It's About The Little Things II

these are some more finds from last weeks flea markets i went to. ... this time i was lucky again to find a stall with some special vintage jewelery from the 30s-80s. the seller's parents had closed their jewelery shop more then 10 years ago, now she was selling the total left overs ... from her i got the flying bird brooch (early 50s), the sterling silver bow brooch from the early 40s and (also from the 50s) the black and gold leaves and the roses brooch ... later i came back with my left over money and got these 3 powder boxes (first picture). the seller told me, these must be from the late 30s ... everything is deadstock. oh, the anchor pendant i already wore here i got from her aswell. i was so happy when i found the asian 50s wicker jewelery box to bring all the precious finds home savely.

... oh and i forgot to picture the tea time songbook with chansons and operetta music i got from her aswell. all in all i spent 35 € on all the things from her ...

Perfect Saturday And More New Glasses

saturday was perfectly warm and sunny ... so i was able to go to two flea markets! i came home with a new 50s suitcase filled with lots of nice bargains ... this is what i wore to the market ... blue cardi: h&m // late 50s handmade dress: ebay // vintage heart belt: thrifted // flats: primark // bag: flea market // bluebangle: thrifted // handmade peticoat: ebay ... after i came home i changed a little for having some ice cream in the city ... belt: came with a vintage dress // wedges: c&a // vintage purse: flea market // bangles: flea market // 60s gold doublet anchor pendant: my fav buy from yesterdays flea market!

... and i am wearing my second pair of new specs. love them!

New Glasses

this is what i wore to work yesterday ... new glasses: eyes+more // cardi: primark // early 60s dress: ebay // belt: from istanbul // handmade petticoat:ebay // tights: c&a // straw clutch: flea market // vintage shoes: flea market ...

people say: if there is a change in women's life, they change their hair ... i change my glasses. a good friend told me about a special offer from an optical store: 3 specs for 250€. usually i spend the same amount of money on just one pair. how great, i was able to pick them up the same day i ordered them. ... but i still have to wait for the sunglasses.

Office Girl ... Light Of The End Of The Tunnel

... on one of the warmer days last week i wore this to work ... vintage silk top: thrifted // vintage austrian trachten skirt: ebay // 60s bag: flea market (the bf found for me) // shoes: flea market // bangle: flea market ...

there are only a couple of weeks left till i finish work at my old work place ... there are plans for the future ... new city, finding a new job, finding new friends, trying to realize a dream ... and before that 4 weeks of holidays around seattle ... this summer will get very special to me. sadly, i'm still waiting for a nice summer!

The Rose Hat

tanya from style me betty asked me to present a piece from her shop. i saw this adorable rose hat from the 50s/60s and i fell in love with it immediately. i was so happy when i opened the box: it matches perfectly the colour of my accessories for the wedding and it's so comftable to wear. ... you will see this little treasure worn in june!

check out the beautiful vintage online shop named style me betty. it's an awesome place to find adorable vintage pieces (dresses to hats, bags and jewelery) in great condition and affordable prizes.

Office Girl ... Too Much

 

 

... this 50s look was far too much for some co-workers ... cardi: h&m // 50s blouse: ebay // 50s skirt: ebay // vintage belt: came with a dress // vintage shoes: flea market // vintage bag: thrifted // vintage bangle: thrifted ...

some of my co-workers weren't even able to listen to what i said, when i talked to them the day i wore this outfit ... they were just starring at my hair, the rolls and the puffy skirt ... some things i wanted them to do aren't still done (this was some day last week) ... and for sure they don't remember ... they still wonder why i wear silly clothes and strange hair styles ... and not jeans and sporty shoes.

but yeah, this is my last month at this work place .... then i have to look for new people to scare with vintage fashion. hehehe.
