Thrift Shopping & White Flowers

The thrill of not knowing what I am going to find, the storie behind the items, the colours and shapes...
 My heart beats faster when I enter a thrift shop.
 I always stop at the door, flavouring the moment while my eyes fly free through the shelves and rails.
La emoción de no saber lo que voy a encontrar, la historia detrás de cada prenda, los colores y formas...
Mi corazón se acelera cuando entro en una tienda de segunda mano. 
Siempre me quedo en la puerta, savoreando el momento, mientras mis ojos vuelan libres.
Thrift shops were born out of necessity, and grew as a reaction to the high street masification frenzy. Essential to all of us who have a need of uniqueness and self expression at the right price.
 Las tiendas de segunda mano nacieron de la necesidad,  y crecieron como revulsivo al desenfreno marquista y masificador de las grandes cadenas.
 Esenciales hoy en día para los que tenemos una necesidad imperiosa de expresarnos y ser únicos al vestir a un precio razonable.
                         Wearing vintage:
                                                    Skirt
                                                     White flowers top
                                                     Pattern leather belt
                                                      DIY shoes

Hello - how are you? Beautiful scarf print skirt and DIY shoes. Sadly most of the thrift shops here are full of Primark & cheap tat, it's hard to find good stuff these days when there's so much fast fashion around.

Absolutely Mrs. K dijo...

modniza dijo...

The shoes are amazing!!!! i am sure they're more walkable than any of the shoes that you're inspired from. The top is special. All goes perfectly with your skirt my friend!
Tomorrow will be one week since I sent you the little package. I am so anxious if it reaches you or not ^_^

Love and sunshine,

Yo también me emociono cada vez que entro en una tienda de segunda mano, y me lo paso como una niña pequeña revolviendo entre la ropa en busca de joyitas.
Me encanta todo lo que llevas hoy, esa camiseta es preciosa con el detalle de la falda, y el estampado de la falda es genial

Rosalind dijo...

Yes, that's exactly how I feel every time I walk into a charity/thrift shop. In addition to the thrill of the unexpected, there's the knowledge that anything I buy will also have a direct impact on the charity that the shop supports. Thus, it's an entirely win-win way to shop.
Glorious outfit here, especially the print of the skirt.

Style Sud-Est dijo...

I agree with you about thrift shops. This is the best place to find unique items!

Pues si es cierto, y además de la emoción, hay veces que tus cosas vuelven a ti, como le ha pasado a mi madre XD
Yo alucino con el vintage, me encanta imaginar que historias habrá detrás de cada una de esas prendas, donde habrán viajado, estado o quien las habrá llevado!!!
