Thrift Styling Hacks – Fashion Hound

Just because a garment is meant to have a traditional function, why does that mean it has to stay that way!?

One of fave thrift restyling tricks ♻️ is to

PLAY WITH DIFFERENT GENRES

By that I mean:

Sportswear meets sleepwear

Streetwear meets suiting

Day meets night

I think the contrast of things that traditionally aren’t meant to go together, going together is really cool. To add to that, try playing with the proportions of those contrasting garments, as i did in this video by layering a sleepwear piece over a sportswear singlet I also tried the sports singlet backwards to create a T-Bar effect – in my opinion this brings some really interesting unexpected details to an outfit.

ELEVATE THE EVERYDAY

No matter your size, shape or gender, accessories are a game changer for classic thrifted pieces. Try brooches on jacket labels, add a statement pair of shades or bring some Big Buckle Energy. How amazing is the vintage bamboo one I found for $20 – she’s giving serious Gucci vibes.

TRY A DRESS AS A TOP

A simple snip or tuck can completely transform a mini dress that doesn’t quite fit or isn’t your style. I absolutely loved the sleeves on this piece and for the bargain price of $10 on the discount rack I couldn’t resist – a thrifty take on Alexander McQueen me thinks. Check it out in this instagram post.

Shop the Sales, Sustainably – Fashion Hound

We all love a bargain, i do too, especially in this current economic climate. Sale season is upon us and it can be a great time to grab a bargain, yes, but i say do it mindfully. So here are 5 tips to shop the sales sustainably

1. Shop your closet

Before you set foot in any store or click add to cart, check what you have in your wardrobe first.

Could you restyle it, crop it, customise or embellish it…because the most sustainable outfit is the one you already have right there in your wardrobe. Seriously you’ll be surprised what’s possible with what you already have. Take a scroll through pinterest and create some moodboards, head to my socials for tips and tricks, read books and magazines. Inspiration is all around us

2. Write a wish list

After exploring your closet first, take 5 and jot down what you actually need or want to gift someone else. There is no point just buying a bunch of stuff because it’s cheap, be intentional about it, what will truly add value to your life or someone you love. I like to say STOP before you Shop – keeps me accountable plus i don’t waste my hard earned cash.

3. Ask questions of the brands you like to shop

Do they have a sustainability section on their website? Are they transparent with how their clothes are made? Enquire directly or use the GOOD ON YOU APP to uncover more about the brands you buy from. As consumers we have the power to vote with our fashion dollar so my suggestion is to choose brands doing good for people and the planet.

Second hand style at Salvos Stores

There are so many beautiful things to be found in second hand shops like Salvos Stores, you never have to sacrifice style plus your purchase supports local community members doing it tough.

5. Circularity is the new chic –

Thrifting aside, shop small business, vintage, rent from a store like my friend Emily at Ekoluv, have things made by a local tailor or even set up a swap party with friends.

How are you are putting more mindfulness around your shopping habits?
