Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I have done a little Op Shopping in the last week or so. I would like to call it "Vintage" Shopping but I am afraid that in my area there isn't a lot of money and therefore most clothes are very definitely of the Op shop variety rather than vintage gems! But I like a challenge. I also love the idea of recycled clothing - I mean trends are constantly coming back in and its so much better on the planet to reuse rather than to spend all that energy pumping out new clothes for every fashion whim that end up discarded just as quick.

Now as I mentioned in my winter fashion want list - I was tossing up whether I wanted a blazer jacket. Well that decision was made for me when I found a cute cropped grey one at Vinnies in perfect condition. The cut is very flattering for me and still very feminine which is my style. $5 -- how could I say no!


I am also loving scarfs with outfits at the moment. I however dont feel I need to pay $25-40 per scarf when I want lots of different colours and styles. These two were $2 each. I have already worn them and loved them. The brown polka dots scarf makes a super cute belt on my white lace dress.


That is the end of the recent Op shopping. Not as good as some of the awesome things I have scored in the past but still good contributions to my winter wardrobe.

Other Winter purchases include these great tan heels - I love the gold studs that are dotted over them.



And finally - my gorgeous new Witchery dress. I adore the fish tail detail on the back of this dress.


The heels and this dress are my outfit for a 30th bday party this weekend and I cant wait. If only I wasn't also competing in a dressage/showjumping competition - as I will be too busy to get ready properly and wont have time to curl my hair like I wanted. Why do all the good things have to happen on the same weekends! (Oh yes my life is so hard!)
