Love Betsey ...


Today after work I stopped by Value Village and picked up this little vintage Betsey Johnson number. It is silk with a corset upper body and fits perfectly...its very short which I like and has a 90s grunge vibe to it ...I have been searching for about a year, no joke, for something like this! It cost me a whole $7 with tax... every wednesday is 20% off for students so I got an extra discount off the already low price =)....take advantage guys (I dont know if that is valid in the US as well?)...the stockings are my pink la perla fishnets that I got at winners on sale for dirt cheap..probably the cost of a Starbucks latte which to be honest I have pretty much cut out of my life....Im trying to spend less on coffee and brew it at home

Dress: Vintage Betsey Johnson
Sweater: Wilfred (you guys know this is my fave sweater ever!)
Necklaces: Vintage
Purse: Vintage Chanel
Shoes: Aldo
Tights: La Perla

The dress is adorable. When you find something so cool for so little money, don't you just want to shout it out to everyone? The cashier, the girl working the drive through... Oh ya, and the purse is clearly a pretty sweet find too.

Awww life size doll. Fantastic find. I usually hit the Value Village by my school (Humber in Etobicoke) every wed for student day. I'm always pleasantly surprised - its a pretty untapped VV! hah I guess that comes with being all the way in Etobicoke.
Lemme know when your garage sale is! I'm having another one next month.
