What do you think of my movie star sunglasses?I found them in an old hardware store on Danforth Ave. in Toronto for $3!
They're not new. The hardware store, Tracy's Hardware, has been around for 55 years. It does sell hardware but the window is full of second-hand treasures like brass Buddhas and 1960s Murano glass.
I couldn't resist these - purple too!
I wore them last night to the funkiest networking event I've ever been to, held at a drive-through storage facility in Toronto called All Canadian Self Storage and organized by Toronto area Business Network News. I paired them with a fab pink A.X.L. dress I found at ENDS in the Beach for $29!Funnily enough I tried the exact same dress on a few months ago at the same place when it was $10 more, but left it there as I didn't think it looked good on me!
I also found this ring - new - for .50 cents at another end-of-the line place on the Danforth!It looks so classy, doesn't it? I think it may be copper.
The lady said it's from Johnson's jewellery in New York but I'm still investigating. Looks like there may be a stamp inside.
I didn't get any pics of me in my amazing dress, but someone else did!Here I am with some Aussie football players at the The Aussie X booth.
I think I may end up on a brochure somewhere!
Sunglasses, $3; dress that would normal retail at $200: $29; necklace for a couple bucks at a garage sale - that's $34 for this outfit not including the silver leather shoes, which were part of a buy one get the second pair FREE so they were really $50!
I call that a thrifty shopping goal - or is it a touchdown?
