket/coat and I just recently found one that was in prefect condition. I was so happy!! Also found a pair of Levi's ribcage flares I can't wait to wear them. Having a list helps you when choosing what to bring home. Have an open mind. Not every piece you find will be the exact match, but having an opened mind and a good tailor always helps.    Do not worry about sizing. If you don't already know, a vintage 8 it is not a modern 8 per say.  I buy whatever fits ...

When the 80's come back.... I have to be honest 80's fashion is not my favorite, but I couldn't resist this vintage jumpsuit.  I went all 80's pairing it with pink boots to keep the colors going.  What is your favorite fashion era? xo, Yaudy Cristina *Vintage jumpsuit and bag*  

My Holiday List

The holidays are here!! Here are some things I plan to do from here until January first: Visit the Rockefeller tree (one more time) I went two weeks ago Make a ginger bread house (with my Godson) See a Christmas show Watch Miracle on 34Th Street (as I never watched it) Try to schedule time to see some loved ones  Take time for myself... Holidays always feel rushed and as wonderful as this time is, it could get very stressful. It is important to remember to take a breather and just enjoy! Hopefully this inspires you to create your own list! xo, Yaudy Cristina *whole outfit here is thrifted*
