Today we’re talking about wardrobe essentials for French style and how to have French Girl style on a budget using all Rouje inspired looks with some pieces I’ve sourced from the thrift store.
Jeanne Damas and her clothing line, Rouje, is absolutely taking the internet by storm right now. If you love Jeanne Damas style and you love Rouje but you don’t have the money to create a French Girl inspired wardrobe, then this video for you.
These days many fast fashion and designer brands are turning to actual vintage pieces to inspire their collections and I think this is ultimately a good thing. In the end, it means you and I can find nearly identical items for a fraction of the retail price at the thrift store.
So today I’m going to be showing you my designer thrift haul inspired by Jeanne Damas style and Rouje’s 2019 fall collection by creating 3 looks based on actual outfits seen on Rouje.com. Plus, I’m going to be giving you a few tips on how you can score these kinds of items for yourself at the thrift store.
