The best things in life are free

One fun part about this whole resolution is I get to share my vintage escapades with some of my work colleagues, who enjoy seeing what I bought (when I wear them to work) and some of whom are into vintage themselves.

Last week, one of my colleagues told me that she had brought a vintage item into work that she no longer wore, and asked if I wanted it. She brought it over to my cubicle for me to view, and I couldn't say no! A) It was free, and B) it was awesome. I made darn sure she was willing to part with it before taking it home. 

I welcome to my growing collection of vintage, a funky 70s dressing gown!

Who says nothing in life is free?

Comfy soft coziness all the way to my toes - it even has a little front pocket! At first I wasn't exactly sure what type of garment it was, but after a bit of online searching, the most likely answer is a simple house-dress/dressing gown for lounging and/or sleeping...or for life on a hippie commune (one day...). Vintage lazy-Sunday indoor wear at its finest!

A free piece of Canadian fashion history from an awesome work colleague? Priceless.

Merci beaucoup, S.W.! J'adore.
