Thrift looks of the year: spring & summer

Couldn't believe I found this 1970s? Lucite-like and silver-tone chain at my local Goodwill for $6.99

In honour of the New Year I thought it'd be fun to take a look back at some of the looks I've created using pretty much 100 percent thrifted vintage and contemporary goodies. Enjoy! Tomorrow I'll do winter & fall!

SPRING: PUNKER CHIC. 100% thrifted! Teenflo mini skirt; J Crew wool blazer; generic black top; Nine West booties; vintage chain.
SUMMER: MARILYN MONROE. Cotton dress made in France; elastic vintage belt; vintage shades (shoes and necklace new).

SUMMER: MRS. ROBINSON. 100 % thrift! Wrap dress by Toronto designer Mark Foreman of the Bionic Women label; 1970s belt; white slingbacks; vintage chain; vintage shades.
SUMMER: CREAMSICLE. White wide leg pants; vintage chain; retro shades; sterling silver bracelet (top new and FREE in a press kit; purse new too but on sale!).
