Skirt – Topshop
Gold leather bracelet – market stall in Italy
I needed to take a break from revision so I went out this afternoon to take some pictures. I probably should have waited until the evening because mid-afternoon light is hardly flattering, but never mind. I thought this would be a good chance to show you some of my new thrift finds that I came across at the weekend: the sunglasses and the Chanel bag. Nope! It’s not real. I wish. But it’s vintage and made from some lovely soft leather so it’ll do until I can afford the real thing (next lifetime, perhaps). And it was £1!
I’d been having absolutely no luck with thrifting before this weekend, but the car boot on Sunday proved to be quite fruitful. I also went to an antique fair afterwards and managed to find a couple of things. If I get time I might try and take some pictures of it all because it feels like ages since I’ve done a ‘thrifted’ or ‘antique finds’ post.
Some of you may recognise the shoes, which I’ve had for ages but never worn in a post before. Truth be told, I don’t wear heels all that often, but I felt like wearing these today. I probably looked a right picture stumbling around the countryside in them!
Big bunch of stinging nettles to the ankle in 3.. 2.. 1..
Worth it.
oh this is so gorgeous! i’m sorry you got stung in the process though. on the upside, your hair looks perfect! xo.
So pretty, loving this gorgeous weather we’re having perfect for a good thrift hunt xoxo
I love the outfit. Soft colors &a natural setting. Glad you had fun.
those shoes are incredible I can’t believe they’re thrifted!
is there any chance you could upload some close ups of them because they are particularly amazing.
Thanks! If you click the link in the post it’ll take you to some better pictures.
Best punchline ever!
ouch! well are stinging nettles the ones that the stinging goes away after vingegar? hope so!
anyway… you look lovely, and in such a beautiful place!
:)
The bag is great! Are you sure its not real?
Definitely not. The leather label on the inside is blank!
Gorgeous outfit, gorgeous photos. And what a location!

p.s. that bag was £!?!
Love your skirt, it’s such a lovely colour! And you can’t get much better than a £1 fake Chanel bag that looks almost like the real thing.
I love the english countryside. there is nothing like it. I’ve been having issue thrifting lately. I’m finding charity shops are suddenly just all full of primark. i wonder if they have started to sell on their vintage items maybe. x
wow those pictures turned out great! The first one, specially. And your outfit is really cute too :)
good luck with your tests!
Gorgeous outfit. I love the photos too, so nice and spring-y. :)
What a sweet post! I can’t believe you found that rather fabulous vintage bargain (the bag) for one pound! Bargains such as these make my day :D
OH you look lovely! I love the colours, this post reminds me of the show pushing daisies : ) and those shoes are amazing, but I know how you feel, I never wear heels.
Really like the simpleness of your outfit. The colors are lovely.
beautiful sweater! i love this whole look :)
Everything about this is perfect. I’ve been waiting to see those shoes reappear!! Darling.
You’ve been waiting a long time! Sorry about that!
I love that sweater x.x.

wow, the skirt and shoes are amazing! well done finding them!
I had to settle on a pair of shoes like that from target instead :P
I’m not a big heels girl either, but those, I’d wear. ;)
I love love love the color of that skirt, it’s so cute! And just an overall adorable find, I love it lots!

Beautiful photos, I think the lighting is perfect! And I am so so envious of your adorable heeled brogues! xxx
these pictures are making me swoooon for summer! how can it be warmer/sunnier on your side of the pond than mine! no fair.
Absolutely love those shoes of yours. Beautiful! And I also really like how you always think well about your shooting backgrounds, I wish I had the possibility to go to the countryside or other interesting destinations to take photos more often.
So beautiful. As usual! I love the first picture on the left. I always stumble through the forest in heels! Makes for a good picture and sore ankles! haha

I love these pictures! Wow, this is great. Such a cute outfit too. And I here you on not wearing heels that often…maybe that makes me a bad blogger but I just don’t have occasion to wear them that often! But you should definitely take more pictures in fields, it’s so picturesque
How idyllic is this setting? Quite magical. I’m really loving the colour of that skirt.
Love it! Beautiful pictures!
