maybe there's a way out

As you all know, i went to gippsland last thursday, where i had the opportunity to go for a bit of op shopping with my friend. and i also op shopping on saturday as well. and as promised, here are some of my latest buys.

this is a hounds tooth blazer found in gippsland and a bargain too! This blazer needs a little nip/tuck, its a little big for me which isn't quite flattering so i have squinch it in. oh i think i look quite manly in the above photo, note to self wear some feminine clothes with this blazer or risk looking like an old man. 
i love country op shops, so much better than city ones and so much more fun. if only we had more time to explore. 
i thought this dress looked quite pretty, not vintage but still nice, i really like the collar design. on the downside, even with two layers, it is still sheer. (from gippsland)
this one i got on saturday in moonee ponds. i've been waiting for this one to go on sale and hoped that no one had bought it in the meantime, luckily it was still there and now it's mine!
this is from the same op shop as above. i'm in love with this one, i think it looks really cute, i cannot wait to wear it. oh i'm a little sad because in a matter of a month, i won't be able to wear my extensive collection of warm winter cardigans anymore. so now i'm trying to put as much use in the cardigans as possible. 

also i got an additional thing at gippsland. i bought a 'Babysitters Club' book, it was the first one and a hardcover and i thought it was cheap at only 50cents. i used to love these series and i want to start a collection. ahhh it takes me back to the old days, where the books are so easy to read and digest and really have no deeper meaning. good books to indulge and relax your mind. 


I made the font size bigger to disguise the fact that i have little writing in this post, but the photos speak for themselves, i guess. 


Good night peeps!


Love Squealer.
