The Equestrian

Today I photographed my first subject in the form of a girl named Sarah.
Sarah perfectly combines more masculine pieces with feminine ones, giving her a well put together and unique look. I love how she paired a men's button down with a colorful scarf and effeminate platforms. Being an avid horse back rider also allows Sarah to incorporate pieces she wears for the sport into her everyday outfits, adding to her already present individuality.

Here she is sporting:
-Her dad's J.Crew white linen button down
-Her mom's "table cloth thing" from Mexico
-Brown tailored Sportsman riding pants
-Beige Kork-Ease platforms
-Brown leather belt from Gap
-Small leather backpack

I got a chance to ask Sarah a few questions and hear what she had to say about her stylish ways:

What's your favorite article of clothing at the moment?

-Hm...actually, it's my dad's J.Crew corduroys. He's so skinny I can wear all his clothes...which is weird.

Where do you get your style inspiration/describe your style?

-Probably a combination of equestrian stuff and whatever I think is most flattering. I guess I lean towards anything that makes my legs look longer than they actually are..ha.

What's one style tip you'd give someone?

-I guess that the point of clothes is to make you look good. If you're uncomfortable or awkward in them it'll never be stylish.

Thrift Away

So, since I just started this blog and haven't had a chance to photograph my first subject yet, I decided i would update you on a recent thrifting expedition I went on. Last Saturday, May 9th, my friend and I decided to check out a big thrift sale at a church in a town nearby. I was very excited, but was not expecting anything great, especially since it was the last day of the sale (I figured everything decent would be gone). Nonetheless, my friend and I headed straight for the "Bargain Clothing" section and began to eagerly sift through the racks and piles of old clothing. Well, I ended up buying 3 dresses and one old tee shirt for all of $3.25. Each dress was $1 and the tee shirt was 25 cents...my friend and I were completely shocked (and thrilled) at how low these prices were!
So, here are pictures of 1 of the dresses (since one is in the wash, I'm wearing the other and the tee shirt really isn't that interesting):


This kind of looks a little like an old wedding dress and it definitely needs to be shortened (since I stand at a whopping 5'1), but I think it has some potential. I love the lace and the floral pattern.

My friend and I then proceeded upstairs to the "Boutique Clothing"and "Accessories" sections.
There I found 2 amazing dresses (which of course have to be shortened) for only $5 each! I also found a gorgeous old leather coach bag, also for only $5!



I love love love this turquoise-y dress! The puffy sleeves and florals are adorable. This brown leather Coach bag is so great for everyday and was such a steal!



I've been searching for the perfect white summer dress for forever, and this one is so simple and lovely! It will be perfect when it's shorter.

Altogether, it proved to be a fabulous and productive thrifting experience!

Le Premier Entry

Wow, first blog entry!
Pas Comme Tout means not like all, because here we focus on everyday people with their own unique, individual styles. At this present moment I'm thinking this blog will mainly consist of photos, as well as descriptions of people on the street who happen to have interestingly fabulous style. There might also be some entries of me rambling on about a new purchase or a new store or anything along those lines. There will probably be much focus on vintage and thrifted fashion too!
I'm really excited about this blog, and I'm hoping to have my first person post up within the next week!
Ciao,
Rachel
