Every now and then we make plans that just don’t work out. Didn’t get to shoot any blog photos last week. Then we made a completely spontaneous and last minute decision to head up to the cottage for the weekend. Which I thought might give us potential to make up for the lack of blog content, but it rained up there all weekend. Which in a way was kinda nice in itself…but a bit disappointing as I now fell even futher behind schedule for posts. We still had an amazing time hanging out and watching the rain from the inside, drinking vintage wine and watching countless Trailer Park Boys episodes…but most important of all just disconnecting from it all and taking some time to unwind.

We attempted shooting on Saturday, but our timing just would not coincide with the on and off again rain. Then on the very last day (wearing this bohemian look for the ride home) and having accepted defeat from a blog photography perspective, somehow on our way home we as we captured this magic. The timing of everything was uncanny, even down to seconds of time which aligned perfectly to make this happen. It’s amazing how sometimes things can turn around so quickly even after we have accepted what appears to be the  way. Thus reminding me that sometimes you just gotta go with the flow of things, and trust that things will work out, even if you yourself don’t see how.

I really like pink and blue together. It’s a colour combination that I revive every summer, if not even all year round depending on my mood. There’s just something fun about the contrasting mix that I really love. But stripes are kinda new to me. While I’ve always owned stripes I’ve never really worn them.

Although this top is actually on loan from my mom who wanted to donate to the blog cause. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to use it, but to be honest my love for the side slit far outweighed my disdain for stripes. In the end I liked the nautical look so much that I went out and purchased a few striped accessories (anchor tote bag and hat). So I’ve become one with the stripe now. How about you, are there any trends you weren’t that into at first that ended up growing on you?

One trend I am really enjoying this summer is pairing a crop top with a full skirt or high-waisted pants. It’s a great way to reveal a little bit of skin while keepin’ it classy. Now don’t get me wrong, every outfit has it’s occasion and there’s nothing wrong with baring it all in the right setting. But for a dinner date night this outfit had me feeling trendy without showing off too much skin. 
 
Now, the skirt. When I saw it I was immediately drawn to the baroque style print as I hadn’t seen a floral print quite as exquisite as this in a while. I must mention that this skirt was spotted during a thrifting session and it was a tad bit too big. However, at $7.49 this skirt was coming home with me no matter what. Typically I would have worn it with a white or black top but decided to be a bit adventurous for myself (as I tend to prefer sticking to monochromatic dark hues) and paired it with a bright pink fuschia top that I’ve had for ages. 
 
What about you, what are some gems you’ve found while thrifting?
