this sunday was spent going around the car boot sales, where i found the MOST PERFECT velvet blazer! so instead of spending the $55 i was going to spend on one at a local upmarket vintage store, i only spent $5, don't i sound cheap!and the other bonus was the cheaper jacket fits me better!yay!
and the boyfriend also had a good day, he got his bday pressie a month earlier..a fold-up bike, which he wants so he can take it on the public transport in Melbourne...he was so excited i thought he would wet himself!
The dress above is one i have shown before, but it is so flattering and i am still in love with it....
it was about 10 cents from the recycling centre..i found it ON THE FLOOR, where they seemed to be using it as a mat!but after a good wash it turned out to be a lovely floaty cotton dress with an embriodered neckline..and POCKETS!i love pockets.
my feet nearly died in these shoes, i have discovered that a few hours on the booze is different to a whole day sober when it comes to wearing high high shoes!
yesterday i henneaed my hair, it takes about three hours but it is so worth it..
and i listed a whole PILE of stuff on trademe, at $1 reserve, so hopefully i will get some money to add to my 'getting to australia' fund!
You found it on the floor?! Tehehe. And well done on scoring the velvet jacket mark 2. Defying temptation to buy the expensive one meant rewarding you with the five dollar version!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable! Any chance of a link to your listings so I can have a look see?
ReplyDeleteThe colour of that dress looks fantastic, it sounds like your awesome with second-hand finds! Oh how I want that skill. I'd like to see the blazers, velvet blazers are such a great look and what a steal!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good feeling when the vintage gods are good to you that way.
