My thighs look like tree trunks but I'm trying to ignore that for all these fab reasons:
1). I was modeling second-hand duds found at and styled by the vintage goddesses at Common Sort in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood. Owner Nicole Babin buys, sells and trades second-hand and vintage clothing and accessories, and she has this amazing blog where she posts pics of her customers modeling her wares. Fun eh? She's multi-talented as she's also a fashion photog and snapped the photo of me, above, and all the pics on her blog.
2). The shorts are by one of my fave Toronto designers, Franco Mirabelli, who has been making gorg women's styles for 25 years (found in specialty boutiques across North America and in his three Toronto boutiques, Mirabelli). His clothing is to die for (see that lime green tee in my header? That's by him) and he sources most of his fabrics from Italy AND he manufactures in Toronto AND he's just an all round nice guy.
So how could I resist when Nicole (left) brought me her lovely stylist (pictured right, whose name I can't remember), who in turn brought me these (1990s?) shorts? Well, dear reader, I couldn't. And I was having so much fun with the Common Sort gals (see post from last week, below, on my Common Sort adventure with gal pal Marsha), that it was all for the fun of it any way! For a run down on the rest of the outfit, all second-hand, follow the Common Sort link at the top of this post.
No tree trunks just sexy legs lol seriously!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You look like a supermodel! Such a great outfit seriously. And I lovingly (or not) call my legs carrots. Small at the bottom and nice and wide on top ;)
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are brilliant! I love them. Your legs DO NOT look like tree trunks; you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that sofa. The button tufted backing always reels me in.
ReplyDeleteTree trunks? Get away with you! You look absolutely fabulous. Those shorts are something else. xxx
ReplyDeleteI knew it was you the second I spotted the shot on their blog. P.S.: Must revist the notion of tree trunks with you when we finally meet, dear G-Q! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, ladies, thank you, I was being silly about the tree trunk comment but you know how it can be as you age and your gams aren't quite what they used to be!
ReplyDeleteYes the shorts actually are darling, high-waisted and great fabric, as is Franco Mirabelli's signature! And the sofa, I agree, was fab - love the retro ones that are super dooper long like this one!
Thanks for kind words, each and every one of you! It was fun!
