spring is finally here! (sort of)

It was sunny this weekend, and it was sunny most of today, so I'm going to declare it an early spring! Mainly because I've been looking forward to warming dresses without having to lug big coats/scarves/gloves/hats around in order to not freeze*. Dresses like the one I wore today!

Patchwork dress, Finders Keepers via the Gilles St Markets
Maroon t-shirt, Crossroads (second hand)
Tan corset belt, Mogil (second hand)
French lace tights, eBay
Thigh-high grey socks, eBay

Soft pink bow flats, Dandelion

Mimco straw cap (with belt from the Finders Keepers dress used as a band)

* Yes, I know, I could wear something warmer, but I just don't want to. Plus, I hate wearing pants, unless I'm in exactly the right mood (for context on this mood - I wore pants two days out of last year). I have to wear them for work, but that's pretty much the only time I wear them.

I'm wth the band

'Oh No' tee, from 'Pictures For Sad Children's TopatoCo store
Valleygirl vest, second hand
Blue tartan miniskirt, FCUK via Gilles Street Markets
Vintage yellow tuba badge, Gilles Street markets

Also shown: my terrible hair.

Sale Report: Gilles Street Markets

Although I hadn't been for ages, I went to the Gilles Street Markets with my cousin. I remembered it being quite good value and I was not wrong. I didn't pay over $10 for anything all day, and a majority of my purchases were $5 and under, especially towards the end of the day.

We were there all day, which really is the best way to go about it. Getting there when it opens (10am) means you get the really good stuff before anyone else (I got a 70's disco dress for $5), and staying later means you get things at reduced prices (I got a green sailor dress for $2, plus a dress my cousin had seen earlier had gone down from $40 to $10).

Seriously, if you have a chance to get to one, I'd defiantly recommend it. The next one is on the 21st of this month.
