It’s Thrift Style Thursday and the theme is…..CELEBRITY INSPIRED!

I’ve always been a fan of Zooey Deschanel, from her acting and quirkiness, to her hipster but feminine style. I’ve been told numerous times that I am the Asian version of ZD. But I will let you decide.

Because I have nothing else better to do, here’s a list of why ZD and I are similar:

1. We both have dark, long, and thick hair.
2. Our glasses make us look hipster.
3. We both sing what we say.
4. I’m a handbell PRO.
5. I am a teacher (ZD plays a teacher on her show)
6. We both love the “Anthropologie” look.
7. Awkwardness may be involved.

Okay, so most of these are technically represented by her character, Jess, on the show. But for some reason, I have this inkling that Jess and ZD are one and the same.

So I’ve noticed that ZD is all about the A-line shape. So as I was rummaging through my aunt’s “don’t want this anymore” pile, I stumbled across this awesome sweater dress that totally reminded me of ZD. Pair it with a nice belt, cardigan, and my RayBans and you’ve got the look! And yes, technically I did not get this at a thrift store, but as my friend Kristi of Alligator Toe would say…it’s pre-thrifting. 🙂

I know what you’re thinking and the answer is NO, I did not actually wear this today to walk around town. We took family portraits over the holidays, so I thought I would share my look with you. I’m not really into the traditional studio family portraits, but hey, it’s an excuse to get all dressed up!

So let me tell you something about this dress…MY FAVORITE.
Every girl needs that dress, with a lace corset bodice and satin ribbon, that makes her feel like she’s the female lead character in a Jane Austen novel.
