Bulletproof Bitch

Thrift store shopping is about as timeless as the items withheld inside, And recently more and more are opting to shop within, and why wouldn’t you? there are millions of bargains and hidden treasures waiting to be unearthed if you look close enough! after all, it’s all about the frill of the chase! I like to think of thrift store’s like museum’s, displaying year’s and year’s of cultural artifacts and riveting clothes just waiting to be taken home and loved by a brand spanking new owner all over again!

My favourite item to scoop out and snatch up at op shop’s are full length dresses, because you can turn them into anything! a shorter dress, skirt, top, short’s, you can even turn your left over material form the dress into stuff like headband’s, bow’s, bracelets even lining of bags! the possibility’s are endless! I’m going to post some photo’s of stuff that myself and my cousin have bought and done to clothes item’s and nicknacks! Hope you enjoy!

Elena bought this brilliant traditional tweed / tartan jacket from a cute boutique in fremantel after i spotted it hidden away at the back of the racks!  The story goes that the woman who dropped this jacket off quite literally dropped off her whole 80’s winter wardrobe in a woolworth’s trolley as her husband comforted her! rumor has it she’s soon to be dropping off her 80’s spring wardrobe and Elena and i have already got first looks!

I picked up this old book age’s ago because i loved the cover and way it reminded me of book’s in the 1940’s i couldn’t help myself because it was just so pretty! I wanted everyone else to see how pretty it was and that’s hard when it’s stuck on a dusty self, so i made it into a bag, my bookbag! so that it would always be right next to me for the world to see! i love it so much it’s almost the second favorite thing in my wardrobe, i’ll be making some more and selling them very shortly!

I’m always on the hunt for new old and exciting thing’s and I’d love to know what you guy’s have picket up from thrift store’s, what’s your most loved op shop clothing or item?
