Once we arrived Tuesday, I began to plan my outfits for the week. In going through my unnecessary amount of bags, I realize that I am missing all of the brand new clothes I had hoped would turn heads at the events. I managed to put together an appropriate outfit that Tuesday, because being a photographer I didn't feel the need to be overly dressed.
The next day I suggested that we go to the Goodwill in Buckhead. I figured, being Buckhead, I would find tons of name brands and high quality clothes that were "last season" to that community, but that I could still make look fabulous. On the way back we stopped at a consignment shop, where I scored a Juicy Couture Dress and Nine West shoes, all for around 40 dollars.
I used this as a test, seeing as how I want to be a stylist. And I have to say, I think I did a pretty good Job!
Tuesday night (Welcome Mixer at Bottle Bar Buckhead), before the impromptu shopping trip I sported black skinny jeans from Tjmaxx (19.99), a tucked in neon v-neck from Forever21(4.99), B&W striped blazer from Tjmaxx (19.99), and a pair of brown leather, glittery oxfords from Century21(35.00).
Wednesday (Fashion Shows at Hotel Indigo): Black A-line Juicy Couture (25$) dress and Nine West shoes (25$) from Alexis' Suitcase
Thursday: Green Maxi dress from Goodwill at Buckhead
Friday (Celebrity Fashion Shows 200 Peachtree): Ann Taylor navy slacks, Calvin Klein white button down, Maroon and Navy suspenders (1$), Paisley tie (1$), Over sized leopard glasses from Urban Outfitters (14$)
So overall, I feel pretty successful in creating a few perfect looks for Fashion Week despite leaving all of my clothes at home! The next post will cover all of the people I met, and designs I saw and loved.-MadisonGeorgiaLee
