I’m trying to get some more wear out of the dres I’m trying to get some more wear out of the dresses in my closet this winter by layering with turtlenecks and sweaters. Here I paired a me-made sleeveless linen dress with my @tradlands Monty turtleneck in grey stripe (gifted). On top I added my @good_night_day Kenora toque that I made with the leftover wool from my Nanaimo cardigan. This whole outfit is giving me very witchy vibes - all I need is a broom 👻 🎃 #slowsimplestyle #slowfashion #simplestyle #capsulewardrobe #memade #memadestyle #sewing #sewcialists #sewcialist #knitting #knittersofinstagram #ilovelinen #tradlands #tradlandspartner #tradlandswornwell #wornwellcollective

This outfit combines two of my most favourite piec This outfit combines two of my most favourite pieces that I think I’ve ever thrifted. First, these vintage ecru straight jeans that have just the right amount of stretch. They’re so comfy and fit so well that I find I’m constantly reaching for them! I found them probably over a year ago now and if I remember correctly paid no more than $8 for them. They have a few stains and it’s clear they were worn and loved before I came along. My second favourite is this quilted jacket which was a more recent find for $5. I couldn’t believe that a beautiful condition, navy quilted coat in my size was sitting on that rack, and for that price! I’d been looking at sustainable brands with a much higher price tag for a while. It has a fleecy lining on the interior and in the pockets which make it such a great transitional piece. I’m very grateful to have found both of these - though in some ways, it sort of feels like they found me!

I’m especially loving the Minnie Huggie Hoops which are the perfect snug fit - I haven’t taken off since I got them!
