just calculated and i’m proud to say that between bargain searching, thrifting, and sample sale-ing, this entire outfit cost me under $100.  having one of those moments when i feel proud that my sale hunting actually pays off!

based upon the use of red, white, and nautical, this is also my tribute to canada day.  which, yes was yesterday, but i actually took the day off work and enjoyed it!  spent the morning patio brunch with a girlfriend, did a bit of shopping on main street, picked up some more people to hit another patio for drinks.  then ended it with a double date at the canadian’s baseball game and fireworks extravaganza.  didn’t realize how badly i needed a day away from work and it sure turned out to be a really awesome july 1st…eh!
