P.I.M.P




MJ Inspiration.The black bustier under the blazer is a recent purchase from Sally-Anne $1.99, i has super fitted and extremely tight boning in it...looks great under sheer tops!The White Blazer is a vintage army jacket that my Papa used after serving in the second world war. I haven't worn it yet but it has great structure and should pads, the gold medallions and cuff-links make this one of my most cherished possessions. Sequin pants seen in previous post. This ensemble is a definite dream and cant wait to find an occasion too pull it out!


JACKIEO. LUUUVE LUUUVE. I bought this kelly green dress a few months ago $7.99 Sally-Anne. I had no where to wear it in the near or far future but i had to have it. The structured shoulders and flowy sleeves give it a Retro-Bo-HO feel. I think the dress is from the 80's but it has a 60's flare that i like! I paired it with a braided brown belt to give it more shape but it could be worn loose with some extra sky high heels!


ThrowBack. The cream vest seen here, i bought in 2005 at value village. I have got a ton of use out of it! but I have never worn it done up on its own. I usually wear it as a layering piece. I paired it with a pair of men's wear crop pants that I cuffed, too make more fancy!

DiamondsAreForever. The crush navy velvet blazer with diamond buttons blingblig, i have had since i was little, its a little snug but pulls a causal outfit together perfectly. It as puff-princess sleeves and is cropped quite short. I paired it with a loose white tank and an old pair of Levi rolled cut-offs and brown braided loafers seen in previous entry. I have to say that when it comes to shopping In the past I was definitely a quantity over quality kind of person, but with solid pieces like this blazer I am becoming more of a one nice piece at a time buyer.

HootyHoo. The owl necklace. I bought this necklace about three summers ago. I have got so much use out of it, it was gold but now has a brassy vintage feel to it, its quite heavy but it add so much flavvva. the navy top is a plus-sized silk t-shirt blouse, Sally-Anne $2.99. It has small golden yellow leafy patterns on it. it looks great with leggings. Here i have paired it with jean cut-off and a vintage navy belt with a huge gold buckle $0.99. the belt is wide and fitted it adds structure and balance to the oversized top. Brown leather slip on loafers looove them, have worn them everyday basically since I bought them. MARION PUSHED ME INTO A PILE OF MUD AFTER HOCKEY GAME, they may not recover. mother ffing cheap fake leather.

PreppyPretty.I don't usually go for overly feminine outfits but I like to mix tailored items in with more casual pieces. I found this stretch high-waisted blue skirt at Sally-Anne in Spring 2007 $3.99, it fits tight but is long a slimming. I paired it with a men's three-quarter lengths black cotton top Value Village $1.99. When it come to accessory like belt and bags I always always choose brown leather.. I try to break out of the habit but i just feel brown has a more causal Bohemian feel then black or white. I love this jumbo brown belt, i use it all the time to belt over sized tanks. The white leather pep toe bowed flats are from The Richmond night market $4.99, they are very girlie and have a Chanel like feel.
