The moment of judgement is once again upon us, thrifters! Winners have been selected for the month of December by our two fabulous guest judges. You will remember that both Fly Won and Phoebe Verkouw are multi-time winners on this site and we feel incredibly grateful to them for both their wonderful submissions over the last year and especially for helping us out with the judging this month. It’s never an easy task! be sure to check out their online projects–Fly runs a hot women’s wear shop over at www.flysnest.com (like any good social media socialite she also has a blog, a Facebook page, a YouTube Channel, and an Instagram feed that you should check out) and Phoebe has killing it on her blog over at her blog, The Dress Fiend (Facebook here).
On to their picks! They each get three.
Fly’s up first:
1. Tap Records “Going to the Movies”
“I LOVED this look because you took a casual jeans and sneakers look and smartened it up with a vest, tie and button up! It looks effortless but very stylish at the same time.”
2. Kia “Pretty in Peach”
“This dress was perfection! The color and silhouette complemented you very well. The dress draped lovingly over your curves. The gold belt was the perfect accessory to accentuate your small waist.”
3. NeShanta “Mixed Prints”
“Covering up your arms and cinching the waist drew attention to your perfect legs! The modest top and neutral skirt paired with the bold accessories and bare legs made this look both demure and sexy”
And here are Phoebe’s picks:
1. acollectedgentleman “Winter Sports”
“The Collected Gentleman has done it again! He is the perfect example of how a man should dress in my opinion. I realize he’s won before, but take his thrifted looks and excellent photographs as inspiration. This look to me is the ‘sophisticated prepster’ at it’s finest. I love the combination of the J.Crew stripped shirt, navy wool blazer, and pocket square. The pocket square to me was the icing on the cake! It’s the extra touches like the pocket square that make me swoon. Once again, well done!”
2. Olivia “Party Girl”
“I love me a jumpsuit and especially one that is vintage! I think Olivia looks great here – it’s ‘simple elegance’ done right. The jumpsuit on it’s own might be a bit blah, but the way she styled it turned it from ordinary to exceptional. I love the turquoise necklace with the skinny leopard belt and tan heels. I would totally wear this!”
3. Kerry “Hoochie Coochie Woman”
“Ok, I almost had to pick this picture on the title alone! Kerry’s look embodies a kind of ‘I don’t take nothing from nobody’ kind of look. She is totally rocking the 70′s brittania patch work jeans. Everything works really well here, from the jeans, necklace, to the stylish aviator shades from SPCA thrift. Great example of a thrifted vintage look.”
Congrats to everyone and happy hunting to you all in your 2013 thrift shopping endeavors!
