Clothes make me happy

May 14, 2011 Carly Findlay 5 Comments

Clothes make me happy.

This first one was worn to a vintage clothes market – Round She Goes. It was so much fun! I went to the market with three lovely new friends I met at high tea. There were two rooms packed with vintage and modern treasures. I bought a number of dresses and a skirt, all in great condition and at great prices. The sizes were difficult. My petite yet curvy figure made the tiny size 12 waistband feel like a size six.

The outfit I wore featured a pre-loved skirt from a friend – it is so beautiful – lots of material and a tulle underskirt and a cute poodle appliqued on the front, and appliqued scattered hearts. I am also wearing my Stella McCartney for Target silk blouse from a few years ago, a Mimco headband, ballet flats and giant Diva cocktail ring.

This outfit was worn to Jebediah on Friday night. I don’t know if such a dainty outfit was conducive to the rough moshpit complete with beer showers, but it survived the experience, albeit smelling like a brewery. The dress is my favourite one I bought at Round She Goes. It’s a gorgeous peach floral with a cowel neck and gathered waist. I also wore a swing coat from Valley Girl – it’s metallic cream – and my merino jumper and opaques and ballet flats.

And this one was worn to work and a lunch with friends. Excuse the gaping waist – there really should be an extra button. I am wearing a dress from Cue (it’s green and mustard) and pleather jacket from Temt. My boots are from London Rebel.

    Jeans and a t-shirt + another t-shirt, plus another one, plus a jacket for me lately. My outfits are boring.

    I had fun with my outfit today: black stockings with a square pattern, black shorts, grey top, brown slouchy boots and a cream & grey cape jacket I bought last Winter and wore for the first time today. It was so much fun to wear.

    The dress you wore to the concert is gorgeous – I'm glad it survived the experience!
