  • Here’s How To Look Stylish This Fall Without Wearing a Sweater

    Quintessential Fall Fashion

    Wearing another dress for fall? Groundbreaking.

    This time, instead of an unseasonal maxi dress, I am wearing a floral long-sleeve number.

    Our weather finally cooled off, and I got to have a quintessential fall day in the perfect autumn outfit.

    For anyone still thinking inside the box that fall fashion is only about sweater weather, let me use this outfit to change your mind!

    Continue reading to get my tips on how to style yourself this season without relying on a sweater. (Although sweaters for fall are great too!)

    Why I Bought a Dress For Fall

    Fall is a fun time to experiment in your closet, play with your layers, and try something new.

    If you’re stuck in a jeans and sweater rut to chase away the chills, this outfit should inspire you to branch out and try something new!

    My long-sleeve floral dress with a mock turtleneck has been on my thrifting wishlist for seven years! I first spotted it on ThredUp and wanted it for an event but knew it wouldn’t arrive in time.

    Even though the event came and went, I never stopped thinking about this dress (or adding it to my ThredUp wishlist)!

    Finally, this year, I decided to just buy the dress and live out all my fall fashion fantasies with it.

    Bringing To Life My Fall Fashion Fantasy

    So, what is my fall fashion fantasy? Colors that reflect the changing leaves, pieces that invoke nostalgia, like tights and boots, plus cozy elements like a thrifted beret.

    This outfit checked all the boxes for me. Plus, I wore it on a beautiful fall day to walk around and support local artists in my hometown. It could not have felt more perfect!

    Fall Outfits That Don’t Involve a Sweater

    If you’re like me and want to try something new this fall without relying on a sweater, here are a few outfit combinations I would suggest:

    • Destructed denim and a utilitarian jacket
    • A short skirt, turtleneck, and tights… à la The Nanny!
    • A cute long-sleeve shirt and overalls
    • A flouncy blouse and non-denim pants (think palazzo pants!)
    • A dress and a chunky cardigan
    • A midi skirt, button-down, and sweater vest
    • Colored denim, a sweatshirt, and a classic camel coat

    Are you feeling inspired yet? I’d love to see your fall outfits. Tag me on social media so I can check them out!

  • How To Combine Modern & Vintage Styles For One Throwback-Inspired Outfit

    Style Merger

    Feeling stuck in a fashion rut?

    One simple way to get out of a funk is to look to the past.

    As thrifters, we’re surrounded by amazing vintage styles just hiding out on the racks waiting for us to take them home.

    But once they’re in your closet, it can be tough trying to merge the old styles with the current trends in your closet.

    That’s where this post comes in handy as I navigate combining modern and vintage styles for one throwback-inspired outfit!

    Everything Old Is New Again

    Before you start putting together outfits, you should determine what kind of vintage you want in your closet.

    Shopping for vintage clothes at secondhand stores can be a lot of fun but not all vintage is created equal.

    When assessing pieces to add to your closet, try to find past trends that match the vibe of your closet.

    If you normally wear neutrals and business casual, then a neon floral muumuu wouldn’t make much sense—as fabulous as it is to look at.

    Everything old is new again so whatever you wear today was once a style of yesteryear! Try to find those styles and you’ll have a much easier time combining vintage with modern trends.

    If price or sizing is an issue, focus on accessories with unique details, like a scarf or a statement necklace!

    How To Combine Modern and Vintage Styles

    To practice what I preach, I pulled out this vintage navy blue poncho with an abstract colorful pattern on it. It’s probably from the 1970’s but reminds me of one I wore as a kid back in the 1990s. It holds a lot of nostalgia for me!

    Because I love color, this is a natural fit for my wardrobe. It wasn’t hard to find pieces that matched it! I went with a red turtleneck, a red beret, these outrageous flared denim jeans I got from Maurices last spring, and a pair of cognac stacked heel booties.

    All the modern elements almost make you forget the poncho is from 50 years ago! (That felt weird to type lol)

    WHAT I’M WEARING

    In Clothes-ing

    There are no hard or fast rules to wearing vintage but this is a simple outline for getting started or, like I said at the beginning, to help you get out of a style rut.

