With the rise of the internet and fashion blogging, today, many of us are more inspired by what we see on the pages of a blog than by fashion magazines. We are inspired by real girls, with real bodies, who look like us. These girls don’t have the budget of a magazine editor or the wardrobe of a fashion department – they shop in thrift stores and malls just like us, and create inspiring, achievable ensembles we can all emulate.

To celebrate the many fabulous fashion bloggers out there, in this series, I will be interviewing some of my favorites and finding inspiration in their styles, giving you tips and creating affordable outfits based on their looks. Last week we met Maria of Lulu Letty, and this week we have Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky.

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth is more than just a fashion blogger – she is a free spirit with a real sense of adventure. Just a few months ago, she traveled from her home in Alaska all the way across the country in a 1973 Winnebago Brave and blogged all the way through! She describes her blog as “a place where I share my thoughts, ideas, travels, life and personal style” and herself as “a not-so-reformed tomboy with a love for vintage, art, music and the charm of tacky, kitschy things most often found lingering in the ’70s.” Elizabeth’s style definitely embodies this; it’s fresh, fun, exciting and feminine without being too girly.

Funny enough, I was first introduced to Elizabeth thanks to an edition of College Fashion’s Hautelinks, back in 2009. I immediately loved how Elizabeth seemed like a regular girl. Her blog isn’t full of expensive, designer pieces and she isn’t a blogger-slash-model. She is just a normal girl with an impeccable sense of style.
