Yesterday I visited Pandoras Box, a monthly in-door flea market event in Galway. I am trying to impose a spending ban of sorts and thought that by doing some thrift shopping I could spend a little without feeling guilty about over-spending. I was at least an hour at the event browsing the different stalls and I picked up some gorgeous vintage finds.
First up – jewellery finds. I picked up these drop earrings for €2 per set at one of the stalls. The little camera earrings are an ode to my love for blogging and improving my basic photography skills. I think they look very cute.
The Parisian trend never gets out-dated and is a style which I adore. I dedicated a blog post to this trend a few months back which you can read *Here*. These little eiffel towear earrings will add some Parisian chic to a professional office look.
This ‘Lovely’ necklace was an absolute steal at €1!! The writing is a really cute size, not so big that it begins to look trashy. I really like cute statement necklaces or rings like this.
This satchel style shoulder bag was €5. I love the leopard print pattern and think that this bag will look good with an understated monochrome outfit to add a pit of patterened fun to a look.
This was my favourite vintage find of the day from the Community Aid (Gort) stall. A silk feel kimono style jacket in beautiful shades of blue, purple and pink. I could not believe this was only €7.50! Seriously going to be doing a lot more thrifting me thinks! I have some nice outfit ideas to wear this jacket with mostly focusing on the jacket as the main piece in the outfit and wearing navy leggings or disco pants with a neutral top and some cute jewellery.
As you all know, I love bows, so I just had to pick up one of these hand-made headbands. There was a great selection to choose from all for €2 and I opted for this floral print which will be a nice transitional piece for Autumn. Earlier this year I wrote about 5 ways to wear bows which you can read *Here*.
What do you think of my thrift finds this month?
