Casually Elegant Teen Style

What’s “text” for laughing at myself?  LAS (Laughing at Self)?  If there isn’t one, there should be!

I’m laughing at myself because I just don’t feel like posting today.  🙂  Happily, I just happened to snap this photo of my dear daughter last week.  Update:  I wasn’t laughing when my server went down in the middle of putting together this post.  Argh!imgp5504.JPG

Presenting her creative outfit, Real Fashion for Real People style:

  • I picked up the purple knit dress on one of my dollar day trips to Value Village.  She folded the sleeves under to transform it into a tube top.
  • The belt is from a shirt-dress picked up at the same thrift store. 
  • She had to borrow a tank from me.  🙂  It’s what makes the outfit wearable.
  • The leggings?  I don’t recall.  Borrowed from sister?
  • Pink, crocheted flats:  thrifted as well.

For Real Fashion for Real People we also reveal style personality and lifestyle segment (where/for what the outfit is worn).  In this case we have an ultra -frugal and -functional 17 y.o. going to school for a final, then changing into a long dress for a performance before changing back into these clothes for a graduation party.  At a lake house, an hour’s drive away.

But I think she could wear this outfit for alot of different functions, don’t you?

  1. Thanks! That would be a great idea if either of them had time. That’s the kind of thing that would be perfect for the 14 or 15 year-old, with most of the skills of an adult but few opportunities. 🙂

  2. I’m scared, this outfit is HORRIBLE! I’m sorry, but i gotta be honest: this is everything but fashionable! If you wanna be stylish but modest, buy at Zara or H&M. This is modest, but no stylish!
