Dear Jazelle,
I found this button up shirt at a thrift store for $4, the pants are LEVI'S and the shoes I got suprisingly at a Sketchers store for only $15. Lastly my tan backpack I purchased at Target for $24. I was inspired by 50's fashion, hence my rolled up sleeves. As for a fashion motto I would say this, you can find something nice in every store and for any brand. You just have to take the time to look.
