March was crazy, y’all. (Am I trying too hard? Probably. Sorry.) I LOOOOOVVVEEE Pinspired March but it does require a *bit* of time, and then there was a last-minute trip to Houston during Spring Break to check out the new neighbourhood with our kids, *not* to look at houses (er, we found a house), and the worst experience travelling home courtesy of Air Canada and its terrible service (er, never flying Air Canada again if I can help it), concluding with a novice hockey tournament and dog show. Oh, and solo-parenting. Relaxing times, I tell ya, but, being dedicated, I did thrift a little and I went to Adina’s awesome clothing swap, so I have some wares to share.
Scored this olive sleeveless blouse for $5.25 … Do you like how I ironed it before photographing? #not #thisisreallife I wore this with my black joggers, a jean jacket and a navy scarf on the way to Houston and basically felt like Miranda Kerr.LOVE stripes, LOVE Theory so was very happy to find this staple piece for $4.90 .Scored this gingham cardi at the swap so it was a big fat ZERO. I haven’t worn it yet but envision it with something contrasty. Or in a suburb. I think I can make both of those things happen soon.Blush-ish khakis for $4.20 – they’re my newest Melissa pants. xoxoxo I will wear them every Tuesday till I move, sniff sniff.Oxblood, burgundy WHATEVER-you-want-to-colour-them pants $2.80 to replace a pair that had more pilling than I’m comfortable with. #ihatepills #exceptmidolBut I also scored these oxblood-burgundy J Crew cropped pants at Adina’s swap and will enjoy them for work fo sho… until I move somewhere where it’s too hot for pants!!! (sorry)Talbots striped skirt $5.60 which I planned to pack for my trip to TX then didn’t. Isn’t it funny how thrifting changes your perception on price? As I was typing this, I thought, that is SURE expensive. ROFLDenim mini skirt $3.50.Though this is a mini, it’s long enough to be decent for a woman of a certain age (43).H&M maxi dress $10.50. It actually has two front slits and is very light and airy and can be worn off the shoulder. It wants to live near a pool.Anthro brand Fei silk “babydoll” charcoal watercolour slip dress $12.50 last seen here at the Houston Zoo. Enjoys warm weather and white wine.Chambray shirt dress perfection for $7.70. This one was missing its belt but who wants to wear a belt anyway.Vintage dress from Adina’s swap, scored from Shahna of @uincolour. I still don’t understand how it didn’t fit itty bitty her but it worked on me. Goes to show, you need to try things on.Miz Mooz pumps $15 picked up for me by Adina. They’re a little higher than I expected and I haven’t attempted a full day in them yet but how could I say no to them?!!!Fuchsia leather J Crew flats from Adina’s swap!
