Twiggy-boho outfit

Preppy look, begone: this is an outfit I put together as a result of a second-hand jaunt along Mount Pleasant Rd. in midtown, Toronto.

Love the boho-esque dress I picked up at Act Two boutique at 596 Mount Pleasant for $30.

Owner Inga carries mainly high-end vintage couture, but this isn't a designer label or anything.

I paired it with a pair of Gerard Darel shoes from Paris, practically new, that I found the same weekend just down the street from Act Two, at Second Nature Boutique at 514 Mt. Pleasant.

They were part of the summer clearout sale and were five bucks!

I thought the floral white stockings (that I got at a sample sale last spring) were very Twiggy-like, a la 1960s.

To be sure, the look isn't mod Twiggy, more bohemian inspired.


I rarely wear earrings these days, but I picked these ones up recently at a new antique shop on Keele just at Dundas St. West in the Junction called Mr. Antico.

They're vintage 1970s and I love them - they actually match a pendant I picked up for cheap recently. Not sure if you can see them but they sport a paisley motif with a bird.

This is a different look for me, but it's a pretty girly look and it was nice for a change - I will be bringing it with me when I go on my England trip!
