How strange...U still can't?
Erin Wasson Builds Her Own Shelves
When you need more closet space and you’re Erin Wassson, what do you do? Certainly not call a handyman. The model turned designer takes building matters into her own hands, gets out the power drill, and watches the mouths of boys drop. ”Why hire somebody to do something so simple?” she said. “You just have to have big old power tools.”
Everyone knows and loves the personal style of Erin, and even if it’s exactly your look, we’ll bet there are bits and pieces of her look that you embraced into your own fashion mantra. Day after day, she’ll appear in an outfit that consistently draws attention from street style blogs and editors alike. So just how does she do it?
It’s all a mix of vintage finds, personal alterations, designer pieces, and fast-fashion. ”When you can take something that is a reject at the thrift store sitting on the bottom of a pile of junk and make it work, make it look interesting, that’s real style to me.”
Now, not everyone has designers as their best friends, but with a bit of perseverance and attention to your wardrobe, a closet like Erin’s is slightly attainable. Troll the vintage stores, especially those outside of NYC, stock up on random finds, and don’t be afraid to alter items to make them your own. After all, if Erin taught you anything, it’s that style is all about being personal and individual.

Erin Wasson Likes Her Denim Capris Splattered With Paint
Erin Wasson attended the Isabel Marant store-opening dinner last night wearing cut-off, paint-splattered capri jeans paired with sheer socks that came with an orange stripe at the top. The model once said her look is inspired by homeless people.

10 Questions with Erin Wasson
1. What's the strangest thing in your closet?
I think people find it weird that I have a lot of long antique-lace dresses that I wear with boots.
2. Whom do you most want to have lunch with?
Dolly Parton.
3. Do you remember the first TV show that impacted your style and identity?
My So-Called Life or Laverne & Shirley.
4. If you could meet your teenage self, what would you say to her?
Hang in there and just have patience--everything will be all right.
5. Where's the best place you've been this year?
I spent New Year's in Garzón, outside José Ignacio, Uruguay. It's a totally awesome, crazy hippie town with tepees.
6. What's your idea of happiness?
Sitting on my front porch in the Hill Country of Texas watching the sunset with an iced tea in my hand after having just ridden a horse.
7. Are you involved in any charities?
I had a huge garage sale and raised $8,000 for Utah's Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

T.I. and Rihanna's "Live Your Life."
9. How do you hope to evolve as a designer?
I want to create a lifestyle niche for that cool girl who's really into fashion but not too obsessed with it. I'm focusing on my Low luv jewelry line right now and doing more accessories.
10. Whom would you most like to style?
Britney Spears! I'd love to pull out her hair extensions and fake lashes and get her in her own skin for once—something raw and beautiful. Call me up, Britney.

Inside The Manhattan Vintage Show (Where We Ran Into Erin Wasson, Shopping For...)
Katie was in the middle of a heated battle with herself over whether she should splurge on a hot pink satin Chanel handbag or, um, eat next month (don't worry--she shall not starve!) when we spied one of our favorite models, Erin Wasson, wandering around among the vintage baubles. Obviously, I accosted her to find out what she was shopping for (you're welcome)...
In addition to her line for RVCA, Erin designs her own collection of jewelry called Low Luv by Erin Wasson, and she was on the hunt for some cool vintage pieces to inspire her (and add to her own enormous collection). "It's actually the first time I've been in town when this show is going on," she told me, "and it's kind of overwhelming. It's just massive, I can't believe how much cool stuff they fit into one room." She was trying on a very chic weathered-bronze cuff when we ran into her. "This piece right here is blowing my mind," she said. "I love all of this 70s mixed metal jewelry."
