All Over The Place

You get to see all the places I take photos around my apartment today. I first set myself up to take these photos against the brick wall out on my terrace. I wasn't particularly loving how the photos were coming out, and decided to move to the outside wall in front of the tree. It then started to rain. Heavily. So I ran inside and took a few more photos and just called it a day. So here are my all-over-the-place rather disheveled outfit photos.

Top - Thrifted from Value Village
Skirt - Thrifted from Value Village
Shoes - Fairweather
Necklace - Thrifted from Value Village

I bought this top and the necklace on a recent thrift trip, along with quite a few other goodies. The colours in the pattern go with a lot of my skirts and shoes which is great for remixing. Versatile shirt! Plus I like the little gathering-ring detail.

I'm pretty sure this necklace is vintage bakelite, but I could be wrong. It's definitely not regular old plastic though, that's for sure. And my little insect earrings went surprisingly well with my outfit.

Like I said, it started raining pretty suddenly. You can see the big fat drops on the patio stones. Less than a minute later it was pounding down rain and hail. Had I not just moved my camera into the shelter of the building, it would have gotten soaked. As thunderstorms are wont to do, this one raged and passed over rather quickly and it was sunny out not too long after.

Did I mention it was really hot and humid that day? 'Cause it was. Hence my hair. And the shiny face. I really love September, but the first few weeks are so darned wonky weather-wise.

Walking to work this morning, it finally felt like fall. I had my leather jacket on and there are leaves everywhere on the lawns and sidewalks and it just smells like autumn. I'm so excited for October. I'll be attending my 4th Zombie Walk, and celebrating my 23rd birthday on Halloween. And hopefully scoring some awesome fall and winter clothes at the thrift store on a planned trip with a friend of mine.

I feel good, I hope you're all doing good too. Cheers!

ooooh, love the pattern and colors on that top! and the necklace is beautiful :) I love that picture of you looking up at the rain!

So is your birthday actually on Halloween? That would be pretty fun growing up, I imagine!

What a beautiful outfit- I came across your blog from twobirds and what a coincidence- we're both Ottawa gals who love to thrift! How cool that you wrote a review for St. Vincent de Paul- I go there all the time (it's just down the street from me!)
