On Friday the weather was foggy and cold, perfect for staying tucked up indoors. I used the day to do some general tidying, including going through my pile of "saved" clothes, carefully stored in my wardrobe. I had been saving the clothing to possibly sell on Trademe, or at one of the markets here in Melbourne. But when I looked through them again I realised there was a few things I wanted to keep....
One of them was this 100% silk dress I thrifted for a $1 at Colac in country Victoria. I was pretty excited when I found it (as I am about most things...) but once I got it home I never wore it due to its unflattering mid-calve length. I loped off about 30cm and properly hemmed it...what a difference it made! It will get a lot of wear, as silk always feels lovely, and the heart shaped mother-of-pearl buttons running up the back are so darn cute! I am very pleased.
Finally how sweet is this wee plate I picked up at Savers on Monday? I love the poem.
The dress looks great on you, its very flattering. But brrr too cold for dresses at the moment. Im rugged up infront of the heater atm.
ReplyDeleteI have a heap of things that I was going to try and sell maybe online somehow, havent heard of trademe, so I will have to check it out :)
