Fashion Victim Dress Up Game

Have you ever seen a friend sport an outfit thrown together at a thrift store? If your friend really knows what she’s doing, the outfit looks terrific – the clothes fit and have that funky vintage feel. But of course, things don’t always work out just right and sometimes there is a fashion victim in the mix – that’s the whole point of the Fashion Victim Dress Up Game. Are you in fashion? Or a fashion victim?

Grab a friend for moral support and head over to a local thrift store. You can really do this at any secondhand clothing shop, but it’s unlikely you’ll find real treasures at a store where the clothing is screened before being sold for more than nickels and dimes. You’re looking for the items that haven’t been stylish for decades – and you’re going to make them hip again.

Get into the shop and start digging. Try things on if you dare or take them home to try on later. You might wash any clothing you decide to try on before pulling them on, simply because they might not have been washed well before being donated. Look for funky combinations of jeans or pants, jackets, tops, sweaters, and even unusual shoes.

If you find a goldmine of a thrift clothing store, you can also find some truly unusual accessories. It’s easy to spend hours poking around and pulling together potential outfits. When you’re done, get the clothes to go and you’ll have an entirely new style – likely for less than $20.
