The Delia Style
This issue’s style influencer is none other than freshman Delia Jablonski. Delia and I share a special relationship, as she’s my boyfriend’s sister—and like a little sister to me. I’ve known Delia for nearly two years, during which her style has grown and evolved. Traveling with her and her family has shown me just how fashionable she is. Although she describes her style as “pretty basic clothing,” she occasionally opts for a “summer-y” look during the school year. Delia said she “tries to get in a bunch of different styles on different days” to keep her look fresh. Her biggest style inspiration is her friends. “I always look at what they’re wearing,” she said. If she had to choose an aesthetic to base her outfits on, it would be the “downtown girl aesthetic.” She admits she doesn’t own many clothes that fit this style but admires its vibe. The clothing item Delia can’t live without is her jeans. “I have this one pair of baggy jeans I really like, and an Aeropostale zip-up hoodie I love. I wear it with so many outfits,” she shared. Her wardrobe is mainly composed of cotton and polyester fabrics.

Delia’s closet mainly consists of clothes from mall chains, Target, or Amazon. She shops at Aeropostale and occasionally at Common Threads in Fairview Park. Delia is creative—she plays the violin and draws when she’s not focused on her wardrobe. She mentioned the fashion design class she’s taking at Lakewood High, where she’s currently making a cute summer top. She said, “I’m considering getting a sewing machine because I feel like it was really fun, and it’d be convenient.”
Moving on to jewelry, Delia said she is “a silver girl.” Recently, she has been wearing the same necklace every day—a beautiful gemstone with a small pendant in the center. Delia also enjoys stacking other necklaces, usually beaded ones, with it. If she hadn’t lost all the beaded bracelets she makes, she would wear them frequently, too. She has pierced ears and recently got them double-pierced.
The Spring Break Texas Trip Style
Welcome back to another edition of The Accessory! This time, the format is a bit different. Delia and I recently returned from an exciting vacation in Texas, where we stayed around Dallas and visited Blue Hills Ranch in Grapevine. Instead of focusing on a specific style, we’ll be sharing a detailed breakdown of an entire week’s outfits, including the stories behind each piece—whether thrifted, passed down through generations, or purchased online.
The first day’s outfit consisted of the top from SHEIN and the pants thrifted from Value World. The outfit cost around ten dollars—about three for the shirt and seven for the pants. The outfit was primarily for comfort, suitable for the transition from cold to hot weather, and wasn’t meant to be a fashion statement.
Day two’s outfit features a shirt from SHEIN and thrifted pants from SHEIN as well. The ensemble cost around $11, with the shirt at about $7 and the shorts at roughly $4, purchased at Value World.
Day three’s shirt, from the brand Anxiety, is a nostalgic piece that I’ve tried to find online without success—similar shirts exist, but not this exact one. It cost about four dollars since I already owned it, having inherited it from my aunt in the 90s and my mom in the early 2000s.
Day four’s outfit is fifty percent thrifted. The shirt, from Double Zero, was thrifted from Value World. My shorts have been in my closet since I was about twelve or thirteen. While I don’t know the exact cost of this outfit, I estimate around fifteen dollars—since the shorts were purchased full price from Target’s kids’ section.
The final outfit is made up of the same shorts from the day before and a cute shirt I got thrifting while at Flower Child on Clifton Blvd. The shirt was pricier compared to the other pieces of clothing I got thrifting. This shirt was a bit pricier than my other thrifted pieces, costing about fifteen dollars on its own. While I love Flower Child, it’s a more expensive thrift store.
