Roadtrip

Some pictures from the last hectic but really nice summery days. I'm wearing the thrifted shirt which looks really cool tied up, especially with the white skirt. I ll try and do a proper photo session of that particular combination and post it soon. For now, enjoy the summer/weekend!

All white

One of my thrift finds from the previous post-perfect for long summer days filled with sunshine!

New In: Thrift finds & more

During my meeting with the lovely Mira from Thrift Queen's Closet yesterday, we spent quite some time thrifting around in a big Sofian market full of second hand clothes and accesories. I've never really been that into thrifting but I think Mira convinced me that you can really find some great things if you have the patience to look hard enough. I found a nice sleeveless shirt from Gap which I think would be cute worn tied up with a high waisted skirt, and a cool white tunic top/dress perfect for the Bulgarian summer heat. I also managed to find myself a nice basket today (not thrifted) to replace my broken one, so I've satisfied the shopping cravings for now. I ll hopefully be able to show you some nice outfit posts with these things soon. I'm now off to the land of no internet again, but I will catch up with the blog next week :) Have a great weekend!

And here is a little picture from my time in Plovdiv where I met the lovely Reneta from Lifestyle Vogue, as well as Ivelina from Frichic and Veneta from Edgy Cuts.

Thrifting around

I've never really been that into charity/thrift store shopping. I usually go in, find that the majority of the items are a size 16-18 and that nothing will fit me and usually buy an old book or something. Yesterday however, must have been my lucky day. I went into an Age Concern charity shop and within minutes had located some pretty nice (and quite good quality items) which caught my eye. What made the experience even more appealing was that all the clothes were organized by size, so I immediately knew where to head over. I ended up buying this skirt (see below) which I thought would be perfect for the summer, and it has a very ethnic feel to it, which I like. It's also made of a linen-type material so I know it won't fall apart anytime soon. The jumper type t-shirt below is my second purchase, in good condition and it has a kind of mesh feel to it which I have wanted for ages. It's great for layering over tops and is quite long as well-I can see it working with shorts or even leggings and boots. Anyway, after such a positive experience I think I ll definitely be exploring charity/thrift stores more often, and it's nice to know that your money is going towards a good cause as well.
