(Alive Girl Skirt, AA top, Witchery Jacket, Topshop Heels, Camilla & Marc Ring, Vintage Clutch)
Usually I'm doing two things when I'm driving - day dreaming and clearing my head whilst keeping an eye out for pretty locations. I'd like to think it's kind of a skill to be not paying attention but paying attention at the same time, if that makes sense? Loved finding this gate with leaves scattered around the front so Luke quickly took some photos of my outfit before I went out on Friday night, where unfortunately I was reminded that even though you're young there are always going to be people younger than you who more than likely have a fake ID and are giving you attitude at the bar. It was indeed one of those "I feel like the oldest person here" nights but it was definitely a good thing. It makes it so much easier to justify spending my weekend indoors with the heater on, a pot of English breakfast and the never ending list of things I need to get done for the store. I think it's going to be a productive Winter.
On another note I found this pleated maxi skirt for only $39 in a little store in Bondi Junction called "Tattoo" which is one of those random cheap stores that have some amazing buys from time to time. To anyone who has ever asked where my vintage black pleated maxi skirt is from I'd suggest going to this store and picking one up, as this skirt also comes in black and they're pretty much identical. I don't think you could even make this skirt for a mere $39 these days? Crazy. It's always interesting to see trends repeat themselves a decade or so later and finding yourself squatting, playing with leaves and taking photos for something they call a "blog". Teenagers these days..

Wow! I would have never have guessed that that skirt cost only $39?
ReplyDeleteIt looks incredible. :)
As for going out - I haven't been out in maybe 2 years and I am 23! I got over the horrible tacky music and drunken imbeciles at the clubs and now I spend 9 out of 10 weekends with my bf at home sipping on tea. I feel like a grandma and friends often give me crap about it, but meh - I don't care. :)
We should open up a 'nightclub' for those who drink tea and like to stay warm. I think it could go quite well!

I am in love with that skirt, but since it's vintage and you probably would never ever find it in Ireland, never mind Europe I'm gonna have to do without.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots as always and I love how ethereal the light always looks in your pictures.

My friend and I have seen a fair few of these skirts around. But this one seems different. Maybe because you're wearing it? Ha, I dunno but I like that it's fully lined because it is rather hard to find them like that. I don't get why stores make maxi skirts that have a mini shift under it. To me it seems kinda pointless.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I can vouch with you on the going out thing...

That skirt is amazing. The whole outfit, actually, is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLoooooove the skirt! Your outfit is great!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs has been said many times - It's definitely a beautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteAs for the comment you made on the low prices of clothing, nicole - it is amazing how they manage to make some things so cheap. especially considering what goes into getting clothes to us - cotton farmers, cotton refiners, cotton packers, fabric processing, clothing manufacturing, THEN more packing, shipping, and then the final point of sale which usually has a large mark up (remember the last time you bought something for $5 on sale? they still at least break even!)
I just felt prompted by this blog post to remind others again how much exploitation goes into clothing production these days. learning more about this is what got me into vintage and therefore into your blog and store - so that I can avoid contributing to the market that encourages and facilitates that. I've managed to go for 1 year without buying something that is not ethical in some way shape or form - vintage/second hand, fairtrade or certified as ethically made. it's been a really fun journey, and I really encourage anyone to start getting into it too. :)
I just love this look. Something old, something new, the silhouette is beautiful and poetic, the colors in perfect harmony.
