a) I like
b) fit properly
c) are quality-made or
d) all of the above.
Which is why I get really excited when I do find something that ticks all the boxes. The winners are usually vintage items as they are well-made with beautiful fabrics (except for the polyester-knits era) and are cut for real women's curves.
Remember how I recently confessed my addiction to Etsy shopping? Read on to see the results of my latest armchair retail therapy sessions.
A beautiful ultra-feminine floral silky dress for Spring. I love the olive green and indigo colour palette. Try your luck for something similar at LouLou's Vintage. They're not cheap but quality they are!
A more casual number for Spring is this sweet cotton dress from Vera Vague. Full skirts are perfect for hiding those wide (child-bearing) hips and so cool to wear in hot weather. I love them.
I sure wish that I had this cabled-knitted, beaded beauty when I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago. I can't believe the perfect condition of this 1950's glamorous cardigan. I'm sure I will wear this for the rest of my days. Also purchased from LouLou's Vintage.Do you want to see more vintage and flea market finds? Let's pop over to Sophie's at Her Library Adventures.
