We’re not fans of sticking to the “women’s” section in a thrift store. No, we’d much rather shop the entire store. Our bodies are all different shapes and sizes, and we’ve all got our own sense of style, so we say shop in whatever section you want! (If this sometimes includes the kids’ section, too, that’s totally fine!) On our last trip to SA Thrift, … Continue reading Thrifted Thursday: 06.29.17
To the creator of stretchy fabrics, we salute you! Haha. Remember when leggings came back in style a few years ago? Once we started wearing them, we just didn’t stop, haha. Our poor, poor pairs of denim. They never saw it coming. Jess’ dress is originally from Eclipse, but she bought it secondhand. It’s nice and stretchy and flares out at the hip. We love … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.18.17
Not sure how it goes for the rest of the world, but we get a nice day around here and basically think it’s Summer. Until the following day, that is, when it drops back down to freezing. One nice day’s good enough for us to bare our legs and pack up the puffy winter jackets, haha. All very premature on our part. Breaking news: Jess … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 04.13.17
Anyone else get super annoyed when it’s snowing in Spring? Or is that just us? It starts snowing in November, and we’re like “Well, Christmas is next month, this is totally fine”. And then in January and February we figure, “We live in Canada. It’s Winter. We’re obviously gonna have snow. Because it’s Winter.” And then the moment Spring begins we immediately become snow-haters and … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.23.17
Ever turn an upcoming event into an excuse to buy an outfit….even though you know very well you probably won’t make it to said event? Jess bought this Nicole Miller dress back in 2011, “for a wedding” in Australia, haha. A wedding we never ever attended. So, here it is, finally having its moment in the spotlight–just six years later. Jess’s dress (does this qualify … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.16.17
We’ve been home for a week now. We came home with twice the luggage we left with, haha. Funny how that happens, hey?! We found so many pretty secondhand things in Australia. (In our defense, we only bought about a quarter of what we wanted to buy and bring home, haha). (We probably spent just as much on burgers as we did on clothes). Thrift/Secondhand … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.02.17
It feels pretty sweet when you score designer duds at thrifty prices. Which is what happened this past week, thanks to the super-duper flea market-esque sale Model Citizens had on the go. As much as we drool over what walks down the runways at Fashion Week, our lifestyle just doesn’t support that kinda price tag, haha. (We’ve actually walked away from a couple dresses at … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.26.17
We spent much of Tuesday afternoon browsing the thrift shops in St. John’s. We’re typically rushed on Tuesdays, since we’re often going here and there picking up trunk-loads of butter, flour, and icing sugar. We had some extra time this week, so we spent it browsing the secondhand racks literally hanger by hanger. What usually happens is whoever’s wearing the least complicated outfit is on … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.20.17
Spend enough time shopping at secondhand stores, and eventually thrifted finds take over your closet. That’s what has happened to us, anyways. We love getting inspired while browsing and sorting through the racks at thrift shops. It’s like a feelgood (and good-for-the-environment) treasure hunt. This year, we’re dedicating Thursday posts to looks created with secondhand clothing. We’ll even try to add in some footwear and … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.12.17
