Thrifting - How to: Put Together a Variety of Thrifted Items and Friday Instagrams of the Week

What an incredibly busy week this has been! Here are the photos from my adventures this week and more posts to come soon :) Just over a week until I leave for my big two week trip! 

The outfit below is an entirely thrifted outfit.  I didn't even realize it until I had to write about it.  I found the jean jacket for $5 in Japan and the rest of the outfit came from Treasure Seeker Colleen in Vancouver. Thanks Mum!

Here's a few tips for how I put the look together below:
  • A high waisted skirt with a print can be overpowering - a heel of some sort is a must to lengthen the look
  • The focus of the look is the print, so keep the rest of the look neutral
  • The jean jacket gives it a more playful and fun look, but it could also look great with a crisp white blazer or blouse
  • High waisted, long skirts can be dangerous - balance out your frame by showing more of your upper body (eg. tank, strapless, sleeveless, capped sleeve)

Happy weekend all!
