Fashion Blog: Three Thrifty Fashion Finds

Looking at old stuff - I can't resist! Fashion, jewels, interiors, architecture or just curios, I find it all utterly fascinating. When it comes to fashion I like the casual, briefness of popping into in consignment stores (called dress agencies in the UK), Goodwill (called Charity Shops in the UK) and vintage stores spontaneously when I just happen to be in the neighbourhood. I feel I have so much to learn each time I look inside a vintage piece of clothing, each decade showing different construction, different cuts, fabrics, the detail and evidence of delicate hand finishing of garments.

I recently found three thrifty fashion finds on the same day. This is rare for me as even though I like looking at old stuff, I rarely buy anything unless it's something that I really adore. So the thrifty haul in detail...

Vintage 1990s Celine Dress £39.99/$62.23.

This Celine dress is a linen and silk mix, I sent it for a dry clean
(hence the odd cardboard hanger) and collected it looking good as new.

The Celine dress has the shiniest gold buttons with the Celine logo embossed within and a soft tie around belt, I like that this piece is black and white, rather than the obvious navy and white often adopted in these spectator styles.





White embroidered cotton dress (no label) £3.99/$6.20
This dress has very delicate embroidery all over which is what I fell in love with when I spotted it.

Topshop blue and white stripe shirt £2.99/$4.65.
Perfect for any summer casual day, even as a cover up. Crisp worn with white and muted worn with corals and peaches.

These two pieces are 100% cotton so they went into the washer with some Ecover.
They are now waiting for a good pressing before hanging in my closet.