    What is your favorite decade to wear and how do you incorporate it with modern trends? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    If you enjoyed this post, please be sure to Pin it for later and send it to a friend who could use some inspiration.

  • A DIY Jack-o’-Lantern Halloween Costume

    A DIY Jack-o'-Lantern Halloween Costume www.theoutfitrepeater.comDIY Jack-O’-Lantern Halloween Costume

    I take being the cutest pumpkin in the patch quite literally!

    Based on that, I decided to make my own jack-o’-lantern costume from materials I had lying around.

    It was very easy and would be a great last-minute costume or even an outfit to wear to a pumpkin patch.

    Best of all? You don’t have to have any real pumpkin carving skills!

    Just grab something orange from your closet, and some scissors, and you’re ready to go!

    What You Need For a Jack-o’-Lantern Costume

    The base of my jack-o’-lantern costume is an orange sweater dress (or maybe a sweater? It’s quite long!) that I thrifted.

    Because you’ll be modifying your clothing item, I recommend choosing something you don’t have a lot of attachment to, like a thrifted shirt or dress in any shade of orange!

    And finally, to make your jack-o’-lantern Halloween costume, you’ll need either sticky-back black paper or felt. I found mine at the Dollar Tree!

    How To Put Together Your Own Jack-o’-Lantern Costume

    I freehanded a jack-o’-lantern design on my black sticky-back paper, cut it out, and then placed it on my sweater.

    You could go one step further and buy iron-on paper and attach your jack-o’-lantern face more permanently to your garment. But I do plan to re-wear this sweater in the future so I just needed a temporary solution!

    To complete the look, I think it’s best to wear orange pants to really convey the idea that you’re a human-sized pumpkin! Or you could wear tights if you chose a dress.

    Finally, top it off with a black beret (mine is thrifted!) to emulate the stem on top of a pumpkin! A brown beret would work great, too!

    Halloween Costume Takeaways

    This jack-o’-lantern costume is easy to make and is also a great way to get into the Halloween spirit without breaking the bank! It’s a classic costume that everyone will recognize.

    You could make a bunch of different variations and wear them all together as a family or group “pumpkin patch” costume.

    So why not give it a try and see how creative you can get? Be sure to bookmark or Pin this post so you can re-create it later!

    A Colorful, Casual Spring Outfit

    Maybe one day I’ll stop wearing color but today is not that day! I hope you’re not sick of me talking about colorful clothes because that’s what this post is all about.

    Being a year-round dopamine dresser means that my closet never truly takes a break from color. I do like to embrace seasonal colors though which means I wear deeper shades in the Fall/Winter. But now Spring is here and bright colors are popping up everywhere – including my closet!

    Here’s how I’m being inspired by the new season and came up with a colorful, casual thrifted outfit.

    The Inspiration For My Colorful Spring Outfit

    I was getting ready for an event and normally my go-to outfit is jeans and a nice top. (Can’t help it – I was a Y2k teen) But I was really feeling like I exhausted most of my jeans during the week and felt like wearing something different.

    I started with a bright yellow beret to cover up the greasy roots from my new haircut I’ve been playing with too much, and that really set the vibe for the rest of the look.

    Once I started with a statement piece, I just went through my closet matching things together.

    I love this striped top and especially how it looks with this beret. I still went with denim – albeit overalls – and then added my pink coat overtop as a light layering piece for the in-between-y weather we were having.

    How The Public Reacted to My Colorful Outfit

    This outfit got a really positive response from almost everyone I encountered. A few people said that I was “bringing in Spring”!

    I felt good about this outfit – which is always most important to me – so it was a bonus that strangers liked this outfit as much as I did!

    Tips For Adding Color To Your Closet This Spring

    I know I make wearing color look easy but I also know it can be intimidating!  If black and gray are your safe zone but you’re feeling bold and want to add some color to your wardrobe this spring, try these tips:

    • Wear a fun accessory like a hat or a headband
    • Add a pop of color with your jewelry
    • Tie a bright scarf on your purse or around your neck
    • Wear colorful shoes with your LBD (little black dress)
    • Try a new shade of lipstick like pink or red

    You don’t have to wear head-to-toe color on the first try. Like with anything, it takes practice. The more you wear it and get comfortable, the more confident you’ll be. Soon enough, you can recreate any outfit I share here or on my social channels!

