Over 40 fashion-blogger, Retro Reva shares spirited style on a shoestring budget.
A self-described thrift store junkie, Retro Reva is a mid-western gal who loves to dress up. Fashion, as long as it's not retail, or mainstream, or boring, is her name of the game. She's down to earth, friendly and loves her boho style. I was recently privileged to e-chat with this Mid-western fire-cracker and here's a taste of Reva in 5 quick questions:
Q: Name 3 words to describe your style?
REVA: Eclectic. Bohemian. Vintage.
Q: Where's your favorite place to shop and why?
REVA: Any thrift store! I especially love Goodwill. Why? Thrift stores allow my imagination to run wild. I can dress myself for pennies, find sweet vintage pieces and stop buying into "cookie cutter" styles.
Q: What inspires you?
REVA: Photography, music, other bloggers, indie trend setters, cultural diversity!
Q: What's your preferred (personal style) network, and why?
REVA: My first was Weardrobe. I even started my own campaign to be the first featured blogger over 40. I still post there, but I am more into street style pages, like Japanese street style, and Street Peeper. So, I don't have a fave at the moment. Any suggestions?
Q: Are you on Facebook?
REVA: Not an official Fan page, but I'm working on it!
You can get more of REVA's joyful, bohemian spirit over at her newly spruced up & updated blog Reva's Rags to Roses. And be sure to add her to your blogroll!
(Edit: I wrote that Reva was the first woman over 40 to be featured on Weardrobe, but that is incorrect. Reva sent me an email clarifying her campaign to be featured, and I have since corrected the statement. -Bella Q)

I loved this. It was great!
It's nice to see 40+ bloggers get featured!!
I love that I'm slowly finding other older women who blog about fashion. It's so nice to see clothing being modeled on real women. I just love it. Thanks for the tip. I'll start following Reva.
Definitely going to check her blog out.. Looks fabulous just like yours

Thanks for sharing - always nice to hear about fellow thrifting addicts! I'm looking forward to going back to my usual charity shops once I'm better.
