Saturday's Flea Market

I love these Saturdays when there is this big flea market to go to, which is only once in a month. There are smaller ones to be found once in a week, but on the big one you can find really good stuff at reasonable prices. I found some beautiful Gabor suede boots from the 1970's for only 5 €. But I did let go a silk dress from the 1950's and a 40's dress, which I sort of regret right now. I also found a couple of shoes from the 70's and 80's which don't fit me, so I will sell them on Ebay.

Todays thrift finds

Today I went thrifting and I found this funny scarf from the 60ies with little clocks on it among a few other things, like a Missoni shirt, that is too big for me. So it will either go to my mothers' closet or to Ebay. I also found a pink skirt and some pink sandals, but nothing really heartthrobing. Later on I realised, that it may have been this girl on Streetpeeper Oslo who may have inspired me to look in the scarf section in the first place:

Ebay

Since I love thrifting so much I always come across beautiful things that are unfortunately not in my size, but too beautiful to leave behind, I am thinking about opening up a little Ebay shop for quite a while now. Since I have almost zero html skills, turbolister will have to do for the time being. I already sold a few bags and shoes from the 70ies and 80ies and I will put up some more shoes and a Marc Jacobs dress (I love it so much, but it's in a size 10) during the next days. You can find them here.

The floral dress

I'm a bad blogger, I guess. I only get done two posts in a month and in April there wasn't even one. I need to improve, I think. Right now I'm in love with this dress from Primark. Where I live, we don't have Primark which is on the one hand pretty good, because you probably won't meet anybody in the same dress on the street, on the other hand you have to buy them on Ebay and pay eventually a lot more than they cost in the shops. I wonder for how much they retail, 10 £?



I think I might buy this dress in black though. I've been on the lookout for a dress like this for quite a while now, and haven't been able to find something vintage for a reasonable price. I just wish I hadn't thrown away all my 90's floral dresses.

Strapless

I want a strapless dress for spring to wear over a striped or uni T-shirt, which is something I have seen on a variety of fashion blogs lately. I want a dress that has a fitted bodice and maybe a full skirt, not one that is actually a skirt worn as a dress. Lots of vintage sellers on Ebay sell skirts as dresses, maybe because skirts wouldn't sell so well, but I want a real dress, like the ones pictured above. I'm not sure at the moment if I want it to be floral or uni though.

Spring Wishlist

I have to remind myself of what I want for spring, so here goes the list:

• Vintage Gunne Sax Dress
• Vintage prairie dress
• Vintage floral and ethnic print dresses
• Some red sandals and some brown ones
• Vintage yellow peep toe shoes
• Vintage skater skirt
• American Apparel pencil skirt and full jersey skirt
• Cute coloured socks to wear in sandals with dresses
• Vintage navy or black blazer
• Black ballet flats to go with everything
  

I just noticed that i really like neutrals these days, so I will be probably looking out for colours like brown, cream and white, but also some pastels and yellow and a bit of red to brighten things up.

Strawberry Fields

Isn't that a cute dress? If only... If only I would fit into it. If you happen to have a 31" bust you can find it here among other fabulous things this Ebay seller has to offer. It's only at 9,99$ yet and still has 3 days left.
