Hi everyone, hope you have all been having a good week. Thank you all for the lovely comments on my last post, they were much appreciated while I was recovering from the disgusting head cold. However since then, I lost my blogging mojo a bit , so there was no Frock on Friday post from me last week. To offer some kind of compensation I am going show you two FOF and a few things from this week.
I have been yearning for a pair of those plastic booties with bows for ages. So I bought a pair and I did not get struck down by lightning or anything (breaking my "buy nothing new" pledge):
Orange paisley vintage dress - refashioned by me - with a thrifted Atmosphere cardigan, vintage necklace and bracelets. The cream choker necklace was a lucky find at Paperbag Princess (previously Recycle Boutique) closing down sale - it was $2.
This week I have taken a few photos - yeah, all in the same place in front of the back door with the key rack just sticking out of my head, or near enough!
Left: Osti dress with Glengyle cardigan, $2 each from Toffs.
Middle: Vintage velvet skirt, $2 Toffs with a black long sleeve top $2 from Hospice and a $1 waistcoat from Trademe.
Right: Red skirt Hospice shop $4, frilly shirt Savemart $8, vintage Glengyle cardigan from the St Vinnies.
Here's some close-ups of the jewellery:
Today, was un-furgettable. I wore my treasured Cordera coat. The label says "wraps you in luxury" and I sure felt special wearing it.
The coat belonged to my Husband's godmother and Aunty and I felt very special when I was given it. I am wearing it with a vintage Osti dress, another Toffs $2 bargain and the grey Glengyle cardigan. The necklace is one of those rainbow crystal ones, stamped made in Germany I think, which I found at the Hospice Shop.
I had about 2 inches chopped off my hair earlier in the week and I think its looking a lot tidier!
The weekend looks like it will be busy with a trade union meeting, washing and other domestic stuff. Hope you all have a good one,
bye

ReplyDeletehappy weekend x
I love Glengyle, I snaffled one from the hospice shop the other day. Nice cream necklace, I couldn't stand the mess in that sale so I had to get out of there. I saw that very same waistcoat on Trade me and would have bought it if it was my size. Looking forward to meeting up and our field trip!
ReplyDeleteI thought how lovely your hair was looking! Can't beat a good fake fur (although I'm glad to have a week or two of not wearing them!) xxx
ReplyDeleteYou had me worries when you missed last weeks FOF. I hope you've been okay? That orange paisley frock always makes me smile....isn't the print just so happy??? I love the osti dress with the black cardi, & the delicious fur coat over the pink osti. Your mauve beads are just like my collection of 'knuckle-bone' ones. Well that's what I call them. I was only thinking to myself how great your hair is looking too! I hope you have a lovely weekend. Sounds like it'll be a cold one there on Sunday! Xx
ReplyDeleteit seems you have the best luck thrift shopping! I need to take you with me next time I go shopping... maybe you'll be my good luck charm!
ReplyDeleteThe orange paisley dress is wonderful. Oh my goodness I love that rose skirt.
ReplyDeleteFuzzy fur coats are always perfect at this time of the year....gosh it's been cold.
Happy weekend.
Love v
Love that orange paisley print, and the velvet rose print skirt is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a faux fur jacket, and yes, your hair is looking lovely!
PS. Atmosphere is the Primark brand - do you have Primark shops in NZ? xxx
Yep love the orange paisley and the rose skirt - gorgeous both and Osti - my fav!
ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness! I love those bow boots.
