sweater: thrift, boots: Frye, ring: Forever 21
Paying homage to the late designer who passed away yesterday. THE designer of the famous skull scarf, this unique piece can never be replicated.
This beautiful handmade skull sweater was a purchase I made at Value Village's 50% off sale this past Monday. Below is a similar knit worn by Rihanna.
As mentioned, McQueen's scarf is a particularly difficult piece to acquire "for less". While there are other versions on the market, the effect on an outfit just isn't quite the same. Below are 2 skull scarves: one from a thrift store (left) and one from Aritzia circa 2007 (right).
The McQueen scarf is really one of those key pieces worth getting authentic. While with other thrift finds that may not be exact replicas such as my sweater, because it's different in its fit, material, etc. you can make it your own. I'm finding it's more difficult to do that with these scarves, and I think that's what is tricky with thrift shopping.
