It must be corkboard week! We popped into Vinnies Altona North this morning (it opens early enough for us to have a quick gander before work - yay!) and my partner picked one up for $3 - he uses them for pinning things to for spraypainting.
As for me, I finally gave in and bought this dress - it has been there for my last two visits and I just couldn't help myself - for polyester it has a lovely silky feel ($8).

I also bought this paisley-print cotton dress. It looks home-made, and it's either a large size or it's maternity - either way there's loads of fabric, and I am having upcycling ideas for this by springtime ($5)
There were two very similar opera-length black velvet skirts, both for $8 - I nabbed the one with the elastic waist ;-)
And having to take pictures outdoors (for the good light, you know) was just one of many excuses I found for spending time out in the glorious sunshine today!
I love the first dress! I love the pattern and the pop of the red, the collar with the bow is pretty neat. I love pussy bows on dresses and tops.
ReplyDeletep.s I love this blog, I’ve been following it for some time now. I absolutely love op shopping, and seeing what other people find! Looks like you found some great dresses!

I can't wait to see what you do with the second dress! Some people are so clever. The first dress is nice and the skirt looks handy!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the dress alterations either! :D
