Old Things: Me, My Clothes and My Outfits


I'm not sure if I'm feeling nostalgic because it's my birthday week or if I'm gravitating to older things in my wardrobe because I too am getting to be an older thing. Either way this past week, I've been dressing in some wardrobe veterans. I've updated them with some new accessories, but these are some items that have been in my closet for quite a while now.

Also there seems to be a recurring "3s" theme. I'm in my third decade, I'm leaving the age of 33 and here I am this past week in three outfits inspired by three different decades:


1950s




Oldie but Goodie: Vintage Blue and White Dress: Somewhere in Toronto. Had it for so long I don't remember where I bought it.
New Favourite: Vintage Peep Toe Shoes: Tree and Kimball Market
Tan belt: H&M

1960s



Oldie but Goodie: Turquoise Necklace: J.Crew
New Favourite: Vintage Navy and White Max Mara Fringed Mod Shoes: Thrifted
Orange Dress: DVF
Navy Cardigan: H&M

1970s




Oldies but Goodies: Vintage Jean Jacket and Vintage Floral dress: Jean Jacket: Kensington Market, Toronto. Dress: Mintage, Vancouver
New Favourite: Vintage Parrot Scarf: Borrowed from the shop. See here.
Brown woven belt: Club Monaco
Sunglasses: BCBG
Gold Sandals: Sam and Libby

  1. now that you are a little older make sure you throw out all the colours in your closet, keep the beige twin sets and below the knee skirts...and a little cross around your neck...oh hold on they are nuns...
