Head to Toe Fall for $50!

Jeans, jackets, purses, shoes, scarves, shirts, dresses and skirts @ Value Village

The Challenge:
To find a complete fabulous outfit for $50.

The Find:
An amazing 'eurotrash' stylish outfit (complete with boots) that I love:


1. Marciano jeans (perfect condition AND already hemmed) $9.99
2. Upside down tank top shirt with ribbon detail, screen print and jewelled embellishment $12.99
3. Fake Prada purse (that I gave to a thankful friend because of my adversity to fake bags) $7.99
4. Knee-high Italian leather boots $12.99
5. Grey velvet cropped jacket $12.99

When I began this challenge of finding a complete, head-to-toe fall outfit, I could have opted for a cutesy dress and cardigan combo or 80s tapered pants and boyfriend blazer - but decided on more practical pieces that I could mix and match and get the most wear out of: jeans and a shirt.


Value Village has a huge selection of jeans, nicely organized by size, ranging from $7.99 to $9.99. The two pair of jeans I ended up buying - Marciano and Club Monaco - were in great condition and fit perfectly!


I passed up many colorful vintage pumps for these boots. Although they're a few seasons old, I could not pass up the $12.99 price tag for perfect condition leather Italian designer super high boots that'll look great worn over jeans or even with a dress.


I attempted to seek out the perfect 'vintage' boyfriend blazer but came upon this fabulous grey velvet cropped jacket for $12.99! I splurged on this trip and bought a second jacket - a snug, bleached zip-up jean jacket!

Value Village stores are all over the city - all with different inventory that changes constantly! For the best finds and deals you should try to peruse often.

Tights Fall 2009

The tights/legging trend is continuing its full-on popularity this fall as the masses have finally lost their fear of having fabulously coloured, decorative stems.


Most people CAN'T get away with all this color - stilinberlin.blogspot.com

More monotone - www.oslostil.com

On the runways for Fall 2009 (and in the nearest forever 21 near you), embellished tights are all the rage in tartan, lace, stripes and dots; stylized with legwarmers and chunky socks; and comfortably worn with shoes or boots.

A staple for any updated wardrobe though is solid color tights - for Fall 2009 try red and purple.

(I am so lucky to have received a box of Secret tights in the newest fall colors - including diamond weave, grey, brown, purple, magenta and red!)

Secret Fall 2009 tights cost under $10 and are so soft and durable - you can find them at department stores throughout Canada.
