so while Sarah is in Sydney with her boyfriend for the weekend, and i'm all lonely in Adelaide, i thought it would be fun to check out an Op shop i had heard about. It's called Savers and is amazing! the store is huge and stocks all types of vintage and current trends. i heard about it from a friend of mine who is religously into fashion and scrumages through sale bins and op shops all the time and she rated this one of her faves, so i had to see what the fuss was about.
so it was all i imagined and there was 10 to 20 rows and racks full of clothes, shoes and bags..i love it. i was a kid in a candy store and high waisted skirts and jeans were my candy. i managed to find a fab high waisted skirt and a vintage 90's summer dress.
This is them before i got my sewing machine on them;
and then i altered the skirt by cutting it to thigh length and hemming, i altered the dress by also cutting it shorter to thigh length and cutting off the plain navy sleeve and making it a one shoulder dress. i also added a shoulder pad to the other side to give it a better shape...
now i'm all set for NYE outfits!
