I love the idea of high/low fashion - where you pair something pricey with something not so expensive.That's what I did for church today. I paired a $165 skirt, that I snagged for $79.99 from Anthropologie, with a $6.99 T-shirt from Target. My shoes were $90 from Aldo and the pearls, about $7, from Forever 21 - clearly, they are not from the sea.
Just because you spend an arm and a leg on one article of clothing, doesn't mean you have to pair it with another piece that's just as expensive. According to a New York Post article, some tips to work high/low fashion include:
- Buy from Ebay, vintage and thrift stores.
- Educate yourself about fabrics, so you can intelligently buy cheaply-priced fabrics that have the look and feel of expensive ones.
- Spend your money wisely - no need to pay $100 for a cotton T-shirt, when you can get it for $9.99.
- Accessorize, accessorize and then accessorize some more. A great bag can elevate the cheapest outfit!
What's your favorite high/low outfit?
