Okay, I know I’ve been talking about clothing this summer. And I’ve been saying that I’ll post photos. Yesterday I finally did it- I got out the camera & tripod, pushed furniture around (and around) and took many photos of most of the pieces I have acquired since spring. I didn’t worry about accessorizing (shocking, I know) or footwear (even more shocking!). I just wanted to get on with it! I am happy to share what I have, but please focus on the clothes and not my expression. I’m no fashion model and I felt kind of goofy just doing this by myself. The watch was from Avon a few years ago, the bare feet are mine. 🙂
So, I collected new pieces from these sources: Suzanne’s – a retail chain store, Bootlegger- chain retail store, Precious Earth – an independent ‘one-of’ retail store in downtown Regina, a clothing swap I was invited to, and It’s Worth Repeating – a second-hand clothing store in Courtice, Ontario. Oh, and a couple of things from Garage- a chain retail store.
Ankle pants- Banana Republic – 6, sparkle top- Papa – small. Pants from second hand shop, top from Suzanne’s. You can’t really see the sequins in the photo but they’re there. Also, the pants are a soft lime green. I think the colour of the wall threw the camera off.
Screen print top- Tribal- medium, pants- Candy Couture size ? I got the top for free at the swap and the pants at the second hand shop. LOVE that kind of purple!
Capris- Rafaella Petite – 6, shirt- Reitman – medium. Both of these were from the second hand store
This was my test shot for the camera. I don’t know where the skirt came from but I like it- the tie-dye design, the softness of the fabric and the comfort of the waistband. I bought it when I was much ‘fluffier’ so had to take a seam up the back of it this spring so I could still wear it. 🙂 The top is a Canadian label- JM, medium.
Back view of purple pants. The zippers on the back pockets had strips of purple fabric looped through the zipper pulls but I cut those off – too much going on. Have to confess, it’s kind of a new thing for me to be wearing skinny legged jeans.
Skirt- Onyx -small, shirt- Fresh FX – small; bought both pieces at Suzanne’s. The skirt is actually a cotton-poly shirt kind of fabric with an underlay. It has more blue in it than shows in the photo.
