Spring!  Happy Monday and Happy Earth Day my friends.  A fitting day to wear an outfit entirely thrifted.  Wahoo!  Today I have the pleasure of being featured on the lovely Pippa’s blog, Shop with Pippa. Please click here to find out the answers to the following questions:  What is the item in my wardrobe that is least likely to be thrifted?, and What is my favourite thrifted spring purchase?

I’m keeping this short and sweet today, but is this not the prettiest street ever?

    That street truly is gorgeous! I can't wait for all the flowers to start coming out over here! And that is quite the unique coat–awesome that you got it second hand!

    Beautiful pictures! Your outfit is wonderful and that coat–wow!!!! I love it, great purchase. I think this is my new favorite.

    What a perfect Earth Day picture – so pretty! I love how you took a fairly dressy coat and made it more casual chic with your two ginghams. And all your accessories are just so fun – the scarf, the bag and shoes, and all those bangles! That green is a beautiful color for you. What a pretty and fun outfit to wear!

    Such glorious springtime colours, Sue, they look beautiful on you. A stunning outfit and the sight of the blossom on those trees is magical!

    What a great all-thrifted look! Love the shoes. And that tree-lined street is absolutely gorgeous 🙂 Great backdrop!

    Your coat and the color palette you chose spoke and called out to me. Refreshing, fresh Spring look.

    Sue, that the perfect outfit for spring. Each piece of it a feast for the eyes. The wonderful blooming alley it the perfect backdrop for it.
    You look amazing!

    What an amazing collection! Very nice indeed

  • Reply Shirl April 22, 2013 at 10:42 am

    Green and pink. One of my fav. combos. You look wonderful against the beautiful street background. I would say shoes would be my least thrifted find. But having said that, I actually do have a pair that are thrifted!!!
    That coat is an amazing find.

    Yes, this is the most beautiful street. Can I come for a visit? That first photo is the happiest Spring photo I have yet to see. Everything about this entire post is SPRING PERFECTION! Your outfit is absolutely fabulous, but that coat I soooo want (haha). I seriously think I need to visit so you can give me some thrift shopping lessons. Sue, you look stunning. Thank you for bringing much sunshine and joy to my day.

    A real breath of fresh spring air. How I love the blossoms!

    When we lived in Victoria we had streets like this. Sigh…I miss it.

    Your outfit is really pretty. Like a pink tulip : )

    Yes indeed! Pretty is exactly the word for you. The trees aren't bad either! Seriously, you look absolutely beautiful in this amazing outfit.
    Will pop over to see your feature ASAP but wanted to say HELLO! and to tell you I'm sorry as I can be that I didn't get back to your much appreciated comments from last week at my place. I'm so far behind!

    It looks like the street was styled just to go with that wonderful outfit.

  • Reply Jan Graham-McMillen April 24, 2013 at 8:19 am

    Had to stop back by a second time to say again how much I love these photos. And I just noticed the gingham with the glitter shoes … now I know what I love about this … you're Dorothy as Cool Girl, Not In Kansas Anymore!

    I just can't get over how great you look.
    Really.

    I was just in Victoria for a couple of days, and was thinking of you. The streets in James Bay and Fairfield are really beautiful right now. Victoria really has the prettiest gardens! It can be hard when you move to a different part of the country. I lived in northern BC for a few years, and really missed the green, and the warmth.

  • Reply Sue @ A Colourful Canvas April 24, 2013 at 10:14 pm

    Thanks Carelia! These Tommy pants are super comfortable!

  • Reply Sue @ A Colourful Canvas April 24, 2013 at 10:15 pm

    Thanks Alyssa. Guess what? I've got a new street coming up soon, that may prove to be competition for prettiest street.

    Aw, Jan. You always write the sweetest things. I bet everyone insisted that you sign their yearbooks. And, hey I'm behind with comments too.

  • Reply Sue @ A Colourful Canvas April 24, 2013 at 10:18 pm

    🙂 Hi Laurie. Actually, when I saw the street, I really thought about what kind of clothing would look pretty with it.

  • Reply Sue @ A Colourful Canvas April 24, 2013 at 10:19 pm

    Oh, that is so cool! I think I could be on to a theme here. One week Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables, this week Dorothy…cool Dorothy. Wait 'til you see my blue gingham.
