If you love runway fashion as much as I do, you've probably had your eyes peeled for the hottest trends headed towards this harsh winter before anyone else. Designers such as Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, and the notorious Alexander Wang made winter something excited to look forward to when their thick sweaters, trench coats, bulky scarves, and rich colors marched the runway. Luckily for you, these looks can be done effortlessly without having to spend over ten dollars as opposed to a thousand.

Thrift and vintage shops are a galore for just these looks. Thick, cable knit sweaters are an easy find and can be found in every color and pattern. And don't dare leave the door without a bit of texture. Always feel free to layer materials with different feels to add life and dimension to your look. An amazing thing about your winter vintage finds is that they aren't something you have to hunt for. They're easily accessible, not to mention easy to fit your personal style. So go ahead, pull out your bulky scarves and sweaters in every color you can think of and tackle this winter cold in style.

Hello Ms. Birthday Bad! 
Teona H., a Baltimore native with a New York swag, has definitely out done herself with this gorgeous dress by Laurence Kazar. With a $35 alteration fee to shorten the dress, her $20 purchase (new with tag by the way) transforms into a sight to remember. 

Fashionable Thrift Tip: Don't get discouraged if the item you want is either too big or too long. The beauty of buying something oversized is that it can be tailored to fit you like a glove. 

WE LOVE THIS LOOK TEONA!

As much as I like to dress up, I thoroughly enjoy my 'dress down' days and, with the one inch snowed in weather we've experienced in ATL, comfortable chic was alright with me!
