Thrify find....
Kate over at Katiecrackernuts
is doing an Op-shop challenge to save money, cut textile waste and reduce the consumption of carbon-emitting fashion product.
She's SO good at spotting some great thrifty fashions and accessories...
when it comes to thrift stores i tend to run over to the books, papers and bric brac sections and prefer to look for thrifty clothing on Ebay or Etsy ( i like to take my time)

Inspired by this Anthropoligie skirt but put off the hefty price tag US$120

I found a similar chevron print skirt in my favourite
A-line shape for $8.99
even with a small postage fee , its still a bargain at $14.99!
Have a wonderful Friday everyone - we're all going out for Pizza tonight! nice!

  1. What a gem. Love when you see something you know you've seen in a mag - at a teeny tiny fraction of the cost.
    Enjoy the pizza. Sounds fun.

  2. Love the skirt ... A-line skirts are my best friend. Flatters the somewhat bigger hips I received by being born Dutch. Well ... I just use that as an excuse really ;-)

    BTW ... I got inspired by your list of loves and created my own. Hope you don't mind.

    Enjoy the pizza!

  16. i am totally diggin' the mis-matched retro chunkiness of the heals, tights, and heavy fabric in the skirt. sigh Why is it summer here/

  17. love the skirt! fantastic find! would it be possible to lower the waistline, redo the zip, and then if too short, add a solid colour to the bottom?
