    
Another ridiculously good score from my favourite secret thrift store - this candy coloured stripy dress!
Although it didn't come looking this good, which is where the "DIY inspiration" part of this post title now has relevance - it was long and boxy and unflattering, so I shortened it, brought it in, and added the little bowtie collar using the fabric I snipped off from the bottom!  Wearing: Dress - Vintage & DIY Belt - Vintage Bag - Vintage Shoes - Wholesale Socks - Tutuanna & DIY Cameo Brooch - Ebay Ring - From Japan Elk Necklace - stolen off boyfriend You should also totally vote for this look on chictopia, because I've entered it in a competition! Thank you lovelies! Are you all having a nice weekend? I sure have been, as I went to see my favouritest band in the world, Ball Park Music, last night! You must go and listen!!!! I challenge anyone to find a happier, more upbeat, sweeter band then them! And if you have the time, have a look at a collaborative/guest post I was part of today in this fantastic blog! Much love!

Just checked out the post - adorable. Hey, I have something funny/mental to tell you. Annicka used to be my "fake" name. You know when you are young (like you are now, I am OLD), and blokes try to chat you up and you don't want them to know anything about you, so you make stuff up? I used to say my name was Annick all the time because I thought it was so lovely. Is that even your name? I'm not Tallulah Porkchop - that is my dog's name, whih I think is the best name ever. My actual name is Lou.

ReplyDeleteI'm new here too and I just found you via Miss Teacups up there :) This is probably the cutest outfit I've ever seen- I love everything about it! The dress re-style is so inspiring, I never do anything beyond a hem or taking in the sides, but I love the idea of a tie with the extra fabric. Love your blog!!

ReplyDeleteWhat vintage stores do u shop at?? Are they thrift stores?!? I really love this!!! Cute!
ReplyDeleteYep, I never go to boutiques, or shop online vintage - they're usually way too overpriced.
