I LOVE vintage and thrift shops. It's the ultimate place to find one off stuff and play dress up for a bit (note the ivory feathered hat above which I ADORE and am still wondering if I'm mad to actually still want it. I am aren't I? actually - don't answer that).
I saw this over sized sequin jacket in dark multi-colours and despite being too big for me, I took it. I'll take it to a tailor to make a couple of alterations and will wear it over T-shirts, leather skinnies or old jeans.
um i LOVE the hat. you should totally get it, even if it's just for photo shoots, it's kind of amazing with your dark skin!

I love a good thrift store find. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket!and the hat is awesome- go back and get it!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Normally I'd probably get the hat, but its so big on me. When I had it on correctly, it actually fell below my eyes.
ReplyDeleteIts so cute though.
I'll post shots when the jacket gets done. Its more droopy on the shoulders than anywhere else.
Mihal - its in Queens.
Cocorosa - yea I'm starting to think that already :-/
Love it saw this leggins at River Island while in London, my legs are too chunky tho!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage shopping so much. Today I found the items with black lace. I shop at a vintage store a least 3 a week :-)

My aunt had a jacket similar to the sequenced one you're wearing. When she came here to the States visit visit us, she insisted on wearing it every day. I was not only embarrassed but mortified. I was about 9 years old. Now I wish she'd forgotten her jacket when she returned to London.
ReplyDeletegod i love this!