  • Colorful Fall Thrifted Capsule Wardrobe: 10 pcs, 25+ Outfit Ideas

    colorful graphic fall thrifted capsule wardrobe with 10 itemsColorful Fall Thrifted Capsule Wardrobe

    You don’t need more clothes, you just need to get creative with what you have!

    I love putting together these types of posts, demonstrating the power of a capsule wardrobe.

    For so long, capsule wardrobes have been synonymous with minimalism and kind of boring. (I also don’t know how relevant they are anymore but I have my reasons for this post!)

    I can promise that there is no boring here! I believe it’s possible to have a limited wardrobe but to make it exciting.

    For my third installment of a colorful capsule wardrobe (see: summer capsule wardrobe and my winter capsule wardrobe) I decided to tackle fall, which is arguably the most vibrant of all seasons. Plus we’re all probably yearning for some layering after a hot summer!

    I asked on my Instagram if this is something you wanted to see and it was a resounding YES! I’m so glad that I can make this happen and share my vision for a small and colorful wardrobe with you.

    If you’re curious how it went, keep scrolling for some epic outfit inspiration!

    The Importance of a Capsule Wardrobe

    As I mentioned above, I do have a reason to try to keep this capsule wardrobe trend thing going.

    We’re definitely living in an interesting time where consumerism and interest in sustainability are colliding. There’s really not a perfect solution or one-size-fits-all choice for everyone. We’re all on our own journeys with fashion and consumption.

    But one way to meet in the middle is to be conscious of the items you’re buying. A capsule wardrobe – whether it’s 30 pieces or your entire closet – can be a carefully curated selection of clothes that all mingle together.

    I hope that you’re inspired by this post and can see the benefit of buying clothes that can be re-worn a million different ways. (Maybe not a million, unless you get crafty. 🤣)

    Creating a Thrifted Capsule Wardrobe

    Choosing pieces for a capsule wardrobe is one of my favorite things. Some tips to keep in mind when building your own are:

    • How many pieces do you need? (Alternatively: how long do you want to do it so you know how many clothes you need?)
    • What color story are you using?
    • Is there a theme or common thread you’re aiming for?

    My answer to those questions are:  10 pieces for 1 week, I Googled a random color story, and my theme was thrifted and Fall!

    Using this equation, you can come up with a capsule wardrobe for fun or financial purposes, or even use it when packing for a trip!

    My Thrifted Capsule Wardrobe Pieces

    With the number 10 in mind and a color story picked out, I went through my closet and chose clothes that fit the bill.

    They are: little orange dress, orange tee, yellow tee, white turtleneck, leopard print pullover sweater, baby blue cardigan, cognac moto jacket, maroon jeggings, leopard print skirt, and burnt orange palazzo pants. (If I did it all over again, I’d swap out the orange tee for a graphic tee. I think it would have expressed my personal style a smidge better.)

    I didn’t have any restrictions on accessories but I did seem to pull the same ones again and again. Lots of slouchy hats, neck scarves, and low-heeled booties.

    Wearing My Thrifted Fall Capsule Wardrobe

    Next came the really fun part – I hung up all the pieces together and let my imagination run wild! In total, I came up with 28 outfits and I’m very satisfied with that number. Let me know what you think of the looks!

    ///

    👗 WHAT I’M WEARING 💄
    ❤️ All pieces are thrifted except the jeggings, shoes, oversized scarf, and slouchy hats. ❤️

    Capsule Wardrobe Recap

    Once again, I just want to say how fun this was! Everybody should try this at least once as a creative exercise.

    And just like at the end of a trip, I was SO happy to be reunited with my full closet again. This way of getting dressed definitely works for me shorterm and helps eliminate a lot of the brain fog/decision fatigue related to my health issues, but I wouldn’t want to do it forever.

    Fall is in full swing and I’m sure you’ve all got a milelong bucket list of activities to fulfill!

    Me? Not so much.

    I’m continuing to take it easy this season and have converted an “activities” list into an outfit list. That’s what a fashion girl does, right?

