Averie's Style

Yesterday, it was Averie's (one of my best friends) birthday (she turned 18!), so to celebrate, a few friends and I went downtown to see live music at SoccerFest, which, by the way, is mainly a soccer based festival, but one of my friends was close to one of the bands that was performing, so we decided to go check it out. Just like my last post, I want to talk about street fashion in the city, but this time, it's going to be about Averie.  


The thing I love about Averie’s look is that she always brings her own personal style to everything she wears. The unique part about it is that everything in the outfit, even the boots, are pieces she found at goodwill or thrift shops. The skirt that she's wearing probably looks like an old "grandma" skirt on a hanger, but the way she styled it with the belt, a simple blouse, and edgy boots makes an outdated skirt a stylish midi that fits her personality. This outfit also works perfectly with the tips that I gave in my last post about how to dress for street style in a city. She took a used trend (the midi skirt), personalized it (the floral pattern and button-up style of the skirt work with her own personal style), and added a unique twist (wearing edgy boots that would usually not be worn with an outfit like this). Her outfit really stands out probably due to the fact that it's all from thrift shops. However, the thrifty nature of it completely works with her own style, which is extremely important in fashion. Instead of dressing to conform to a trend but not being comfortable in a foreign style, wear what you feel the best in and what matches your own personality. Averie's quirky yet edgy personality really does work with this unique outfit, so she mastered both pulling off a fashionable look but also showing off her personality through her outfit, which is what I truly love about fashion.

Along with Averie's outfit, here are a few other shots I got of the band that we saw (called Starting Fires):
