Capes and things

As promised, here are some photos of the clothing I've collected over the past few weeks.

I got this Mink Pink dress from Gilles Street Market a few Sundays ago for $10. As well as second hand clothing, designers also sell clothing they've made, which can make the markets a little bit expensive. It just means you have to search extra hard for some hidden gems. I bought a necklace as well which I shall post about another time.

I found this cape (!) for $8 at an op shop a few weeks ago. It's 100% wool and so nice and warm :) It has a little scarf thing that's attached as well which is cute. I feel a little bit Lord of the Rings in it though so haven't been brave enough to wear it out. What do you think, is it too blanket-y looking?

I absolutely love this forest (emerald?) green skirt I found the other day for $4. It's a nice silky material with pale green lining on the inside. I think it's been handmade as there's no tag. Can't wait to wear this out somewhere, I already have a few outfits planned.

Lastly are these boots I found for $2. They're a little bit worn but I like that they look sort of beat-up and tough haha.

Op shoppers guide to the galaxy (or Adelaide at least)

I admit I've been a wee bit slack in keeping my blog up-to-date, but now that I'm on a break from uni (and have been for about a week...) I'll be able to post more regularly. I'm off to Melbourne for four nights next week so can't wait to check out the op shops there on Chapel St (I think that's the one) and will definitely be hitting up Camberwell markets on Sunday yippee!

I've been working on a map of Op Shops in Adelaide, which you can see in the sidebar. I've tried to organise addresses by suburb/street name to make the list a bit more organised and will be adding small reviews. I might put the map in an actual post so you can comment with any suggestions and shops that you want me to add :) I promise I'll post up some photos tomorrow. Lots of jewellery and a few bits of clothing, so stay tuned!

Extreme apologies for the lack of posts for uh...two months tomorrow exactly, oops! I haven't felt much like taking photos lately and uni has been busy as usual. I'm down to my last two assignments for the semester, and then one exam in a few weeks, yipee :) This is just a quick post to share with you my new study buddy, Virgil.

I acquired him recently for 50c. He sits on my desk on top of my trusty Collins Compact Dictionary that I've had since primary school. Although not really sure how 'compact' you would call it. I thought he might motivate me to study, with his little mortar board and scholarly bow tie and spectacles. Hopefully that motivation will kick in sooner rather than later. Once the holidays arrive, I promise to take a lot more photos of my finds.

Excuse the 'Whooga' advertisement in my sidebar. I'm trying to win some new ugg boots to replace the ones I currently have which are years old and have a hole where my big toe is on my right foot. It's the fourth day of Winter so they would be nice and snuggly for my perpetually freezing, badly-circulated feet :) I want my toes to be toasted, not frozen!

Goodluck to everyone who has exams and assignments due :)
