Maybe I have a wee cat-that-ate-the-canary look here (ew, what an awful expression!) - but how was I to know this thrifted silk dress ($4.99) would work out so well for me?
It was 'new' - ie: never worn, still with a Winners tag on it - and I thought I'd give it a whirl as it was so feminine. It totally worked with my Michael Kors boots (NOT thrifted but purchased years ago), vintage carpet bag and vintage belt.
I accessorized with crochet tights, a thrifted wool J Crew blazer and a thrifted designer scarf.
Voila! I am so in love with this outfit - love how the flowers in the bag complement the dress, and love how the bag is large enough to accommodate all kinds of stuff - most of the vintage carpet bags I've found are small and old-fashioned in size.
I'm lovin it! CM
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! You styled it great, I want those boots.
ReplyDeleteE :)
Thanks MyRealitty!!
ReplyDeleteVintage Sweetheart, those boots cost me half a month's rent (on sale) six years ago but they were sooo worth it!
Good job Grunge Queen. Keep it up. you're styling
ReplyDeletehey remember the 2010 Toronto Bottle Show? That was great. And was followed by the 2010 Toronto Costume Jewelry Show and that was great too... as I recall. It was a whirlwind antiques and collectibles blogathon.
We should do all that again someday soon, as you can see i need something to blog about
Rob, thanks. I'm not that interested in the bottle show this year but the Toronto Vintage Costume Jewellery Club (which I'm not part of anymore) is having a sale this Nov. 27 at Leaside Gardens. I'll be there at some point with some gal pals I've planned to go with.
