Vested interest

• Who she is: Omily Stutan
• What she’s wearing: Pink button-down from a thrift store that she’s “had forever.” “It’s all pretty much from thrift stores,” Omily reports of her purple vest, chunky shoes and wire necklace, except for the black pants “from a place at the beach that was having a sale” and her patchwork tote from a Unitarian Universalist yard sale.
• Why we love it: Menswear, carried over from fall fashion, is still in (and is never out, if you’re a Diane Keaton fan). And, according to Lucky magazine, wearing various shades of the same color is a new must. Omily reinterprets these trends with thrift-shop finds.

Jelly sandals are back (if you missed them the first time around, circa 1984, they’re pretty much the same, only not in neon shades — so far). Pick up your pair of plastic molded shoes — they’re cheap enough to get a different color for every occasion. Shop at urbanoutfitters.com, onyourfeet.com or melissaaustralia.com.au. Marc Jacobs offers a high-end style ($95) — look for them at the Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales sites.
