We’re currently en route from winter in Newfoundland to summer in Australia…via Vancouver, haha. It made packing a single backpack a little tricky, outfit-wise. After one evening in Vancouver, we realized we didn’t bring enough layers with us. So we got up the next day and headed to our favourite Vancity secondhand treasure troves: Value Village and Front & Company. We were saved by Free … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 02.02.17
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

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
I’m not one for making Resolutions on January 1st. Have I made them in the past? Yes. Have I kept them? Hell no. Until 2015. Last year I finally did it–I finally kept a New Year’s goal for the entire 365 days. Last year, I made the decision to only buy clothing from secondhand shops. There were a few exceptions: undergarments, activewear, footwear, and Christmas … Continue reading Why I Thrifted in 2015
I say the cheapest way to enhance your wardrobe is to borrow from someone else’s, haha. (Word of advice: Never borrow a sister’s brand new pastel pink top and drop an inky black pen on it. It’s a bugger to remove–might as well just buy her a new top). I borrowed this sheer printed top from Mom’s closet, and the thrifted mens camo shirt from … Continue reading Borrowed Kinds
