I'm thrilled that my first round of thrifty celeb copycat looks was so well received by Bored Panda!
I firmly believe that everyone should be able to create their own fabulous style that makes them feel great regardless of age, gender or finances and I have devoted my Confessions of a Refashionista site & channel to teaching people how to shop for & DIY their own sustainable eco-fashion on a budget. I post new celeb copycat posts every week for #ThriftyThursday on my site, pop on over to check out the original outfit posts + the DIY tutorials too!
The next time you see a celeb outfit you'd love to have, look no further than your own closet + your local secondhand shop - with a bit of imagination you'll be able to put together something similar for next to nothing!
All of the 'copycat' looks below were put together from items I already had in my closet, upcycled freebies and thrift shop finds.
My Confessions of a Refashionista site is the eco-crafty corner of the Internet packed with over 1400 step-by-step upcycling tutorials for everything from groovy clothing & accessories to funky home decor, sustainable fashion articles, thrifty style tips & tricks + a healthy dose of body positive preloved DIY style inspiration!

Thrifting/vintage is the way to go for anyone who wants to indulge in owning more clothes than you need. Or at least that is what they say, nowadays, to reduce your carbon footprint by not buying new clothing. On the other hand, maybe this gives an alibi to the people who buy, buy, buy and then give the clothes away after only a few months. Please, NEVER THROW CLOTHES IN THE GARBAGE! http://www.wrap.org.uk/sites/files/wrap/VoC%20FINAL%20online%202012%2007%2011.pdf
