Black Cut-out Dress - Jay Jays, Hat - Kmart, Leather Mocs - Windsor Secondhand Store
I’ve
been itching to get out of the house at lunch times lately; I’ve been suffering
a bit of cabin fever! I’ve been visiting my favourite op shops in Invercargill
and picking up some pretty sweet bargains.

Leather Mocs - Windsor Secondhand Store
My
first find was the jacket below – I managed to time it right as the shop
assistant told me it had just been put on the rack that morning. I thought I
got a pretty good deal with it only being $18 and in great condition.
My
next find was these leather moccasins – I found them in a little shop in
Windsor, sitting in the corner of a window display. $6 – and great condition,
plus they’re Pulp shoes (carried by Hannahs) so they’re fairly good quality!

So this post involves a few slightly different outfits – these are the items I’m packing to take to Cromwell with me tomorrow (when I go to the winery concert) When I pack for a weekend away, I always have a few neutral items which I can mix & match, plus a few coloured pieces. My neutrals are always grey & black, that’s what I have lots of and that’s what I feel comfortable wearing. I usually pick one other colour – usually blue, purple or red. This time I’m going with purple with the scarf & a purple cardigan (which I forgot to photograph!) Whenever I go away I always have a “travelling” outfit, it usually always involves tights, a long t-shirt and floaty cardigan that doubles as a blanket, plus a triangle scarf if it’s cold!

What I wear to the concert will depend on the weather (the forecast is rain at the moment!) but I’d love to wear the dress and hat and add the tights, scarf & jacket if it gets colder later on. Otherwise it will most likely be tights, cardigan and a rain jacket! (Hopefully not!)
Here is me being pigeon-toed - I actually stand like this sometimes, I don't even realise I'm doing it!
I’m
looking forward to a little mid-week holiday, listening to some good music and
possibly enjoying some sunshine!
i love the scarf!

What great finds, who new Invers had such great second hand stores?! The last concert I went to was Paramore haha, woudl love to go to another but none of my friends can afford or want to go :( Hopefully the weather forecast turns around as I am going to the Beer Fest in hagley park Saturday - it better not rain! xx
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go op-shopping at lunch! I am quite jealous! I hope it doesn't rain for your concert, that would be lame. I have always wanted to attend a winery tour concert but have never quite gotten there.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! Sounds like I need to take a shopping trip down south sometime :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful trip
P.s thanks for your comment, today was a good day but I'm pleased it's over xo
