This gorgeous skirt was gifted to me by blog friend come real friend Alyssa. I have worn it on the blog before but when I put it on this time I seriously fell in love all over again. I love that it makes an otherwise traditional outfit more exciting. It has definitely inspired me to check out the op-shops (thrift stores) this weekend after not having gone for a few months.
I took a vintage dress home on the weekend for mum to take up and she just shook her head. She doesn't understand why I like wearing old clothes that my grandma would have worn. I have actually bought two dresses from op-shops that my nan owned I wish she had have kept them so I didn't have to buy them haha.
What is your favourite op-shop find or vintage item?
Oh no I just noticed all the postcards on the cupboard that are falling down, eeck need to go and fix that up.
I think it's hilarious you've bought your Nanna's clothes! That skirrt is amazing a piece to keep for a long time. xx
ReplyDeleteThats so funny that you say that, I was looking through some old photos with my Nanna and she couldn't understand why I loved all her old clothes so much either, she kept insisting that clothes now were much much better lol.
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt, I really like longer skirts at the moment and that that one is beautiful!
Love your skirt! What a great gift! :) I need to check out my local charity shops too! There are Jem's just waiting to be found! :)
ReplyDeleteLove, Rachel
Gorgeous skirt! Love the print of it. And yes, those pants are from Cotton On Body, Agra pants. :)
ReplyDeletemy mom always hated when i wore vintage clothes too. she practically had an intervention with me when i started wearing these muumuu things (what? i liked the prints! :P)
ReplyDeleteMy parents also cannot understand how I wear clothes from charity stores. But I do so love my treasure finds. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours on that skirt!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite clothing find at an op-shop was this great brown knitted cardigan. I wore it so much until there was a huge hole in the seams. I don't usually have much luck with clothes but we did find an amazing vintage dinnerset once, I'm always hunting for more vintage kitchenware!
I love, love, love this skirt! It reminds me of glitter and confetti ... which obviously, reminds me of Alyssa!
