Few feelings are more panic-inducing than running behind because you don’t know what to wear. Write down some foolproof style ideas you can refer back to with TZR’s Fashionably Delayed series, where we pick our favorite style creators’ go-to style in a hurry – and, of course, the exact products you need to follow them.
At first glance, it may seem that fashion content creators’ wardrobes are completely aspirational, overflowing with designer sets and exclusive items. This can make emulating said Instagram a bit intimidating for the average person. But it so happens that these social media stars are just like the rest of the busy population, in that they often rely on proven styling recipes. Oh, and they appreciate a good bargain find, too. Influencer born in Great Britain Karen Blanchard is proof of this.
TZR recently reached out to the content creator at Marshall Good Stuff social event in Atlanta, Georgia, where she hosted a panel on how to dress to be your most confident self. For Blanchard, that means convenience. “I am a magpie,” says TZR. “I tend to jump up and down. For example, today I feel like I’m a feminine, very girly version of Karen. But there is also a tomboyish version of Karen. But I also love creating a very eclectic, vintage version of Karen, a rock chick kind of thing […] However, I think that the basis for this is comfort and clothing adapted to how I feel on a given day.
And while she has an eye and taste for refined fashion, the Fresh York native swears by high-end shopping. “I think there is something magical about combining both price levels,” he says. “So that’s why [Marshall’s and I] We have already cooperated many times. They resonate with who I am from a style and wardrobe standpoint.”
And she is a woman who loves vintage style inspired by men’s fashion. In fact, Blanchard’s costume formula is based on these very principles. For hurried and hurried days, it relies on three very uncomplicated wardrobe staples, and they’re probably things you already have in your closet.
“It’ll be some pants,” Blanchard says. “It will either be oversized cargo pants, wide leg pants, or wide leg jeans. And then I just wear a T-shirt and a jacket with it. It’s a “I don’t have to think” outfit.
And footwear? “Oh, something flat,” he thinks. “It will probably be loafers or sneakers. I think my relaxed state is a tomboy. So it will be a pair of sneakers or a flat shoe. Just something that is very comfortable and simply takes no effort.
