Sweater: Stitches $15, Scarf $5, Hat: Ardenes $7, Leggings: ?? (super old), Socks: Ardenes $4, Boots: Value Village: $15

Hi guys!!! I have been really motivated to keep up with my blog since I have failed miserably at it for the last year or more so I want to thank you so much for sticking around!! I made a schedule so there will be regular updates hopefully twice a week :). Almost my entire outfit is from one store which is kindof funny but I have been shopping there alot lately, I think I need to branch out to other places. Stitches can be super hit and miss, my canadian girls will know that but the one in my city just had some of the cutest fall stuff ever, I couldn't resist the sweaters!! My boots are probably one of my favourite thrifting finds I have ever found and that is saying alot. I went shopping with my friend for her halloween costume at Value Village and when I saw these hanging on the rack I knew I had to have them. I have very big feet (size ten or eleven) so finding a nice pair of boots my size at a thrift store almost never happens!! I find most boots no matter where you buy them last only one season so I would much rather spend $15 bucks then $150 for the same quality of boot plus these ones are actually real leather, um score!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and I will talk to you again shortly :)

P.S I through in the last photo as a blooper shot, it was so cold when my bf took these photos today!!!

Coat: Suzy Shier $35, Scarf: Gift, Pants: Value Village $8, Boots: Value Village: $20, Sweater: Forever 21 $13

Hello everyone!!! Now thats its got a bit warmer out and I found a place to take photos outside I have been SO much more motivated to take outfit photos and just blog in general. This is a picture of what I wore most days during fall/winter. I got this coat back in October and it has been one of favourites since then. I am pretty sure I got it for about $20 off or something like that, I just love the brown camel colour it is. My sister gave me this scarf for christmas and I have worn it almost constantly since then, I absolutely love animal print. Classes are completely done now and I have a entire week off before my exams start so my plan is to study and take lots of blog photos the next few days. I hope you all had a good weekend!!

Vest: Value Village $7, Shirt: Forever 21 $23, Jeans: Value Village: $12, Boots: Value Village $?? (i  bought them last year i think they were like between $12- 20 can remember!!)

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all are having a great time over the holidays. Holy smokes i haven't updated my blog since August which is yikes, uh five months ago, this year has been a bit crazy but over winter break i have been working on my blog since i really want to get back into it. I made a little list to summarize a few things that happened since i last updated:

What I Have Been Up To
  • I moved three hours away from home into my very own apartment and started university at the ripe old age of twenty :)
  • Went to buy a new cellphone for school and met my now-boyfriend who sold the phone to me lol
  • Met lots and lots of new people and made some great friends at uni
  • My first apartment then got a leak in mid October and half the kitchen ceiling come apart making me homeless for more than a month 
  • Had a wonderful friend who let me sleep on dorm floor for three weeks before i went home for two weeks
  • Half of my clothes got thrown out since they were ruined from my apartment (totally devastating!!)
  • Got really sick at the end of November and it turned out to be mono (sooooooooooooo not cool) still not feeling the best even now my sore throat keeps returning
  • Rediscovered my love for makeup tutorials on youtube and have developed a slight addiction to buying cosmetics now
  • Moved into my new apartment which i love immensely for many reasons, especially since it is right on the bus route :)
  • My grandpa died rather suddenly at the beginning of December :(:(
  • Barely survived midterms and finals last week but school is now done until January 7th so freakin excited
  • Been rewatching One Tree Hill and have gone through seasons 3,4 and am now on season 6
And that pretty much sums it all up!! I haven't been able to get photoshop on my new laptop so i edited these photos a little differently then i used to before, so bare with me i need to get that up and running. I found this vest in the back of my closet and i don't think i have ever worn it before. I remember buying it on a Value Village trip when everything was 50% off which was awesome  so it was about seven dollars. I wanted a fur vest for literally years but i always thought this one was a little short on me (ugh tall girl problems, eye roll) but i don't think it looks so bad now. The only problem with vests are they are to bulky to get under a winter coat but i think in March or April when it gets warmer i will wear it more, its definitely coming back to school with me. So since i went to uni my style has considerably gone down hill and i am embarrassed to admit there were a few times i wore jogging pants to early morning class, horrible i know lol. My style has changed considerably i wear jeans ALOT but i am hoping by getting back into blogging i will start to amp up the style factor a bit more, although i will always love my school hoodie. But I have realized one thing you definitely can make jeans/ pants look stylish which i never really thought before.

So over the last year or so i have progressively got more obsessed with makeup and now its like a full fledged addiction. I absolutely love watching makeup tutorials on youtube, not gonna lie i often get up, make breakfast and start watching them first thing in the morning. So i think i will start blogging about that as well and do hauls/ reviews of drugstore stuff since i know i definitely love to read that those. I tried out NYC Sunny Bronzer down below and i hated it when i first bought it but holy crap do i love it now, it just looked so awesome yesterday when i took these photos. I actually looked somewhat tan which is a miracle considering how pale i am in the winter. Have a great day everyone and a awesome New Years Eve!!!!

P.S I also changed my blog name a bit, i figured it was time for a change and i like it alot better :)

The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth

Jacket: Thrift $4, Tank Top: Value Village $6, Jeggings: Value Village: $8, Boots: Value Village $13, Hat: Ardenes $7, Purse: ??? (super old)

Almost a entire thrifted outfit!!!!! I love when that happens and as you can tell from my outfit description i am a very faithful Value Village customer. Although you can totally see the price difference from it and the thrift store in my town which is where i got my jacket from because it is so much cheaper. If someone had told me i would be wearing a cropped jacket of any kind a year ago i would sworn up and down it wasnt going to happen. I am pretty boxy aka no waist so i never found them to be remotely flattering on me but when i was shopping with a friend i found this one and she urged me to try it on. To my surprise i really liked it so always try on things you like but are a bit unsure of because you never know how they might look on!! When i found these jeggings at Value Village i got really excited because they were black and i dont think they had ever been worn before. They fit fine in the change room but the first time i wore them out, i dont have much a bum and they sagged... alot lol. So to fix that i just ripped open one of the seams, cut the elastic smaller and stiched it back up so now they are as good as new :). I just wanted to thank everyone for your lovely comment and I hope you had a great day!!
