Thrifting Date Ensemble
On Friday I went on a little thrifting date with the boyfy. We went up to Brunswick for lunch and trawled through the many available op-shops in hopes of finding something funky.
Even though we didn’t find anything that exciting, I was still thrilled about getting a set of double pointed knitting needles for $1 from Scavengers.
Unintentionally, I had dressed quite appropriately for this shopping trip as my outfit for the day half comprised of my mother’s hand me downs.
Whenever I am back in Malaysia to visit the parents I always rummage through my mother’s wardrobe. She almost never throws anything out and her closet has become a growing sentient form where I always seem to find something awesome in it that she no longer wants but can never bear to throw out. This of course means that many old items I find are free for the taking!
Hand-me downs from my Mother:
Top (worn as a dress): 20 year old Armani Jeans
(Yes I am quite short and I can wear a shift top as a dress)
Belt: no idea where it is from , but as far as I’m concerned it came from my mother’s closet and is probably 20 years old
Cardigan: Country Road
I hope to find more goodies in the magical wardrobe next time I head back to Malaysia
