New York’s Fall Fashion Week has come and gone—the last day was September 18—but the range of its runway looks are just beginning to appear in stores. From boxy ’80s-style sweaters and electric-colored leggings to feminine, waist-cinching dresses inspired by the ’40s, the looks are vivified tributes to fashion history. Here’s one Fashion Week look that’s definitely a splurge—and some inexpensive ways to recreate it.

Tia Thompson, 26
“I work for the government . . . blah!”

What she’s wearing:
Jacket and shoes from Treasury, shirt from Urban Outfitters, jeans from Guess, bracelet from a friend’s mother, who’s a European jeweler.

Where do you like to shop?
“I’m not into the mall at all—I’m into shops. I just moved here from being in the Peace Corps, I found this shop like three weeks ago, and I was like, ‘ahh!’ ”

Admission: Free, but a $100 purchase offered you an “exclusive holiday gift” and the chance to have a professional photograph taken with Tim Gunn.

Fashion Week may have ended in New York, but DC shoppers had no need to fear a dearth of fashion news—hundreds of budding fashionistas gathered over the weekend for the first annual All-Access Fashion weekend at Tysons Galleria, a three day binge-fest of shopping events, discussion panels, fashion shows, and sales to benefit YouthAIDS.

“Our goal is to bring the energy and fantasy of the fashion world to the Washington, DC metropolitan area to inspire and educate consumers while supporting a worthy cause,” said Kerem Kayserilioglu, general manager of Tysons Corner.

Who: Donna Harati, 21, and Trey Bussey, 22

Where we spotted them: On Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown on a post-dinner stroll.

Your outfits look like there’s a history behind them. Where is everything from?
Donna: “My shirt is from one of those special collections for Target. The umbrella is from Target, too. People have given me a hard time for it because they claim it’s “frou-frou,” but it’s the sturdiest umbrella I’ve ever had. My skirt is from the best thrift store ever in Austin, Texas—they’re all over the place there, so you can find really great stuff at really low prices.”
Trey: “I got the shirt at least seven years ago, and I’m pretty sure it’s from a thrift store in Phoenix.”

And all the accessories?
Donna: “My shoes were 99 cents at a thrift store in Cranks Creek, Kentucky, where I was participating in an ‘alternative spring break’ trip. The bracelets are from all over—I just wear them until they fall off or deteriorate. My bag was my mom’s. She was about to throw it out, I intervened, and I’ve been using it pretty much every day at school for five years now. My mom’s and grandma’s closets are my favorite places to find clothes.”
Trey: “The belt says “Arizona” on the buckle, and it has some nice weaving on the back. My mom gave it to me at the airport when I first left for college—I’m supposed to look down and remember my Southwestern roots.”
