If one more person asks me how I can afford my fashion, i’m going to scream. Literally. So, i’m sitting on this plane, on my way back from LA, and I thought i’d write to you!
I want to talk about the concept of high & low. I learned this concept from a colleague when I was working at Coach, in Chicago. When it comes to fashion you don’t have to be guccied out to the socks, that’s not cute. And-being stylish doesn’t always have to cost you a fortune. So basically, in a nutshell, high-low refers to the cost of each item you’re wearing. All the things you wear don’t have to be high priced or name brand for that matter, take a look below for a perfect example of high-low.
Hat-Nordstrom Rack, $10
Shoes-Steve Madden, $35
Pants-Urban outfitters, $50
Shirt-Banana Republic, $7
Scarf-Burberry, $425
Wallet-Gucci, $600
Trench-the thrift, $5
Shades, QUAY Australia (on sale) $25
*Yes. I know. Some of the highs are REAL HIGH. But they are classic… and we’ll talk classics later! ENJOY! :)

Oversized Denim.
Staples for your wardrobe.
Jan.10.2020
Let’s start the year off with a closet staple series. I’ll just go ahead and say it now, jean is timeless. Although I don’t tend to purchase much denim, it is aways something you should have in your wardrobe especially because its so versatile.
This oversized denim look was perfect for brunch. Comfortable and stylish (something I always go for!) Believe it or not, I got the jeans from Banana Republic oversized off the clearance rack for $6 and thrifted the shirt for a buck-fifty! I raw-hemmed the bottle of the jeans myself in about 3-5 minutes (Youtube).
I accessorized this very affordable look with a par of red & white Jordan 1’s, a Y3 Camera Bag, and a Burberry baseball cap. Topped off with gold Gucci jewelry. This look is the epitome of “high-low”, see the blog post below!
I hope you enjoyed this post and are inspired to create your own looks that fully express who you are and how you feel. Thanks for reading like and comment below!
