it's monday . i didn't go to school because i didn't feel like it . i wanted to sew but there was nothing that needed stitching . i wanted to go to work but no one will hire me . i wanted to start on my essay but the inspiration will not come .
instead i spent the entire morning reading my favourite fashion blogs and wishing i had the financial stability / innate style / cult following that all of them have . alas , i have none .
on sunday i stepped onto camberwell grounds with furtive steps and slight hesitation because i was alone . shopping at flea markets alone can go one of two ways - you think everything is really cheap and get sucked into the delusion that the " loud printed 80's mini was really cute , even though you probably wouldn't wear it often it's only $5 so i'll just grab it " and 10 of those cute minis and big shirts later , you've spent $ 60 on useless items ; OR you are clear headed and focused and you score a great deal of bargains . needless to say i'm usually the former . here are some of the things i picked up last sunday . you tell me if i wasted my money or i scored because all the below cost me $14 in total .
i just had to talk about my outfit because it's not often i do daring fashion leaps of faith . i was channelling a little carrie bradshaw from SATC ( i couldn't find the outfit that i so vividly remember that was responsible for this outfit , sorry ! ) and i don't know if it was a roaring success but i did get a lot of stares . i can't take credit for the stares though , jeremy scott was probably responsible .

my outfit for the market :
cropped tee : agent ninety nine
high waisted tights : jeremy scott
vintage clutch , brooch + belt ; ipod

central park-ish , no ?
.: the loot :.

maroon red houndstooth vintage dress ( worn with my own belt ) = $10

the classic vintage piece , a big shirt = $1

and the button popped off . guess i get to go shopping for buttons ! wheee !

my absolute favourite buy so far , big shirt with shoulder pads and golden embroidered stars and crescent moons = $2

reminiscent of my favourite designers

but i don't think the shoulder pads are quite my thing so it's time to whip out the scissors .
and just for laughs :

xoxoxoxoxo ,
soho

yes we shall all turn into FBI agents and save the world! (:
