Hi Ladies!
First and foremost, please check my daughter Izzy's blog, she was invited to Montreal Fashion Week by the biggest blogger in Montreal - The Montreal blogging crowd is finally discovering her!
I think she is one of the best blogger in Montreal, now they have to discover the Mom who created such a styling genius:)
This post will be about 2 outfits i wore this week and some thrift finds at that lovely charity shop at the Presbyterian church downtown i discovered 2 weeks ago. I was on my way last week but it was closed due to the nasty weather we had.
I will take advantage of that marvelous discovery since i will not be able to go back when i returned to work in March -
Be assured that thrift shopping will continue when i returned to work, no way i will give it up! anyhoo, i am addicted, i need my fix!

All those items were thrifted except for the boots which were on sale for $10 at H&M
I wore the skirt before, so versatile and comfortable
Pretty funky,but it is my style!

Ariane I am in love with both of these outfits, but the second one with pink and blue, two of my favorite color combo's, is so cute!!! I love the little capped sleeves and the boots totally make the outfit! Those gloves were worth every penny.
Your style rocks my world!
XOXO~

I love the monet brooch! Your style is so unique and colourful, i love it!
You are like sunshine on a cloudy day, Ariane! Your outfits are lovely, colorful and creative, and you look great. Love those boots, in two different colors!
I like your outfit with red skirt and touch of green :) Plus, you find some really cute jewelry ;)
Love your red skirt and the thrifted gloves.
I have on a thrifted black lace blouse and a thrifted Coldwater Creek cape. :)
Beautifully colorful as usual. I have a glove collection, and the blue gloves are magnificent. You are very unique and talented.
Always colourful and funky, Ariane, and these outfits are no exception!
The bag and gloves you found for Izzy's wedding are beautiful. The thrifting gods will deliver the hat and shoes, never fear!
Great jewellery finds too. xxxxxxx
Again...I am in love with that lovely pearly purse and blue gloves, and request that if you ever tire of them...you ship them to me :D

Your colours are pow! It's raining here today, again, and to see colour is uplifting. I love your style and foot accents! I saw some boots at H&M, like yours, but, boo hoo, not my size. In the second outfit, I like how you added the scarf. Great thrift finds too - I think I feel a shopping urge coming on... The gloves and bracelet are my faves. Dare I say I must go to church - to shop?
i love that first look of you, polka dots and red, a skirt couldn´t be any more perfect and the sweater is so cute! and i adore your new blue gloves!
love and kiss,mary

Oh wow, I love your boots. I would love to have some of the bright green ones or the blue for that matter. What great thrift finds.
I love your colorful outfits.
I do remember those coin purses. They were quite handy. I don't usually have much change on me any more, I use my debit card so much.
love the second outfit very much. great colours...

You look stunning, I love your style! I will go and check out your daughter's blog. Thank you for stopping by, I am following you right back! I just went out and found that it's snowing here again, we haven't had so much snow in Rome since 1985. I guess in Montreal you are used to it, here it's a disaster. But Rome looks lovely in white!
I love your funky style!! also love thrifting :)
Thanks for stopping by and following. I am now following you.

Oh, I do remember those coin purses. Of all your thrifting finds, the brooch of grapes is my favorite. So you will continue thrifting once you go back to work, but how will it affect your blogging? And congrats to Izzy!
She's your daughter? My mind is absolutely blown! Congrats to her.
Hi, Ariane!
I love your light blue gloves!
I like thrift shopping, too.
I live in Shimokitazawa there are many thrift shops!
I visited Izzy's blog now, and I was suprised!
She is great!

I read about Izzy - i can only imagine how excited you are.
And that first outfit is perfect, i would wear every single item - except the boots, but is just because i am not a boot person as its so hot here all year round there is no need for them.
Hope you get Discoverd too!
Thank you for your comment. Mais peut être que je peux parler français ? ;)
J'adore les chaussures et bravo pour les tenues colorées ! :)
Love that multi-colored bracelet and the Monet brooch is gorgeous! As usual, your thrift finds are amazing. Hay, I wish I live near you. ;)
cute skirt and i like your gloves!
