Jungle Skirt



can't wait to wear this skirt as a dress ... vintage silk top: thrifted // skirt: thrifted // belt: flea market // sandals: h&m // bag: flea market // vintage necklace: flea market...

... there's a little story behind my so called  jungle skirt ... some weeks ago i found it at the local oxfam thrift store and fell in love with it's wild wild print.  but when i noticed it's size, i didn't even tried it on (far tooooo big). for normal i don't care about the sizes of vintage and thrift clothes. when i like a piece and it looks like it could fit me somehow, i take it to the changing room. this time i did not. and everything was fine. 
some days after i came across this fashionable lady (cherryhumbug)  wearing a fabulous vintage shirt with a quite similar print and colour. after i saw this amazingly styled jungle/tiger-blouse i went totally nuts... i wanted this skirt from oxfam so much. it took three more days, till i had the chance to leave work earlier and spent a little visit to the store. as you can see in the photos, i was delightful to get my hands on it.

  1. You're lucky the skirt was still there! It seems when I regret leaving something behind I go back and some other lucky soul has snatched it up! :) I like the bright lipstick!

  11. it's an amazing jungle skirt, you look stylish and I like that pose with your leg up :-) you can model your clothes so well! I love all of your skirts...I bought a pleated pokka dot skirt last week and still deciding if I should shorten it or leave it like your jungle skirt.

  17. I tried to comment the other day in reply to yours on my blog, but I got some sort of 502 'invalid' error!

    Its sooo funny how similar the patterns are, your skirt is definitely sister to my shirt! You look lovely, thank you for the link and sweet words :) too kind! So glad the shop still had the skirt when you went back to get it!
