You're Never Too Old to Play Dress Up!

Remember when you were small and played dress up with your mom's or grandmother's clothes? I do! I remember wearing my mom's old 1950s hats and purses with my friends. How grand I felt! Many years later, I feel no different especially when I wear vintage! Today I feel like a Parisian Flapper aka Louise Brooks. Thanks to Ashley from Fringe Salon  in Simcoe, she has once again outdid herself and has 'flapperized' me by creating the perfect 1920s bob! However, the pièce de résistance is this wonderful vintage dress from Astral Boutique. Sasha is always inspiring and her pictures of this dress made me fall in love. I could picture myself strolling along a Parisian street, having coffee at an outdoor cafe while violin music played in the distance. Vintage clothing lets you go back in time and never gets old!

Flapperized!

You are never too old to play dress up!

What I Wore Today

Today is apparently known as the 'saddest day' of the year for people. Well with people receiving their credit card bills in the mail, days upon days without sunshine and sub zero weather for most of us up here in the northern hemisphere, January has all the ingredients for one to get a case of the blahs! This doesn't have to be the case though! Fashion can get you out of the depressed state and change the way you see the world. Today I surprised everyone with a vintage colour block dress in vibrant royal purple and fuschia pink. My colleagues at work were all mostly wearing black but I definitely stood out! For my students who must live among a daily dose of green and black coloured uniforms, pink and purple was the definitely the 80s blast from the past everyone needed to brighten their day!
