There were a lot of benefits to growing up in the suburbs in the 80s. However, as a self-described alternative girl, interesting clothing choices was not one of them. As soon as I was old enough I was heading downtown, into the big city (yay, Toronto!), scouring Kensington Market's vintage row to find things that reflected my own unique, nostalgic perspective on fashion.
Of course, the 80s were a long time ago and I'm no longer a shy but headstrong teenager with the time or patience to spend hours looking for that perfectly quirky outfit to wear to school the next day. I'm now a shy but headstrong woman whose body may look a little different but I still want things to fit, to be comfortable and to make me look great.