    To really top it off, I created a mini pumpkin patch in my own backyard so I can fulfill my outfit fantasies in a seasonally appropriate setting! * extra and I know it *

    So whether you’re hitting up an apple farm or Netflix and chillin’ with a scary movie, maybe one of my outfits will spark an idea for you!

     

     

     

     

    Color-fall Jeans & Sweater

    Fall is really a beautiful season because of the changing colors. I like to switch out summer pieces for fall but keep one thing – COLOR! The shades and hues just change a little bit.

    Yellow still remains one of my faves so I paired up this bright sweater with dark olive skinny jeans. To keep it somewhat cohesive, I chose a neck scarf that ties both colors together and a matching yellow beret.

    This is seriously one of my most favorite outfits in a long time!

    Girl Bossin’ In Orange Pants

    If you missed my last blog post with a big announcement, I’m employed in the fashion industry again. It’s such an exciting time to jump back in!

    So I wore my “girl boss” graphic t-shirt (I’m loving all the satire surrounding the phrase on TikTok!) and tried something different with a white moto jacket. I’m digging the monotone vibe!

    Then I (pumpkin) spiced it up with my faaaavorite orange palazzo pants. Altogether it’s kind of a cool, quirky fall look.

    A Sweatshirt That Is SO GOOD

    I’ve already worn this outfit for quite a few events like shopping, a quick stop at a corn maze, and sitting around my house.

    The sweatshirt is a classic, comfy piece and I wore it with yellow pants to kick it up a notch. I think that helps it from being an ordinary top + jeans look.

    Pumpkins & Polka Dots

    I know I’ve used the word “favorite” quite loosely in this post and it’s honestly a pet peeve of mine… but this babydoll dress is my FAVORITE baby doll dress! There, I said it.

    It was easy to style with some knock-off Doc Martens and a pork pie hat. It’s a very classic “me” outfit and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable to be wearing it!

    What Will I Wear Next?

    Which outfit was your favorite?

    If you’re anything like me (a very sleepy spoonie!) maybe I can make this “outfit bucket list” a tradition. Rather than choosing to go places every season, I’ll just dream about what I want to wear! What do you think?

  • Fashion Trends That Rock + Tips For Buying Jumpsuits

    2019 fashion trends jumpsuit asos boohoo hannah rupp the outfit repeater try.com review

    Jumpin’, Jumpin’

    I’m usually the last person to jump on board with fashion trends but when I find one that I like – jumpsuits, for example – I hold on and don’t let go. Luckily it looks like jumpsuits are going to be in another year!

    I used my Try.com membership (Update: Try.com has gone out of business!) to test out some jumpsuits from ASOS like the one I wore for Thanksgiving and New Years Eve. The number one complaint I have with them – and you’ve vented about, too – is the length in the torso is never long enough. So far, the three I’ve posted about have all made the cut for my 5’7″ frame. There were others in my package that didn’t fair as well, including one jumpsuit that didn’t even have a zipper to get into. #poordesign

    Keep scrolling for my tried and true tips for finding a good one!

    Tips for Buying Jumpsuits

    From my years of thrifting and buying rompers/jumpsuits, I’ve come up with a few tricks to finding the perfect fit.

    • Search out garments with an oversized cut. Lots of my vintage rompers are generously sized!

    • Size up. You can always get it tailored to your body later.

    • Choose an item with adjustable straps like my thrifted denim overalls. That way you get a custom fit without spending a lot!

    • Always, always, always try on. I would never blindly buy jumpsuits or rompers like this from online but thankfully Try.com helped me out. (This isn’t sponsored, I’m just really grateful for their service.) I try to stick with shopping in person but utilizing this service really opens up a lot of options for me! ASOS is a good site to try from, as well, since they copy their in-house designs in straight, plus, petite, tall, and maternity sizes. There’s literally something for everyone!

    ///

    My greatest bit of advice is not to give up. If I’ve learned anything working at a clothing store, it’s that we never give up when a customer comes in with a clothing problem. There is always a solution if you use a little creativity!

    The “F” word is overrated anyways!

