folk tales

Thrifted folk style coat with curved hemline (I could see Abbey Lee in this). So perfect with an old brimmed hat. L1010523 (1) Leopard print dress with side pockets from a vintage shop L1010527 Silver and tourqouise cuff from Spitalsfield market. (This seller has the most amazing in-expensive Moroccan style cuffs and rings ). He's also at Portobello Road market in the clothes section. This piece was around £14. L1010529
70s style knit skirt (looooove how this swishes when walking - wore it yesterday)
L1010525 ...and yes it's raining here today (stand back in amazement) L1010521 Me: Thrift men's boots. Folk style coat (per the 1st picture). Took quick shots of a couple of the things I purchased a couple of days ago.
See you tomorrow!
