In search for some new inspirations and topics for weekly posts I've decided to borrow an idea from Kara from Unusual Form. So Sundays are gonna be dedicated to treasures I fins in thrift stores or on flea markets.
I've been thrifting a lot this past year, and I absolutely love it. I go thrifting every week and sometimes even more often. My favorite store has two rooms: in one of them clothes, books and other stuff are sold on weight and the price for a kilo reduces each day a little - they start from a little less then 10 dollars and by the end of the week it drops to 0,6 of a dollar. Cool, right? Of course at this point there's no much stuff left, but I've found a lot of great pieces at this ridiculous price.
The second room has more interesting pieces and they have a price tag, but in the end of the week all of the clothing costs half of the original price. So you can see why I have to go there few times a week - I'm always waiting for a right price))
This week was very hectic - I've had so much work I couldn't even make myself go to a thrift store on a half price day (and it costed me a very pretty grey maxi dress). But when I finally felt interested and inspired, I've still managed to find a few pieces that costed me a little less then 3 dollars in total)))
- a skirt, made from two traditional Ukrainian shawls - I've always wanted a dress or a skirt with those patterns, but I can't sew, so... Thank you, unnown person from UK, who sold or donated this skirt to a charity shop) It's the third piece with our national pattern, that I find in a pile of Brittish second-hand. What's up with that?)
- Laura Ashley top - it's a bit too big on me, but it still fits good and the color is simply amazing, one of my favorites. I plan to wear this top tomorrow, with navy shorts and a dark cardi.
- lace underskirt - it's pretty and very nice to touch, so I'm pretty happy with this find. One of my favorite skirts has a polyester underskirt, and it's really unpleasant in summer, so now I can wear it with this pretty lace thing)
Over all, I'm very happy with stuff I've fount this week. There was a cream colored Topshop jacket there too, but it was a bit overpriced, especially for a thrift shop. I waited for a half price day, but someone already bought it. Well, I guess it just wasn't right for me)
