One Color Outfits

My grandma has always told me that if something does not have the same color in it, then it does not match. This is a completely false statement, different colors and patterns can mix beautifully together But this season her rule might come in handy, because to be 'matchy matchy' is the trend. Now is the time to wear an one color outfit and do it with class.
Some people are scared to wear all one color, because if it is done wrong it can look really.. wrong.Dressing in all one hue is a very chic look. For certain outfits you can have different shades of that color, but it's all about balancing the tones and textures. Also wearing a outfit in all one color can be a great time to show off a new bag or new shoes that is completely different from your outfit's color.Summertime calls for hot pinks, minty greens and primary blues, and never forget about white. Here's some examples below to get your fashion juices flowing. - xoxo JT

 Jennifer Lopez in all hot pink, and draws attention to her nude shoes.

 This outfit could use some accessories such as a gold or silver chain, and some heavy bracelets. But the whole outfit draws attention to the shoes.

 This outfit is all one pattern , in a cute trendy way.

Mixing of the textures, this look is my ultimate favorite.

You've Struck Gold: The Thrift Store

Never underestimate a thrift store, you'll never believe what you'll find. Some people are just plain snobs when it comes to a thrift store. Used clothes ?! *gasp* But guess what , all of my clothes that I get the most compliments on are from *gasp*, a thrift store. And I am not the only one who goes thrifting, celebrities do it to. Such as Miguel, Elle Varner, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rachel Zoe ( celebrity stylist ). It's like panning for gold, you get a lot of junk but sometimes you find something great. You have to be patient and really love to shop, because going to a thrift store requires a lot of digging. Thrift stores are a place for fashion forward people and vintage lovers, because you can find some really timeless pieces. I'll never reveal where my thrift store is, find another gold mine for yourselves haha.

If you plan to go to the thrift store here's some tips :

• Don't get overwhelmed, have a idea of what you're looking for.
• Give the clothes a chance, if it seems crazy and different just buy it ! It's only three or four dollars but it could become a key item in your wardrobe.
• Look at everything, never leave a rock unturned, cause you might miss something that could be great.
• If something is damaged, like a missing button or a little tear, you can fix it !
•  Wash everything you buy before wearing it 
• Don't buy underwear, bras, lingerie, socks, bathing suits, sheets, and towels.

Here's some of my favorite thrift store items ! Good luck and happy thrifting ! - xoxo JT
