outfit | a storm brewing | Margot Meanie wordpress

My lovely friend gifted me this fabulous hi lo skirt she picked up from h&m last summer. And though I’m bummed it didn’t work out for her, am I ever glad she gave it to me!! I received so many compliments and I felt both ethereal and powerful with the way it caught the wind.

I totally heard the Imperial march from Star Wars in my head as walked about thrift shopping and then eventually down to Storm Brewing where we took these photos.

Let me just tell you real quick about Storm Brewing, they are Vancouver longest running craft brewery, they started waaaay way way before the craft brew boom hit Vancouver. But not only are they fantastic and grungy and they stick rats on things { I’m standing in from of the rat mural that was a recent edition on the outside of the brewery } but the brew master is a little something of a mad scientist! If you get the chance, check out their facebook page to get a gander of some of the “brain storms” they create. We were headed down for the pineapple paradise pilsner, which is easily the tastiest beer I have ever tasted, but they also rock flavours like whiskey vanilla stout, mojito pils, and cinnamon bun ale. They sometimes have misses, but its worth it for the wins.

ok, enough about beer!! Here are some of my scores from thrifting on Saturday! I couldn’t get them all, sadly the booties and kitties didn’t come home { the kitties broke my heart, as I’ve mentioned them on the blog before, but they were just a smidge too tight and life is too short for wearing shoes that will make your life hell } but I’m super happy with the three that did come home!

In other news, my Cool Gal Blue collection launches THIS FRIDAY!!! So be ready with your wallets come 5pm Eastern time! I am so very excited, the pieces are all so lovely!
