Now that I'm working in the hip section of downtown, I am feeling rather free to dress the part - the part being a semi-cool vintage bohemian hipster. And I can also shop at one of my fav vintage second-hand shops, CTS at 394 Queen Street West, just west of Spadina.
The lovely and infectious Nadia reigns supreme at CTS, her dominion being vintage glam at great prices. Not thrift shop prices, mind, but low, under $40. This 1970s maxi dress (handmade I'm pretty sure) made of highly flammable fabric, fit me like a glove and was $19.99. I'm wearing it with a 1970s necklace thrifted at Value Village for under 10 bucks. Perfect for the heat wave we've been having here in Toronto!
Loving those colours.
ReplyDeleteFantastic cut, j'adore! Le look est vraiment délicieux! Congrats on the new job, what a great way to start the summer! :)
ReplyDeleteSend me your address, I'm coming over. I want everything. x
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the pattern and how it falls!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nelly - like orange, I never used to wear these colours. Now I am loving them!
ReplyDeleteVeronica, thank you so much! I hope we can connect soon!
Tee hee Vix: shall we do a house (closet) swap? Wouldn't that be fun!
Thanks Six Balloons, you are right: I was struck by how nicely it falls too. Not bad for highly flammable (meltable?) 1970s polyester!
