Outfit post and Charity Shop finds

By Gem - 21:52:00

Popped down to town today to look around the charity shops and this is what I wore-

Don't know why I look so unimpressed...

Had a little play around on Picnik, curved the edges and played with the colours, very technical for me! I love this t shirt, I has a horse on it and I got it from a shop called Supre in New Zealand a few years ago. The scarf is from a charity shop, the skirt is Dorothy Perkins, the bag is from style369 and I'm wearing my fave cardi from asda.

Didn't find much today but I did find another great book-
It has a fab sections about pop music and fashion of the time along with all the main news events of the year, There were a few other years there too which I might go back for because they were only 99p.

I would like to say a big thank you to Ariana of fatale fashion for honouring me with a 'Your Blog is Breathtaking' award :)

    Great book and fabulous outfit.
    My NZ blogging pal sends me masses of vintage stuff she's found in Op-Shops over there, it can't be too bad. xxx

    The op-shops are fab! loads of good ones in Auckland on K Road and a really good one in Roturua. They don't seem to have much of a high street, but in a way that's good. More independent store x
