A trip back home just wouldn't be complete without a trip to Giant Tiger, Canadian discount retailer extrordinaire. As you can see, the whole gang was pretty excited to do a good 'ole GT Boutique shop!!
I normally find heaps of cotton-blend apparel in the summer at GT. I was a wee bit disappointed this time round, though, as a lot of the fall knits were mostly acrylic. I don't mind acrylic when it's mixed with something else like Lycra or Spandex, but on its own: ick.
The one exception would be something like this acrylic toque, $7.49. It's purple (very Grunge Queen) and has these cute silver threads throughout. Kinda Marc Jacobs grunge with a touch of glam.
I love wearing toques in the cooler months. So long as they have some little embellishment - one I picked up a few years ago had these darling sequins - they are completely doable.
My Mom didn't find anything this time round, nor did my niece (but most of her wardrobe, if it isn't thrifted, is from GT!). A family pal found some tops. So a GT Boutique success, all in all!
