What I Wore Wednesday - Feeling a little Blue

Today's outfit was built around this new Forever New prom skirt I bought a week or so back for around $30 while they were having a 50% off the marked price sale (gotta love that!)

I love the pattern, the poooof-i-ness and above all else, that is is basically spring personified.

For all you Toowoomba bargain hunters out there, Lifeline on Anzac Avenue has 50% off all clothes till Friday. You better get there before I do and take all the good stuff!

I'm finally able to share our new house in anotehr post later this afternoon. Stay tuned!

What I Wore Wednesday

Good afternoon/good evening and goodnight ... sending hellos to all wherever in the world you're reading from. Are there any readers from outside Australia?! I'd love to hear from you - remember anyone can leave a comment!

Today's outfit is an op shop and retail blend. My favourite item is this tangerine (Roxy, that's for you!) Jane Lamerton cardigan that I picked up from a fantastic charity shop in Toowoomba named Orphans and Widows. The stock comes from fancy-pancy suburbs in Brisbane is is VERY reasonably priced. This cardigan is currently being sold in Myer for I'd imagine at least $80. This was $10 and appears unworn. The fact that it was a size 14 didn't deter me at all. So many other good quality brands are available and most items are $10 and under. If an item isn't sold for six weeks or so it moves up the back to the $2 section!

I'll be frequenting this shop much more often ... they have vintage too!

Remember, my giveaway is open till midnight Friday. Go and enter!

What I Wore Wednesday - 70s heaven

Saw this little beauty in Lifeline the other day while shopping with the husband and snapped it up quick smart. The price? $3.50! Beautiful fuchsia colour and straight from the seventies.

So looking forward to this weekend - a weekend with my bridesmaids in the country. It shall be a hoot.

Game of Tennis Anyone?

Thought I'd share with you all a couple of the many goodies I've picked up over the last week or so at my favourite kind of outlet - an op shop or garage sale.

First up, is a dressmaker's model snapped up at a garage sale for five dollars yesterday. It is the perfect accompaniment to the sewing machine that mum and dad bought me for my birthday : )

(now I just need to figure out how to use it!)

The other super special item is an old tennis dress with the sweetest peter pan collar and little tennis appliques. It was three dollars from Lifeline and all it needs is a bit of napisan action to bring it back to life. I hope to wear it in winter with tights although it looks a little short.

Pop on over to Sophie's to see lots of other thrift action.

What I Wore (Retro) Wednesday

Welcome to another instalment of  What I wore Wednesday! Today I decided to showcase one of my recent Lifeline purchases. The fit is pretty good but man the arm holes are small!

I'll be contacting asos today about this bloody belt! I just received this dress in the mail and thought the orange was a perfect match to my retro orange. The stupid thing won't stay closed for any longer than a couple of minutes and then it pops off as per the top left action shot!

Hope you have a lovely Wednesday. Welcome to my new followers! I always get such a thrill when I see a new reader is on board. Don't be shy!

I was very lucky to win a prize as part of Zara's participation in the pay-it-forward project. I'll be offering up some goodies soon if you want to participate. I'm thinking a gorgeous 70s maxi skirt and maybe some Johnson crockery. Stay tuned!
