Off the Rack: 3 Fall Trends You Can Thrift with Octavia
September 17, 2026
Seasonal shopping feels better when it's secondhand (HELLOO 100% COTTON) and supports a great cause; just ask Octavia Osborne, 2025 COLAFW Top Stylist Winner.
From faux fur fleeces to boldly colored blazers, Octavia flipped through our local Goodwill racks in search of timeless items that prove you really only need a few statement pieces to bring out your unique sense of style this fall season.

Fall Trend #1: Statement Textures
🛍️ Thrifted Find: Colorful fleece pullover
Octavia: Fall layers don’t always mean basic neutrals. I styled this colorful thrifted fleece with distressed denim, fringe boots, and bold accessories to turn a cozy staple into a statement look. Bring personality to your wardrobe this fall and play with texture, color, and unexpected details!

Fall Trend #2: Modern Tailoring
🛍️Thrifted Find: Peach blazer + oversized vintage bottoms
Octavia: A great blazer is one of the easiest ways to add polish to your fall wardrobe. I paired this thrifted peach blazer with soft florals, a cropped top, and bold gold accessories to balance structure with femininity and make the look completely my own.

Fall Trend #3: Plaid
🛍️ Thrifted Finds: Plaid maxi skirt
Octavia: Plaid will ALWAYS have a place in fall fashion. I paired this thrifted plaid skirt with a thrifted trench, chunky loafers, and accessories to give two timeless fall staples a fresh, street-style twist.
