This is very cute! I understand where you are coming from, my town is the same way, everyone dresses the same! Clothes can definately define who you are, more unique they are, the more unique you become! Check out my blog: foreveryoungdaniellem.blogspot.com. i tend to have some stylish posts:) and definately dont be afraid to go to thrift stores, you will find lovely items!

really love this look, i think that all of the neutral hues go well together and that the white top contrasts well w/ the other dark pieces.
about bargain shopping- i actually am like the queen of clearance! check the stores where you live if they have clearance racks. i hear thrift stores are fantastic places to get vintage pieces (and that vintage pieces are often made very high quality)!
