Thrifting gone overboard



Did not know why my last Sunday's thrifting went overboard. Impulse? All I knew was that these are great finds at great deals, below RM10 for each piece. Very, very hard to resist. Two or three of the dresses need alteration for fresher look.


Bought the hair clips, comb (for fashion projects) and retro coin pouch from a charity stall. The beaded retro coin pouch is very cute. The white blouse has the modern look, very suitable as sophisticated office wear.


Could not believe that I could come across with Bally shoes at the flea market! I am not sure how to date the shoes but this is what I want, almost what I want actually. Ferragamo is out of my budget but this pair, due to its condition (needs to be cleaned or polished), is still within my budget.

I am broke. But happily broke.

Have a good week ahead everyone!

  2. Wow great haul!! Vintage shopping seems to go in cycles for me, some weeks I find loads of stuff, other weeks nothing. You should definitely enjoy your bounty, especially those shoes. You should post pictures of when you wear those dresses.

  6. You can find more vintage bags and shoes at lower ground floor. I love to go there to check our antique sewing machines. They are so lovely... too expensive to buy. Sigh.

    Thanks for the info!
