Hey Afaconados!
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while probably remember a segment I do called “Style Snatchin” (example here). In case you don’t know, a Style Snatch is quite literally taking (or snatching) a look you’ve seen someone else wear. I started doing Style Snatches because I would look at pictures of celebrities in the cutest outfits, wishing I could dress like them while knowing I couldn’t afford the high prices they usually pay for their clothing. So I re-created their outfits, swapping out their expensive clothing for comparable pieces that were much cheaper. But it doesn’t have to stop there…that’s just the tip of the iceberg. As all of us know, in Fashion, What Goes Around Comes Around. Style Snatchin helps to perpetuate that circle by showing you different ways to wear pieces you may already have in your closet! It gives you access to new ideas! 🙂
Well now, I’d like to get ALL of you involved in Style Snatchin! If you’d like to be featured on my site as part of Style Snatchin Thursdays, then keep reading!
Here’s how it works:
1. Create a picture of the look you’re snatching beside your re-created look. You can snatch the style of anyone you choose, celebrities included.
2. Submit your side-by-side Style Snatchin photos between Monday-Friday EVERY WEEK by sending them to me at jlynch@faconconnect.com. I will start accepting entries THIS WEEK FOR NEXT WEEK’S POST.
*Please make sure all pictures are in .jpg format
3. On Sunday, I will put all submitted names into a randomizer to select the looks I will feature. If you are selected, you will be notified via email.
Note: A randomizer is a site that takes a list of names and puts them in random order. I’ll be doing this to give everyone a fair shot at being featured.
4. The Top 5 looks will be featured in a post to be published on Thursday the following week.
5. I then ask that those of you who are featured inspire others to snatch your look by posting your Style Snatch on Instagram or Twitter and don’t forget to use the #stylesnatchin hash tag.
PLEASE READ: By sending me your pictures, you are giving me permission to use those pictures for the sole purpose of publishing them on this website. The pictures I receive will NOT be used for ANY other purpose other than to promote the post through social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). If I am ever asked by a third party advertiser to use any pictures I’ve received, the owner will be notified IMMEDIATELY.
To lead by example, I did a little Style Snatchin of my own for today’s look. I absolutely LOVE Jessica Alba’s personal style and knew I wanted to re-create this look when I saw it.
Here’s my Style Snatch:

And that’s how it’s done! I can’t WAIT to see all of your looks and feature you gorgeous ladies on Style Snatchin Thursdays!
So, who’s style will YOU be snatching next week?
Until next time!
