The Anthology

Once upon a time

This shirt was a dress. I don’t have a before shot, but if you imagine what a hip grade four teacher would have worn in 1985, you get the idea.

My favourite thing about it? The tie-up sleeves.

vintage shirt mirror

This mirror’s from the Cross in Vancouver, by the way. The shirt/dress is from Deluxe Junk in Gastown. And the YSL belt is from Crossroads in Seattle.

Neon salmon

That’s how my sister described the colour of my vintage skirt.

I don’t know how my cat Getty would describe it.

But I do know she’s not happy that I woke her up from her nap.

It’s all about mixing and matching

I am obsessed with the way my friend Sonja mixes her rings — antique, brand new and completely redone.

The top one is an antique given to her by her husband. The diamond band in the middle was a gift to herself.

The bottom one is her wedding ring, which she recently had engraved by Era Design in Vancouver.

Outrageous or not outrageous?

Either way I love the ruffles. Found this bad boy at the vintage mall in Seattle.

Will be getting it altered (so technically this is a “before” shot) but I think I’ll leave the sleeves exactly as they are.

Take a look at the other dress I found that day here.
