Thrifting Thursday!

-


Until yesterday, it had been absolutely ages since I'd last been to an op-shop/thrift store!  The last time I went to my local stores, it was highly unsuccessful and I came away empty handed.  Yesterday I was in a different part of town, so I decided to check out the big Lifeline store there.  It was a huge store with lots to check out.  I had forgotten how much fun it can be rummaging through the racks looking for treasure!  

This time I had success!  I bought the pretty paisley skirt I wore today (below) for $7, several beaded necklaces and two cuffs.  I was very happy to come away with some vibrant and fun accessories.  It was so much fun doing some spontaneous shopping yesterday, that I suspect this weekend I will be seeking out more op-shops around town! 
The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: W Lane (thrifted)
Shoes: Tie dye Chocolaticas by Hot Chocolate Design

Bangle: present from Mum (Scotland)
Bag: Rockmans
How cool is the bangle above that Mum bought me recently?  There are little pink plastic roses inside! 

Necklace: thrifted yesterday


Op-shop buys from yesterday!




Isn't this bangle fun?  I love the bold colours and of course I love cherry motifs!

I didn't have time to get a photo of Amber wearing one of my new necklaces, but rest assured, it won't be long!😉


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    Haven't you done well at the op-shop? Love the skirt you found, and what a fabulous array of beaded necklaces, too! And your Mum really does have the greatest taste in jewellery: that bangle with the roses is simply divine! Have a wonderful weekend, Sasha! Hugs xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! I really did do well, didn't I? You're so right that my Mum has the best taste in accessories! I'm a lucky gal! ;) XXX

    You found such great pieces at the opshop! I rarely find pretty necklaces, but I went to a new store the other week and while I didn't see many clothes they had a great jewelry display so when I have more time I might go back for a browse! :) I really like the cute skirt you got too! :)

    Hope that you are having a nice start to your weekend :)

    Wow you certainly hit the jackpot with accessories at that store. I'm thinking that maybe another visit might be another successful outing. I love the skirt as well. I'm thinking you need to look under your bed as I'm thinking Amber is hiding from having to wear so many necklaces!!xxx

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asi...

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Burgundy & Beads!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new ...
