Hanging out in Victoria, BC with nothing better to do, I accepted a challenge from my sisters to do a few lookbook posts only wearing my mom's thrift and vintage clothing. Jackets and shoes can be mine (since our sizes are different) but everything else should be borrowed- and here's one of the looks I came up with.
Shirt, Belt and Skirt: Vintage and Thrift from my mom
Shoes: polished with soy and hand sewn by a Nunavut vegan
Jacket: 100% hemp and blessed by a Rastafarian during a ring of fire ritual
* disclaimer: origin of shoes and jacket may or may not be accurate. But
it sure would impress the hippies here on the west coast.
For the next few days I will be busy with meet ups and going to Vancouver to celebrate New Years Eve. So have a great NYE everyone!
I think is a great outfit!!...Thrift stores got really cool stuff...but I do admit that even if I like them I also fall for the brands hehe

Aww you look so "cozy"!! I think you look great!
ReplyDeleteYou should be smiling because you look great, even in your mom's clothes! But what the heck is a "Nunavut vegan" and do I want one touching my shoes??? Sounds like you're surrounded by hippies--blink twice if you need to be rescued! =)
ReplyDeleteI hope the New Year finds you happy, healthy and with lots to celebrate.
Nice job! That skirt is beautiful! Enjoy Vancouver, i used to live there and miss it so much!

LOL you're hilarious! I think this look totally works on you though. Love the plaid paired with floral--it's an unexpected pattern combination that looks surprisingly good.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Can't wait to hang out with you tomorrow!
Oh, as fashion lovers, we are all a little bit materialistic. Your mom has amazing style though! Wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat look! It's nice that you and your mom can share clothes. I'm excited to see what else you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI think you are one of those people that could wear anything and look beautiful in it:)
ReplyDeleteAwww based on this outfit and what you used, I must say your mom has fabulous style!! I love how you took her look and made it your own. It seems great style runs in the family, whether it be thrifting or brand new. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fab new years eve!
I am in love with the skirt...and beautiful hair color...is it your natural color??
ReplyDeleteI wanted to dye my hair for new year hahahha!!!
