Thrift Thursdays, Happy Halloween

Hello Everyone, 

I 'm back with another edition of thrift Thursdays for all my budget fashionistas out there. If you are one of those individuals that regularly get into the theme of Halloween, you may know how expensive it can be to find that perfect costume. However, it does not have to be that way, if you keep these three words in mind: creativity, vision and confidence.

This year I decided to be a nurse, but with a twist. The average nurse costume on Halloween is usual quite sexy, I went for a different approach, paying tribute to the early pioneers of the profession. No make up, and no glamour. Everything was thrifted or we already had it in our closets. Full credit goes to my little sister for this costume, it's actually hers but I loved the concept. You can also add red dye or paint your face to make the coustume scarier.

Plaid Full Skirt- Thrift Thursdays

Hello everyone,

I had a wonderful opportunity to partner up with some great bloggers to present to you thrift Thursdays. The theme this week was grey, and as you can see I responded to the challenge. This season, full skirts have been one of the hottest trends out there, that anyone can easily wear. I'm only 5'2 1/2 and petite, however it still works for me. 

Two weeks ago The Salvation Army Thrift store was having a $2 sale, I went with the intention of buying dress pants only. Instead, I walked out with a bag full of stuff, which was not exactly part of the plan at all, and no dress pants. In the bag of goodies was this awesome full skirt that I styled below. The skirt is wonderful because it's right on trend with it being plaid . I also loved the neutral colours of navy blue, grey and cream.

Lastly Happy Toronto Fashion Week to all my Toronto pals. Unfortunately, I have not been able to make it to any of the shows, but if I did I would have rocked this outfit for sure.

Until Next Time,

Sincerely miss j

Long time no see

Hello everyone! I know! How dare I leave everyone hanging for so long, and how crazy of me to build this little corner on the internet and abandon it like that. Well, I can explain, at least I think I can. I have been hiding in the real world. Unfortunately, I was sick for awhile, and was consumed with an endless stream of school work.

So, I'm back with a quick outfit post and also to announce that sincerely miss j is now on twitter! Please follow me at @sincerelymissj or click the twitter button on the right of the screen to follow.
Today's outfit is very causal, and pretty effortless. This hat from H&m was a hit, I had 3 people ask me where I got it from. Unfortunately, I got it last season. Well I shall be back soon!

 

 

Until Next time,

Sincerely miss j

The Cord Sweater

Hello everyone, it's that time of year again, it's time to bring out the sweaters and jackets. However, for me it's also that time of year, where I can frolic around with layers of clothing and no one can say a thing. I always have the tendency to layer clothing throughout the year because I'm always so cold. Even a breeze has me running for cover because I'm freezing. Today's outfit features a cord sweater which I got at Goodwill, and have been wearing a lot these last few days. It came in handy layered on top of a denim shirt and dark washed denim jeans. It's a simple, causal outfit that anyone can achieve.

Until Next time,
Sincerely Miss J

Pretty Pleats

Hello everyone! It's only Wednesday and I'm already feeling like my brain is about to explode. Even as I write this, I'm trying hard to retain all the information and readings that I have been doing for school. So, I always find joy in being able to switch the subject, to something more pleasant such as fashion, and this pleated skirt. I scored the skirt at Winners when I was there a few weeks ago, it was the pleats that did it for me. Hope you guys enjoy the look.

Until Next Time,

The slow Transition

Hello everyone, I am back with another outfit of the day. The weather here has been a bit unpredictable, so dressing appropriately is very challenging. It's cold and then it's hot. I have been multitasking lately with school, work, and placement. However, I will always find time to keep up with the blog.
Although, its after labor day, I'm still going to wear white. That's right I'm a rule breaker! So, I broke the rules and wore white pants to transition myself into the fall season. I paired a cute snake print button up that I got at Winners  with neutrals to give it more of a Fall look. Hope you enjoy the look.
P.S I got bangs, I love them but I always feel like something is constantly in my eye so not sure how long that will last for.

Until Next time,
Sincerely Miss J
