Old Stock Exchange

I can't think of a better feeling than stepping outside on the first day of fall and feeling the crisp air, the sun shining above you and the excitement of a new season all around. That was the case this morning and honestly it was perfect . I was going to take the subway but decided to walk the 25 min instead to enjoy the moment.  The start of a new season is always exciting, mainly for fashion. I always feel the most creative in the fall, maybe its because we can layer more so outfits become more interesting. I have more fall hats than I do summer ones so I always get excited when I can start wearing them again. This particular hat is one I thrifted about a year ago and its my first time wearing it... I still can't believe I found this hat at a THRIFT STORE for a couple of dollars. It's in perfect condition and it might now be my new favourite hat. As for the outfit I am wearing this 1940s peplum top that ties in a tiny black bow at the front (Etsy). I paired it with this midi black wool skirt that I also thrifted. I actually debated getting rid of this skirt but I'm glad I kept it! I'm already picturing other outfits I can make with it. It was a cooler day so I layered a black cardigan over the top. For accessories I wore black t straps and a 1940s popcorn bag that I got recently at the Ian Drummond studio sale. 

You are probably confused by the title of this blog post but the doors I am standing by at the doors to the old Toronto Stock Exchange. The building was built in 1937 and at the time it was considered the most modern stock exchange in the world. Now its the design exchange which helps promote Canadian designers. Luckily the original  building still stands and is one of the few Art deco buildings in Toronto. I was walking by and the doors matched my outfit perfectly. It feels like I stepped back in time. What are you the most exited about for fall??
