Electric Boho

Rebecca Scott, UF philosophy student

Rebecca was striking at The Top in this adorable, one-shoulder vintage dress. How did this throwback make such a trendy comeback? Rebecca shelled out a couple more bucks at a tailor to fit this dress perfectly to her shape, and we agree the end product was well worth the extra effort. With such a bright hue, it’s smart to pair neutral accessories like her camel-toned belt and metallic sandals, which add depth to the outfit. Go thrifting for trendy cuts and styles of the moment without breaking the bank like Rebecca, and save the big purchases for classic pieces that won’t go out of style next season-like a power shift dress or a fitted blazer. Start out at Gainesville’s Salvation Army, where Rebecca scored this cute, bohemian-inspired belt.

Trendy and Thrifty

Krissy, 20, UF English and Linguistics junior

In the sun-kissed chill of Charleston, SC, we found this Gator walking the streets in style in a chocolate brown leather jacket from her favorite discount shopping locale, Goodwill. Paired with the neo-classic dark denim skinny jean, this structured jacket gives her outfit character and edge. Just in time for spring, Krissy chooses gradients of orange with her bag and blouse for pops of color. What’s inside Krissy’s closet? A cheerful mix of indie chic pieces reminiscent of Urban Outfitters, loads of skinny jeans, and vintage fashions retrieved anywhere from neighborhood thrift store to her mother’s wardrobe.
