As you can see by the Palm Tree-like plant behind me, my glorious trip to West Palm Beach is still lingering in my consciousness, though my fake tan is fading like a Florida sunset.
In keeping with the beachy theme today I donned a top made by Toronto designer/Queen St. West retailer Preloved, which has recently opened a pop-up shop on the Danforth around Greektown.
Preloved fashions tops, dresses and other funky ladies' garb from reclaimed vintage fabrics - sweaters, tees, and even sleeping bags by the looks of a dress I saw there the other day!
This tee has that 1990s look to it, but the asymmetrical neckline and tight fit make it more contemporary. You can't see but the black is all black. I love the purple fishies.
The three-strand chain necklace, meanwhile, is by Toronto costume bling designer Gay Isber. The chunky chains are from the 1970s, 80s and 90s respectively.
Rock n'roll meets beachy chic a la vintage re-do: gotta love it.
P.S. Forgot to say huge cocktail ring is vintage too - $6.99 at Goodwill!!
