Two birds with one stone today...I've been following along with the op-shopping adventures over at Katiecrackernuts for quite a while now. She's been taking part in a workplace initiative to cut their carbon footprint, and has been wearing thrifted clothes to work (which she puts together with her own fabulous style).
So todays Watcha Wearin' Wednesday is inspired by Katie. Frances is wearing it for me because I only found it at Vinnies yesterday, and I haven't actually had time to wash it yet (oh, and the weather forecast is 16 degrees for today too).
I spotted it in the window when I parked my car, so I walked inside and asked the shop attendant if I could take it down and have a closer look. She just pointed and said "yes sure", so I had to unhook the hanging shop dummy, undress it, and then hook it back up in the window.
The top photo shows the actual colour - I had to use the flash for the other photo and it doesn't do it justice. It was above my usual op-shopping limit ($10) but I think it was worth it. I can't wait to road test it with a long sleeve top and jeans.
I also happened to stumble across eight lovely tea towels which apparently had only just been put out on the rack ...... right place right time!
love the white detailing on that :D
ReplyDeleteBeutiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find, I LOVE it! A wee bit envious although I suspect it might be too small for me anyway - and what would I wear on the other leg?
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty!
ReplyDeletesome people have all the luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is fab Cam. You'll look fantastic in it!!
ReplyDeleteJen in Melbourne

ReplyDeleteNow that is a good oppy find! It's so beautiful! Can't wait to see it on, make sure u post a pic! I would have gone over the limit on this one as well!!
ReplyDeleteYou have the best op shop luck I have ever seen! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of this dress. I can imagine it will knee high boots too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find even if you had to pay $10 for it. I think it is worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteCute that is such a great shape.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutrely gorgeous. i love all the lace. Very me when I was young, way back when!
ReplyDeleteLucky duck! That's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find!!
ReplyDeleteYum. Had a vaguely successful oppy soiree-ette yesterday too - if you don't count the ridiculousness of chasing anklebiter around shop while trying to be simutaneously inside change room trying stuff on...(aargh!)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteGreat;)
ReplyDeleteYou so scored. Well done. I had to ask to take a bag down from a window display a few weeks back. Was well worth it. Kinda rock chick tote. I haven't yet got around to posting that one. You just reminded me.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress Cam, well done
ReplyDeleteso jealous...that's gorgeous. I would team it with jeans and a 3/4 sleeve top too. Great taste!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is really cute! It will look great with jeans and a top, chunky red necklace, wedges.....
ReplyDeleteI so LOVE this dress. May the op shop gods continue to shine on you
ReplyDeletegreat find! beautiful colour & detailing :)
ReplyDeleteWho would give this away?! Well, it is lucky they did, because it is amazing and you are one very lucky op-shopper. Love it!
ReplyDelete:)
PS. I have been keeping my eye out for cool vintage tea towels up here in the "Smart State" (ha ha ha), but they are all super expensive. Will keep looking.
That's a fabulous op shop find!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty find. Definitely worth $10. Hope we get to see the catwalk shot later! Maybe next Wednesday?
ReplyDeletethat dress is divine! op shop score of the year!
ReplyDeleteHow stunning. Absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress, what a find! I always find it really hard not to blurt out: 'it's from the op-shop' when anyone compliments me in an oppy find! it does truly feel great to wear something that you love, and fits well, that has cost the fraction of the price of 'new'!
ReplyDeleteWow.. once again you astound me with your op-shop-magic !!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great find! I found a shirt that My Mum bought full price at Millers at the op shop along with the teatowels. It was on the 5oc rack, so I got it and it fits her perfectly!
ReplyDeletealso wanted to let you know that I've got a guessing game giveaway going on at my blog if you'd like to have a go!
Super pretty Cam! Love it. Well spotted!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice! If you get a picture of you in it then you should add it to the 100% thrifted Flickr group - it's good for a browse too :)
ReplyDeleteWoop Woop! What a smashing dress!
ReplyDeleteThat is one fantastic dress! You really got lucky!
ReplyDeleteO M GOSH...
