old is the new new, part 2

anyone who was in hamilton this weekend will remember the thunder and lightening of yesterday morning. honestly, claire (you met her in part 1) and i didn't really want to haul ourselves out of bed and all the way up the mountain to talize, but somehow we did, and i sure am glad, because it was one of our most successful thrifting outings ever (of which there have been many).

(please excuse the crappy quality of some of the photos, i didn't feel much like lugging my nikon along for the trip so cell phone pictures will have to do...)


i don't even want to tell you how long it took to try all of this on.


if you were to look in my closet, you'd find clothes in two sizes: xs or xl (or xxxl). wearing oversized shirts as dresses is a practice i employ every time i can get away with it, especially in summer. this men's waffle shirt was $6.99 and the belt cinching it was $2. i loved how thick the heel was on these boots, and they were only $7.99. awesome.


a sampling of the "new" shoes now in my closet.


another item taking up a good chunk of my closet is the little black dress. this one sets itself apart with some seriously cool sleeves. it was $7.99 and the clutch was only $1!


i absolutely love wearing red with neutral tans or beiges. these shorts were $4.99, the tank (100% silk) and the purse were both $2.99. these shoes were possibly my favourite purchase of the day, ringing in at $7.99.


keeping outfit posts coming in the summer is harder than i imagined it would be. most likely because spending any significant amount of time on campus just seems wrong this time of year. fingers crossed for more diligence in june than in may.

thanks so much to claire for being my photographer for the day!
