Colour my world, bigtime


Today I saw the world through orange-coloured sunnies, literally. Quite the experience. Don't try this if you have a headache as I bet it will hurt. Aren't these 1970s shades super funky? I found 'em for $1.99 at my favourite local thrift shop, Canadian Thrift.


I wish I could show you the sassy outfit I wore them with, but alas, I have no dedicated camera person to snap my looks. But you can see I matched the shades with my purse, a thrifted Matt & Natt beaut that's just perfect for the summer that we are now finally enjoying!

  1. I adore 1970s sunglasses and own a pair of rose-tinted ones! Orange seems to be unusual, you look great in yours.

  7. Let me rephrase this in a comment that applies to all you ladies, Thriftaholic (ok, you span the decades), This Free Bird, Vintage Vixen, Nelly, and Stacey Kay - you are all fabulous vintage 1970s style gurus, so a nod from you is truly a compliment extraordinaire! There really is something about 1970s sunnies (a term I picked up from you, Vintage Vixen and Nelly) that is just such an incredible style statement!
