Thrifting and Some Outfits!

Hi all,

Long time no see! Again! Ada and I are currently having the busiest semester of our lives, so it's been super hard to take good photos, edit, write entries, etc.  In fact, last week, we were so busy we completely ran out of food!  Nevertheless, we apologize for the absence and promise to upload more often. Promise.

So this weekend I went thrifting!  Here's my little haul:

From the left:

Black sweater sleeveless turtleneck - I have been looking for a sleeveless turtleneck top for quite some time now.  It's not really "in" at the moment, so not a lot of stores carry it. So imagine my delight when I flipped to this little gem, and it happened to fit really well too!

Hunter green v-neck sweater - nothing too special about this one.  It's super soft and fits nicely, and the colour is great for fall.

Oversized men's denim jacket - need I say more?

Black meshy tank top - I'll show this in an outfit post soon, it's a really cool texture and a steal at $3!

I have never truly gone thrifting before this weekend.  I have taken a peek inside the salvation army near my home once or twice, but have always been hesitant to really buy anything.  However, this time I went with a good friend who loves thrifting and he showed me his ways!  I love how some of these things are actually vintage, as opposed to the pseudo-hipster, overpriced "vintage" clothes they sell at places like Urban Outfitters (I hate to say it, but sometimes I get dragged in too).  It also makes me feel like I'm contributing to the social well-being of the planet, you know, by moving away from mass consumerism and reusing and keeping things out of landfills and all that.

Anyways, here are a couple of outfits I've worn recently:

Top - American Apparel

Scarf - Aldo

Jeans - American Eagle

Shoes - Urban Outfitters

I love fall, because fall means sweaters and scarves and tea and halloween and crisp weather.  This year, Montreal's autumn has been treating us particularly well with minimal rain and beautiful, mild days.

 I recently picked up these white canvas tennis shoes.  So 80s-90s!  You can pair them with pretty much anything from jeans to leggings to skirts.

 Top - Beyonce's Summer 2013 Tour (We. Love. Beyonce. Period.)

Hat - Blue Jays

Watch - Marc Jacobs 

Faux leather crop top - Forever XXI

High waisted shorts - Aritzia

Wore this outfit out one night to the club. Super comfortable since you're not in a skirt!

That's about it for now.  Over the next month I'll be posting some DIY halloween costumes and (hopefully!) some better quality photos once I fix my camera adapter issue.

Have an amazing week and Happy Thanksgiving to all of our lovely Canadians!
