My eyes are shut here - maybe because I'm dreaming of the perfect thrifted outfit?
Not! That's because I'm wearing it! I thrifted this 1990s-esque (possibly 1980s?) jumper dress last year in Toronto for under 10 bucks. It's a deep navy blue with a wee green and yellow paisley-like pattern on it, and it reminds me of something Phoebe from the TV show **Friends** would have worn. I'm wearing it with a tee I thrifted for 3 Euros at the thrift shop I told you about last time.
You may notice the bag? That's my distressed SAS handmade in Texas "everything" bag I showed you a while back, purchased on Etsy and found in my mailbox last week - love!! It just so happens to go with my equally distressed (and thrifted) Kenneth Cole boots - yay!
I found the 1970s red-rimmed sunnies in Toronto with the original tag still on the lens. Locket is vintage Avon found in a Toronto vintage shop - it used to have perfume inside!
Shoes and necklace: new and bought in Annecy.
Not the most flattering pic, but flashback! I think I had this exact same dress in the 1990s: long, flowy, slightly shapeless, and with teeny floral patterns - remember? I got rid of all these dresses when more form-fitting and less fussy styling came into being in 2000 or so - major regret! I found this in an Annecy vintage shop for 18 Euros - not the cheap and dirty pricing I'm used to in Canada or the UK but ahh, what's a girl who's groovin' on the 1990s to do? I will wear these dresses with jean jackets, big scarves and booties when the weather cools a bit ... Maybe I'll even splurge for a cropped leather jacket like all the girls in Annecy are wearing ....
See how versatile my 'new' bag is?
The necklace was dug up this weekend at a Vide Grenier - will show you a close up soon as I went home with a good haul and I have to show you all of it!
Have a fab weekend every one.
