(No Photo Tips Friday today, I'll give you guys time to digest all the waffle I've thrown your way so far!)
Although I do shop a lot online, I don't always buy new: I'm a big eBay fan, mostly for vintage items. This shirt may or may not be actual vintage as it was described - I call it my old lady shirt (I got an "oi, oi" from my mum about that description!) - but it's one of my favourites. This time it just needed a little adornment in the shape of some pretty pearl collar pins (I'd been meaning to do a DIY to make some, but ASOS shoved some under my nose in the sale. Tut, tut).
It's pretty much the weekend, so here's to you all having a great one! Oh and I'll be back from my sabbatical in my next post on Sunday: you might find that the blog looks a little different when you come back...!

Lovely colour palette, Catherine! Your blouse's pearlized, variegated buttons are amazing. All the best with your blog changes / updates!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber... I'm nervous but excited all at the same time! xoxo
DeleteOh how I love this shirt! I don't know why and its probably just me but its almost comes across quite oriental which I am really loving at the moment. I love how it looks with the blue cropped trousers, their shape is so chic and quite boy meets girl. The collar pins are a great touch :)
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy your upcoming weekend,

I shop a lot on eBay too and have found that just because they say it is vintage doesn't mean it is actually vintage. Some things I bought were vintage "like". They looked vintage but were newish. That is a lovely blouse and I especially love those pearl collar pins. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe trousers looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThe print is perfect with your hair - great choice. Pearl collar pins - nice touch!
