“Welcome to “Style Spotlight,” a series dedicated to our most inspiring, fashion influencers.”

Introducing Rasheedah, your favorite retro inspired thrifter.

Meet Rasheeda, a Jersey fashionista that loves everything from leisurewear to thrift stores!  We sat down with her to talk any and everything fashion related. Check out what she had to say below:

Where are you from?

I’m from South Orange, NJ!

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

I consider my style “Tomboy Chic,” and I like to be super relaxed in my clothing. I love Teyana Taylor and Rihanna’s looks!

Also, I really like the 70s and 80s. Those were really fun and funky decades. There were a lot of prints, trends, and bell-bottoms.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

Since we’re in quarantine, my “go-to” pieces are sweatpants and sweatshirts. Very comfortable! You can always dress up a sweatshirt or pants with a pair of heels, sneakers, and Nike socks. I have a picture on my page where I dressed up this nice, houndstooth blazer (I wore sweatpants and heels on with them). Going out, I love oversized coats. I’m very comfortable, unless I have to dress up. Then, it changes.

Where do you shop?

Lately, I’ve been thrifting. You find so many different, unique pieces for very cheap. It’s very fun to just pick through the blazers and men’s section.

Describe your personal style in three words?

Tomboy, chic, and trendy!

Any fashion related tips?

When shopping, I would check the thrift store first. You will find so many hidden treasures, and you can find so many things to put together on a budget. You don’t have spend a lot of money on clothes. If you see something, you can always dress it up or down. I would recommend going thrifting first before spending a lot of money.
