FASHION BLOGGER Meet Arielle Parr - the creator and fashion brains behind the chic blog, Young & Thrifted. Arielle tells us how she makes a statement in thrifted fashions! Visit Arielle at Youngandthrifted.com I'm 22, yet I have an old soul. Since my teenage years I have been infatuated by vintage fashion. My personal style expresses my love for retro trends, with an added modern twist. Most of my clothes were purchased from consignment shops and thrift stores, where the bargains are endless! I started thrifting in high school for a fashion show, and it has been a hobby of mine ever since. The chase is a thrill! Scavenging through timeless treasures in search for the most unique items. I always seem to luck out and find clothing & accessories that are truly presents from the past. I started my vintage fashion blog, "Young & Thrifted", last year to share these special thrift finds. Blogging has been a blast so far, and it has also given me an outlet to let my creative juices flow. 9 Next Steps Next year, I plan on launching a vintage online boutique full of one of kind pieces. I'm young and still figuring out this thing we call life, but I can say with full confidence great things are awaiting.
