Well, yesterday's jumble sale certainly came up trumps! The lady in charge has taken a real shine to us and held back a bundle of hand-made skirt suits found in the loft of a wool shop that closed down back in the late 1970's.
There's a certain granny-feel about these crazy acid bright creations but with the right accessories I quite like the vibe. Each suit set me back 70p and the immaculate vintage faux fur coat was 40p.
What do you think of my new sunglasses?
They're vintage Ted Lapidus and I spotted the white pair in a local charity shop this morning priced at £3.95. After I snaffled them the manager mentioned he had a second pair in the back and that I might as well have them for free as they were "a bit mad". Apparently they're Nicole Ritchie's glasses of choice and the replicas retail at £140.
Possibly the most beautiful shoes I own, bought with vouchers so technically free.
Happy Friday, readers! Special big love to my dear friends, Jem and Helga, fellow fearless dressers and vintage fashion fanatics. If you haven't checked out their blogs yet why the heck not?
wow, that is a stunning soft looking jacket! what a great find for 40 pence!, You could sell it for a hefty profit on ebay...great finds.

Hi Vix, those skirt suits are wonderful & the fact that they are handmade just makes them even more wonderful in my eyes, in fact you can't get much better than that :)
ReplyDeleteThe sunnies are totally wicked, I'm not surprised at all that they are popular in celeb circles, very retro & very very chic! How nice of the manager to give you the other pair free.
40p for that faux-fur....seriously we are going to have to invent a new word for 'bargain' when it comes to your super duperly cheap & supremely chic finds cause 'bargain' simply does not cover it!
Hope you will have a lovely weekend & thanks for the mention, so very kind of you my lovely :)