    Body Talk

    New readers might not be aware of the changes that have taken place with my health and body over the last 10 years but it’s something very important to me. I didn’t always have the best relationship with my body, especially as a teenager, but finding the body positivity movement when I was 19 changed all that. It really helped me to accept and love my body at a size 20 and later on when I became a size 8 due to a health related weight loss.

    To be honest, learning to love myself at the size I am now took much longer than it did when I was plus-size. So much so that I really stopped talking about it on my blog because I struggled with my new image for a few years.

    Thankfully with lots of practice and supportive friends & internet strangers, I’ve gotten through that rough patch and I feel like I’m in a better place now to encourage and remind others to love themselves no matter what size or shape they are. <3

    In celebration of that, I put together this outfit and wanted to talk more about why I don’t say the “F” word (flattering) on my blog. Keep scrolling for my thoughts or just to shop similar pieces from my outfit!

    The “F” Word

    Maybe it’s my laid back personality or my creative mind but I’ve never understood the “f” word – flattering. Why is trying to live up to some imaginary rules that someone deemed as “correct” such a big deal?! It’s so weird when you think about how we’re the only mammals that wear clothes yet there’s rules for how we’re supposed to do it.

    The way I see it, trying to fit in and dress flattering will only stunt your creativity and is a slippery slope towards becoming a people pleaser. This is precisely why I never preach about body shapes or “flattering” silhouettes on my blog. Clothes are clothes and I believe they should be fun!

    What I’m Wearing & What I’ll Never Wear

    I’ve worn just about everything on my blog! From body con to over-sized and everything in between. Having been on both sides of the size spectrum, the only “rule” I’ve found worth following is that when you love what you wear, you feel good and that’s what makes you look good to others.

    I felt pretty awesome in the outfit worn for this post! These are my new holy grail high waisted jeans from H&M, a recently thrifted crop top, and my long standing favorite leopard print coat.

    The pants hug my curves, the coat has no shape, and the crop top exposes my belly. But you know what? I wore it and the world didn’t end.

    You Are Some Body

    I hope that my blog, my outfits, and my story of body positivity encourage you to feel comfortable in your own skin.

    If you’re so willing, I would love for you to leave a comment and tell me one thing you love about your body. Finding just one thing each day is a small step towards complete acceptance and I’d be excited to cheer you on as you work your way to that place!

    Dressing out-of-season is what I do best!

    So Clothes, Yet So Far Away

    This outfit is very foreshadowing of two things. First, this turtleneck will be featured in my monthly thrift haul video on Friday and you’re among the first people to see it. (Aside from my newsletter subscribers who already saw a sneak peek!)

    Second, I’m wearing a dress meant for summer in the middle of winter. Why not? Read on to find out my inspiration!

    The Outfit

    Obviously you have to do a lot of layering to wear such a delicate dress in the midst of dreary weather. I went with a turtleneck because it’s one of the ultimate cold weather essentials (probably second to sweaters) and I liked the way it looked with the sleeveless dress.

    The outfit was taking on a very mod appearance so I went with that and added bright white tights and a vintage beret.

    This look wouldn’t pass as true vintage or ’60s in the least, but I like that we live in a time with so much creative freedom that we can wear looks with a nod to the past.

    Looking Forward

    As I said earlier, this turtleneck is something I thrifted this month and will be in my January thrift haul coming out on Friday. I’m excited to share my finds with you once again! Be sure to follow along so you don’t miss it.

    Winter Capsule Wardrobe Challenge: Day 7

    And last but not least…

    What I’m Wearing

    It’s the final day of my winter capsule wardrobe outfit challenge so I saved the best for last!

    My FashionYou app randomly assigned my polka dot mini skirt and striped turtleneck to be worn together. Now, I love a good pattern mixing but, I had my doubts these would look good together… that is until I added a few key accessories and then I fell in love with this outfit.

    Scroll down to see and the shop the final look!

    Back To Black

    There’s been so much color used in this challenge that I decided to break things up and wear black tights to compliment this look. I love the final outcome with the addition of this vintage beret and “happy” pin I found last year at Walmart. “Happy” is also the way I would describe how I feel now that this challenge is over. Oy vey! What a week!

    If you missed any post this week then I’ll be publishing a big ol’ round-up later today. In the meantime, why not Pin this post or share it with a friend? That would make me so happy! 🙂
