How are we all this week?! I'm feeling so frikkin amaze balls right about now because I SHOULD be at work teaching my little lovely ones but instead I am still laxing out on my Melbourne long weekend with my sister and friends! As I type we've got girlies still lazing around our room talking smack and giggling about this that and other while sister is cooking up a mean feed for breakfast! Can't wait to eat...sharing food is one of the best things in life I feel!! (That's the islander in me...lol.) ANYWHO, here is my polka dot post!! I got my polka dot shirt which I think is the bee's knees!! :) Its oversized but its not just a straight cut which is why I love it so much. It tapers in at the waist and flairs out again which I only realised when I put it on...a pleasant suprise :)
I gotta say I don't usually EVER wear polka dots because its totes my sisters thing! Polka dots are a staple part of her wardrobe and for some unspoken reason we usually don't wear each other's "thing" if you know what I mean, lol. Having said that i picked this shirt up in our local Salvo's before I knew we had a polka dot challenge so wasn't that just a cool coincidence!! :) Speaking of coincidences...I also found this sweet knitted jumper on the same day...Isn't the colour just the business?!! Its really warm but yeah the colour...love.

How do you rock the dots guys?! Its not my thing but it SO IS in this shirt! lol.
Peace & Love for the week ahead xx
You have a such a great eye for op shopping, I can't wait to go visit my home town and op shop there, the City I am in now is very overpriced when it come sot 2nd hand things as it is ally he rage for students here etc. LOVE your new jumper! THAT COLOUR AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteHiiii Ezmae!! Yes do go and check out your hometown shops, I find the same thing about city thrift stores...usually way overpriced AND lacking in stock because their all raided before I get there!! haha!! THANKS for stopping by!! :) x
DeleteYou've got some great finds there! Love all the different patterns in your shirt...perhaps that's why you love it, it's not straight out polka dots.
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa!! :) Yeah I think so too! It was jussssst polka-dotty enough for me! I also liked that being black and white I'd be able to pair it with a lot of different things! I love versatility in a piece! :) x
DeleteThat colour is VERY MUCH the business. Love it. And love the description of the festivities happening the in the background. You look fab as always. Thrift shop finds, oh my goodness, I've been looking and nothing. I'll hang in though.
ReplyDeleteMy sister's thing is she HATES dots. Haha. But I get what you mean, we both love stripes and rocking up both wearing them is a bit awkward. Maybe I need to tell her, she's younger, find her own thing... Hmmmm, don't see THAT going well. Haha.
Sugerrr!!! Thanks for the pop in! :) haha, I'm laughing at your comment on maybe telling your sister to find her own thing coz your older...that is SO something Mele would do since she's the older sibling! I would just be like "HELL NO!" hahaha!
DeleteAwesome op shop finds- I LOVE that shirt!! Great find with the bag too! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Bek!! I'm glad you love my Harry because I DO TOO! haha, the bag is sooooooo my thing atm!! was so thrilled to find it!! :D x
Deletelove it! and i love that pull over! beautiful colour too!
ReplyDeleteheeeey Neysha!! yes, i love the colour...its so bangin and vibrant!! :) thanks for the feedback! x
DeleteYay team magenta!! :)
ReplyDeleteYEAH-YURR!! :D I love magenta! x
DeleteMakes me so happy your a thrifter!!! Love looking at ladys style who shop in op shops, always that little bit more unique! x
ReplyDeletehaha, Thanks Ash!! Honestly on my casual teaching budget whilst trying to pay off my current debts, thrifting is the sensible way for me to go!! I just love the plus side of no one having what I do because its not being mass produced at that time!! :D x
Deletei swear I would have walked straight past that shirt in the shop - how do you do this........ every week you rock an outfit that is AWESOME to the MAX. That shirt with that jumper are a match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how I find some cool things sometimes! Sometimes I just look for fabrics that stand out on the rack but most the time I look through every rack carefully!! Thanks for stopping by!! :) x
DeleteYou guys always look so fucking cool. I'm perpetually jealous of all the great op-shop pieces you find!
ReplyDeleteThats a cool compliment coming from you Miss Evie!! I love your bold style!! :) x
DeleteCOOL!! i love that fact Jeanie! :) x
