Bright.

It's been too long between posts! Life has been so busy and unfortunately the blog is what has fallen behind.

I have recently got a new job, reduced my working hours & have a couple of spare hours here and there to do what I enjoy. Here is a short post of a cool little outfit I threw together (when it was a little chillier). I love the colours! All thrify items, of course.

The skirt was coming apart at the seams, so I had to get handy with the sewing machine (as per the last photograph) ...

 

 

 

 

 

Terrifically Thrifty!

Unfortunately life has got in the way and there has been less and less time for blogging.

This is a short & sweet post of an outfit I pulled together quite quickly that I think works really well together - terrifically thrifty really ...

My leather skirt is an Ebay purchase, my top is a mohair knit from one of my fav charity shops in my area and the scarf was a freebie!  

       

                          

Good afternoon!

Here are a couple of little snap shots of a few outfits I have put together over the last couple of weeks.

The photograph with the graffiti wall has me wearing men's chinos that I picked up for 2 bucks. I didn't know they were mens until I got home and checked the size! The jacket is also a hand-me-on my friend gave me many years ago. 

In the second photograph I'm wearing a pair of Target short-leg pants with another hand-me-on Zara jumper my friend gave me. The white shirt underneath is a $3.50 charity shop bargain.

The off-the-shoulder dress is a Sportsgirl find that I came across in one of my local charity shops. I wore this to the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week & it was brand new!

The final photograph is a Portman's dress I picked up for $8 with all tags attached. I wore a cardi (from Big W) over it, but won't need that for the upcoming warmer months!  xo                                                            

 

My favourite dress

My friend has currently ditched the corporate life and decided to study Beauty Therapy whilst working at Endota, busy girl! The bonus with this is I get my hair, nails & make-up done for a fraction of the price (fraction being $0!). She is super amazing & extremely gifted.

We decided to have a little photo shoot and we didn't even get through a quarter of the wonderful vintage items I have in my wardrobe! I have chosen one of my 'looks' of the afternoon, mostly because I adore the dress I'm wearing. I bought the dress from my favourite on-line Northcote store Dear Gladys, it is not-for-profit and has the most amazing vintage & contemporary clothing. I never feel guilty shopping there as it is for a great cause, Dear Gladys raises much needed funds to help women experiencing disadvantage to get back into the workforce. Win win all round really.

Thanks to Brigitte for getting some really fabulous snaps. xo
