I’ve been buying clothes from Annie Thompson for years (probably close to twenty) and in that time I’ve gotten rid of no more than about ten items.   I wore one pair of pants out and have sized myself out of a few other items – though of course I’ve hung on to most of them in the hopes that someday…..

For January, I decided to do an “outfit of the day” project on Instagram featuring the various outfits I have and have put together over the years.  One of the best things about Annie’s clothes is that they express a singular aesthetic vision.  The vision grows and changes but the basic DNA of it stays the same.  This means that a jacket you buy in 2000 will go very nicely with a top you buy in 2010 and a pair of pants you buy 2015.  Everything is made here in Toronto so the clothes will last for years.

My good friends at The House of Pomegranates came over and took some photos so they’re a step up from my own awkward selfies.

Just search #30daysofAnnieThompson on Instagram and you’ll find me.
