Adorable Janell Barnes was easily spotted during the currently dreary weather conditions with her cleverly layered get-up of basic black topped with a vintage denim vest and bright yellow Bijoux Terner scarf. We’re loving the combination of Janell’s sleek leather Urban Outfitters combats with her cropped black pants as it adds a certain casual flair to the overall look. The Jamaican pin adorning her denim vest marks a quaint personal touch to Barnes’ outfit that makes it just oh so cool. The sophomore from Philly loves perusing thrift shops to find hidden gems like this beauty of a distressed denim vest, which, we’ll have you know, was only one buckaroo, and also Janell’s favorite piece of that day’s outfit. Take a lesson or too from Janell, people, and embrace the thrift.
