Op-shopping Adventures

Hello everyone!

Last weekend, I went op-shopping :)
All together, I bought 4 things. 2 dresses, a skirt and jeans
First of all I will tell you the story about the dresses and the skirt :)

Dress number 1. COST: $1
A long, true vintage style navy dress. I had planned to wear it to my grandparents 5o's themed birthday/anniversary party. I have such cool grandparents! :) But since then I have decided against it because I want to wear a more full-skirted dress. True 50's style. But not much loss, as the dress was only $1.
The photos have made the dress go an odd colour. It is more of a navy-blue colour.




Dress number 2. COST: $7

This one was a bit more expensive then the last, but it was still only $7 :) What I thought was amazing about this one is that I had seen this dress in DFO at Brisbane for about $50. I loved it but I didn't buy it because they didn't have my size. What luck? :) I'm not too sure about the yellow belt though!



Skirt number 1. COST: $2.50
Is this not the most hideous skirt you have seen in a while? Alright, so it is ok, but what were they thinking choosing those fabrics together? It's a french label too!
My friend had asked me if I could sew some pretty material together to make a bow headband for her. For $2.50, I thought the bottom fabric was pretty good and I might use the lace for something too :)




The story about the jeans will have to come another day! What I can tell you, is that I scored them for $7.

TOTAL ITEMS: 4
TOTAL COST FROM OP SHOPPING ADVENTURES: $17.50


Look what is coming for me in the mail from the lovely Sarah at The Forty Acre Wood I'm Pretty Excited :)


One day my photos will be of good quality...
