Happy Birthday My Little Man

IMG_4962 IMG_4966 IMG_4974

Today is the day that my little bro came into my life 15 years ago! I remember the day like it was yesterday…I was eight years old and staying at my aunts when my mom went into labour….hours later I got the call that I had a baby brother and couldn't wait to get to the hospital to meet him… He came out with a full head of black hair…it looked like a toupee! I would post a picture of us but he doesn't want to be featured…haha…

We ate buffet….I filled up on lots of soup, salad, meats, carbs, fruit, and pumpkin pie ;) This weather has been so schizophrenic….we went from freezing cold yesterday to so hot that I had to take off my jacket today! I was wearing a vintage cropped jean jacket with this outfit but left it in the car because I was boiling… later passed by the mall with J and the little bro to pick up Kid Cudi’s CD.

On to the outfit: The skirt was picked up at Value Village recently along with the vintage leather bag I got a while ago. Worked out perfectly because the colour is so similar to these laced up Urban Outfitter booties I am wearing (which by the way are super comfortable!). The necklace was picked up at Nordstrom Rack when I went to Portland, Oregon for $7 ….for a silver necklace, I would say that's an awesome sale price! I love the thick cross and thin chain…all jewellery is vintage and my green emerald gold ring was passed on to me by my grandmother. It is very special to me as is all the jewellery that she passed on to me. My grandfather gave it to her when they first started dating. I should show you guys one day =)

Hope you all had a great weekend! xox

Shoes: Urban Outfitter, Skirt: Thrifted, Tank: Aritzia, Socks: H&M, Purse: Vintage, Jewellery: Vintage and gifted

This outfit would have been perfect it you hadn't have worn those ugly socks that look like they've been washed too many times and gone gray. Nearly perfect.

You're my thrifting hero. I like to see people recycle and reuse clothing found from second hand/thrift shops, or rescue new items that big stores couldn't sell. You are absolutely an inspiration for sustainable fashion.
