Today was spent attempting to relax at home (I handed in the last two pieces of uni work on Monday but haven't quite gotten over the stress of it all yet). Tim came to visit me in the afternoon, and we made a trip to the local op shop. He also managed to take another high angle, rather unflattering picture of me - it is tricky for him, being so tall.

The dress is from the lovely Strike.Match's etsy store, and it came to me so beautifully wrapped, with a lovely note and brooch;
So lovely!
Remember that Salvos poster I had a picture of yesterday? Today when Tim was at uni, the people who created it took a picture of him as inspiration (for the next one, presumably)! Here he is in the inspiring outfit;
I'm quite sure it's all op-shop or ebay except the pants and belt. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I were male, so I could wear Tim's clothes.
And, finally, our op-shopping haul!
I am absolutely thrilled with the bag - I've been looking for one like this for a while, and it was a mere $5. The shoes are - amazingly - Louis Vuitton, and we're 99% certain that they're genuine. They're too small for Tim, so they're for the market stall that we shall eventually have.
The gloves are amazing - so pretty, and very good condition. Sadly, all too small for me, so also for the market stall. All in all, very good finds!

hello, i hope you don't mind but i've added your blog to http://studentbloggers.org/! i love that bag too, is it a doctor's bag?
That's very much fine, thanks! I think the bag could be described as a Doctor's bag, but it's a little hard to classify.
that dress is gorgeous, & i love the colour of those tights!
That's such a lovely dress - it looks like it was made for you. And doesn't Tim look handsome!
Great haul as well, the bag is so gorgeous!
That dress is so prettttty, you look like a doll! And Tim looks very dashing.
Great dress! :o)
Love your outfit!
Just wanted to let you know that we at Domestic Sophisticate awarded you the "I love your blog" award:)
i love your bag! i have one very similar, but it is not vintage. great finds!
Ahh! The dress looks amazing on you! Thanks for the plug!
I wish I could wear my boyfriend's clothes too.. Boy's aren't that into op shopping so there is always so much awesome stuff.
What wonderful finds! I love the bag. Love your outfit, too.
Wow, GREAT finds! and you look great in that dress! (*Goes off to peruse Strikematch's store*)
you always find such good things at op shops. I wish I had the patience, because I usually buy whatever I can find instead of looking longer and buying things I actually like.
Next time I will restrain!
That bag is amazing! I've been on the lookout for a similar one but didn't have the luck to find one yet... I'm glad you ended your blog pause!
very fine pieces...i adore the bag
You look stunning and that dress is beautiful!
Wow! I'm always amazed by your finds in the op shops. I always do my best, but never manage to find decent things here in Toronto.
Would it be possible for me to purchase those shoes from you, provided they are my size (European 40-41, US/Canadian 7-7.5).
Email me at patcasullo.com - I'm very interested please!
missi - thank you so very much, I shall put it up very soon!
Percy Chatsworth - I'm afraid they're a men's size 6, so they would be rather too small. Glad you like them - keep on trying with your op shopping, I didn't find anything very good until I started going VERY regularly.
I love your dress, very 50s. And Tim looks dapper.
If the shoes are a men's size 6, that would be about a women's size 8, right? Which I am. Hmm, I could see myself walking around Perth City in a pair of men's shoes, paired with slacks and suspenders. But this isn't an online store, is it? I am confused and rambling. Anyway. Yeah. I like the shoes.
oops!
I was so excited by the shoes that I gave you the wrong email, that one doesn't even exist! I'm at hotmail!
Thanks for your response, Rachael. I don't mean to bother you, but do the shoes look like a large 6? I tried on a pair of Church's shoes which were a siz and they fit....
love your dress and navy tights! how gorgeous!! love love navy...
Haha Forest Park! I used to go there all the time as a kid. Great play equipment :)
