| - My galpal - Candy - and I are huge fans of Audrey Hepburn, not only for her elegance but for her fashion style. To honor the woman who draped herself in what is my favorite accessory, we shuffled our way to H&M to look for scarves after a yogurt treat right across at yogurtland. The store was neatly organized, allocating womens clothing on the left and mens on the right with clear dividers.
For some reason, I feel like vintage 40s-60s fashion is slowly getting back in trend. Conservative dresses, ribbons, pleats, and golden shoulder buttons are in and I am liking it! Hung in the accessory area were lines of scarves made of all sorts of materials from cotton to silk. For roughly $9 a scarf, you have the ability to create and re-create looks. During her days as a struggling artist, Audrey Hepburn was well-known for wearing the same set of clothes day in and out of theatre but because she had 14 different scarves to alternate every now and then, she always looked fresh and attractive.
Sadly, my friend and I didn't have a budget for new scarves so that'll probably have to wait a while. Besides the casual, business, chic styles up front of the store near the entrance, you can also find some good active wear essentials at the back. Because the quality of their clothing material was really good, you could also expect the prices to be a tad bit higher compared to Forever 21. In the end, I settled with buying myself a tank top and jogging shorts at Forever21 for only about $7-8 combined. Gotta squeeze every penny while I'm in college. This road to nursing and medical school (cross my fingers) is long and tuition won't pay for itself.
