PMF Style Tip: Steal People's Ideas

One of my fave artists, Banksy, (click here for Bansky's shit) once said, “Bad artists imitate, good artists steal.” And if Banksy steals, then I steal. And in the interest of full disclosure: I steal style ideas like, all the time. Britt and I even have a fancy name for stealing style ideas: fashion hacking. Anyone can be a fashion hacker. The greatest fashion hackers don’t give two shits about what the labels on their clothes say, or who the designer is, or how much it cost. You see something you like coming down the runway or on some street style star or maybe some random beezy and you simply concoct your own version of it. (Which is almost TOO easy right now. Every collection these days is a reference to fashion eras of the past.) The key is you gotta steal with style. Add your own flavor of swag to everything that you do. You gotta become so good at stealing other people’s ideas, that people don’t even realize you stole it. Nor do they even care. Because you did it better. 

For example: today’s ensemble. The silhouette of my ensemble was stolen from some random photo I saw on Tumblr. She was wearing a mini skirt peeking out from under an oversized sweater. K great, I already have all the supplies I need to successfully hack this ensemble! I added a fun little button up under my sweater, a red beanie for some visual interest and voila! Winter on the top and Summer on the bottom. Apparently my look was also loosely based on the philosophy behind the mullet...I don’t care. I love it.

Thrifted everything.

Until next time,
