The purpose of this post today is to show off this sweet white linen pleated skirt I thrifted last week.
This skirt makes me feel like a 1920s tennis star. Much like this lovely lady:

I am having the best luck vintage shopping lately - someone's amazingly well dressed grandma with an incredible pastel dress collection is going around getting rid of her clothes (I speculate). This beautiful dress was $2. And I found it just hanging there, all lonely and unloved, outside on the street on the cheap rack of my favourite op shop! I was near hyperventilation, believe me.
I'm wearing:
Dress - Vintage
Tights - c/o Oasap
Cameo Brooch - Ebay
Sweater - Vintage (from Tokyo)
Bag - Vintage
Belt - Vintage
Hat - Wholesaledress
Ring - Ebay
Pocketwatch Necklace - Markets in Sydney
Shoes - Forever 21
And here is a picture of me from yesterday when I was on a date at Luna Park (an amusement park in Sydney), eating some Fairy Floss in a real ladylike way.  Aw yeah, I have fairy floss hair.

I really like the style of dress with a high waist, a 60s style bodice and a poofy circle skirt.
They go for $100 + on websites like Jones & Jones, but really they are so simple and easy to make yourself.
All you need to do is find a cheap pattern from a charity store/op shop that you like the look of (any kind of basic dress is fine) and use this as the pattern for your bodice. As for the skirt, you can follow my circle skirt tutorial here (sans velvet), and then all you have to do is join the two together!
And basically any combination of prints and colours will look nice as well, particularly if you work with a patterned/plain combination, I think. Or you could do the dress all the one colour. There's loads of possibilities!
Wearing:
Dress - DIY
Bag - c/o Oasap
Shoes - Yesstyle
Tights - c/o Oasap
Collar embellishment - DIY
Cameo Brooch - Ebay
Belt - Vintage
Hat - Wholesale
Hope you're all having a creative day,

What you need:
some plain old denim shorts with a straight hem scissors cardboard a sewing machine a pen some pins What you do: 1. Cut out a scallop shape from some cardboard, like the one in the picture below.
2. Fold the edge on your shorts up approximately the height of your cardboard stencil, on the RIGHT side of the shorts.
 
3. Trace around the scallop shape, making scallops all the way around the cuff of your shorts. Pin the folded up bit to your shorts so it doesn't move when you start sewing.
4. Using a small straight stitch, sew around your drawn lines. Lift and readjust the foot as you go to make it easier!
5. Cut out your scallops, just outside the line you sewed. Now iron, flip the hem inside out, iron again, and you're done!
