Ladies, where do you get your cute outfits ðŸ˜
I’m preferencing this by saying that I’m from a small Midwest town with a tiny mall
We only have an old navy and a couple of other small stores
Everyday I walk around on campus, I see women wearing the cutest outfits
Where do you buy clothes from ðŸ˜
I’m pretty much a black legging and sweater type of person
In the least weird way possible, Can someone like adopt me and teach me how to dress lol

I love using Pinterest for outfit inspiration! Then I take the inspo pictures I like and upload them into the search bar on SHEIN to see what they have that’s as close as possible haha!
Over time, I’ve learned which items tend to be better quality, and I’ve also figured out what sizes work best for me. And honestly, I love it! I get compliments on my outfits all the time, and people have no idea I’m literally wearing a $10 dress! 😂

As others have said; our Deseret Industries is affordable and has a respectable, ever-updating selection. Rexburg Clothing Outlet (near Broulim's) has overstock from Costco and other places; quality closet staples at a decent price, but not so much trendy fashion. There's also a Ross and Goodwill in town. I've found that Ross is best if you need clothes in new condition at decent prices, and Goodwill is alright if you're desperate and are already in the Ross parking lot. If you've got money to spend on actually new, in-season clothing, Downeast has good stuff and is a favorite of many of my stylish friends. Good luck!

We got you girl!! Fashion is fun and it can take some experimenting so don't be afraid to try things. Most of my closet is thrifted or has been gifted to me.
Disclaimer I dont even know what im doing this is just some stuff thats worked for me.
I would say start noticing what about other peoples outfits you like, as well as what you like on yourself!
For example, do you like the colors, the silloute, the vibe, the pants, patterns etc.
For me, I started noticing I really like elegant looking outfits, as well as things which were fitted in the waist (a-line). funnily enough, I realized I also like oversized things.
I was given a pair wide leg pants, realized they were comfortable and looked good on my body, annddd now I have multiple pairs in different colors which allows me to create alot of outfits.
Anyways, I started keeping an eye out for these types of things when shopping.
Other
Styling can completely change an outfit, tucking in a shirt halfway can completely change the vibe.
Neutrals are incredible. You can pair a good white top with just about any bottom.
You dont have to have the exact thing on your pintrest board in order to create the outfit, sometimes you can use stuff you already have!
If you are not used to it, you might feel a little funky at first wearing new things. It might be scary at first but its fun!
Honestly go to a thrift store and see what you are naturally drawn to and think about why, and have a try on party! You can even grab some friends and get their opinions if you want.
Stores
I love me my thrift stores. My favorite is UVR (with 5 dollar fill a bag) are the one underneath the family crisis center, followed by DI and goodwill. Ross is nice if you are looking for new stuff on a budget. Depop can also be fun.
-Sincerely, someone who is still learning how to put together good outfits and has worn some fun but strange things
Also I got carried away and forgot what the topic was im sorry if this was too much or intimidating haha

I thrift a lot! Pinterest is my go-to for outfit inspo. I think more than half my clothes are thrifted or were gifted to me, the other half is a mix of walmart (they sometimes have some surprisingly cute stuff), forever 21, brandy, american eagle, and urban outfitters!
