seems like a great majority or my tights are from my mom, and no wonder, i go out shopping downtown on the hunt for 3 simple items today:
-high waited, but short!, black pencil skirt, perferable bandage looking: the closest i come to is too long and dont like the fabric for 25 at Urban Behaviour and the spot on what I really wanted is over 100 dollars at your local BCBG, greeeaat...
-and 2 pairs of tights, creamy lacy looking and sheer white with flowers [after i saw a girl on the bus there with a pair], and boy! tights are DAMN expensive at Fancy Sox, why doesnt my mom just have a pair :(
but on my solo adventure downtown [where i seem to be a lot lately], i have again come to the realization, and now more than ever, that... OTTAWA SUCKS.
get me out of here please its such a snoozefest, theres no personality, no pizaz, theres nothing to do! and the shopping is terrible, every time i do come across nice little stores the prices are outrageous! whats a girl without a job to do! [though i have been planning on working downtown actually haha], but yeah, i left pissed off and empty handed, maybe shopping just isn't my thing anymore [but i want clothes :( ]
maybe i just need to get better at thrifting as well, i did come across a fantastic vintage store right here in Ottawa [can you believe it??] its called Ragtime and its on 43 Flora Street, really worth stopping by
i agree with you I HATE OTTAWA!!! everything here is just soo expensive. What i also hate is that even the vintage stores are pretty expensive. also i love the dress, can't believe its from winners. C:
ReplyDeletei hate when vintage is expensive! im like come oonnn its second hand! haha, but yeah check out Ragtime if you already havent, pretty amazing. and winners is awesome! because they only seem to have one of everything haha, depends how lucky you are thoughf or actually finding anything awesome
