I've just seen the funniest film ever made... It's called Mon Oncle by Jaques Tati and it's a French film from 1958. It's about a guy named Monsieur Hulot who goes around with his head in the clouds and causes all this senseless ruckus and it's basically hilarious. So watch it!! You seriously must....
I'm staying at a lovely hostel in Montara which is just south of Pacifica, which is just south of San Francisco. There is a light house here and an incredible view of the seaside.
Today was a "South of San Francisco Thrifting Day", as I liked to call it... I recruited a fellow hostelian to peruse the several thrift stores in the area (there are four in total) and the best one found was:
Senior Coastsiders Thrift Store.
I had a feeling this place would be a score for the sole reason that it has 'senior' in the title. This is ALWAYS a good sign when thrifting... Especially if you are a granny at heart like myself.
Here I am being a super fashion nerd in the dressing room... I found this fabulous vintage wool sweater with oversized eyelets down the front and around the hem.
... I definitely squealed with the delight that a only true fashionista can when she has found the perfect garment.
This is the full look that I ended up purchasing. I can't wait to wear these pieces together!
Although the scarf is actually polyester instead of silk, it will still be a versatile addition to my wardrobe and it's easier to wash. Score!
Tomorrow I'm heading up to the foggy city of San Francisco. It's definitely supposed to snow which should prove to be a wild experience... I am excited to check out more thrift stores up there as there are so many good ones. I MAY even reveal my secret hidden gem thrift store. But you all must behave and offer me treats and kind words so that I might be more willing to divulge this TOP SECRET information...
