thrifty copycat: gingham stories

It’s no secret that I’m not much of a fashion-trend-follower & prefer to revel in my own quirky style… BUT I do have a soft spot for unique thrifty outfits so when I saw Ariane’s gingham & floral ensemble infatuation struck & I knew I had to recreate the look.

*Coincidentally I had recently been given a pair of vintage gingham trousers at the flea market by a rather flirtatious older gentleman who thought they would “suit my young self”…

Just a couple of freaking cool Canadians, eh?

Flower Power Sunglasses (thrifted & refashioned) €0.20 – Floral Blouse (ebay & refashioned) €1.50 – Vintage Wristlet (flea market) €3 – Rings (thrifted & handmade) €0.10 – Vintage Gingham Trousers (flea market) €0 – Vintage Sandals (ebay) €6

Total outfit cost: €10.80

…and how awesome is my mint condition 1960’s leather wristlet? The lovely elderly seller at the flea market said she got it as a gift in 1966 and never used it…this fabulous & oh-so-functional little bag shall get loads of use now!

  3. You are both too cute, eh! Wish I could pull off your ability to mix and match different patterns like that and still look fabulous. I tend to play it safe.

    1. Thanks Vee…anyone can pattern mix & look great – it’s all in the attitude baby! When you feel good you look good (& I’m at my best when I stand out in a crowd 😉 )

  4. I love it!!!!!!!! The top is stunning!!!

    1. Merci pour l’inspiration stupéfiante Ariane!

      *the top is actually a little girls robe that I did a bit of refashioning with 😀
