The Inspiration




I'm trying to stay away from trends and rare finds from second hand stores but what can I say? Velvet is just my weakness. It's warm, its elegant, its casual, you know what? Its like 2 buck chuck, its dirt cheap and you feel kind of guilty buying it but it sure does go down easy (that's what she said).

The inspiration, Amelie from Stockholm Streetstyle pairs the darkness of Navy Velvet and the warmth of a brown leather belt perfectly. Its fancy without looking too night time. I decided to pair my thrifted look with a simple necklace I made from a handmade brass bracelet on a gold chain bought it Mexico City last winter, I wear this "necklace" almost everyday but its pretty simple and reminds me of Mexico City. 

The whole look is definitely under 10 bucks and like I said before I really want to stay away from thrift store finds because Second Hand store luck differs from person to person but I feel like velvet is so 90's that almost anyone can find something cute (if you're into that sort of thing) and velvet at Goodwill or Salvation Army. I've recently purchased some velvet leggings from Kohls which I will share in a later post...
