Outfit Post-Last weeks Missoni find

At last weeks boot sale, I found this Missoni tunic-I can't really class it as a dress because of the length, LOL!

Its ideal to wear during the day with leggings and my boyfriend style blazer and being a jersey material its very comfy too! For a bargain £3, I'll be wearing this quite regularly-what bargain will you be wearing a lot of this summer?

Vintage find at the boot sale

The great thing about boot sales is to expect the unexpected. I didn't go on Sunday because of the weather, so come Bank Holiday Monday, I was itching to go, despite the constant threat of rain. I got a lovely 80s georgette (like chiffon) cream blouse (£1), a Miss Selfridge floral cami/tunic (50p), a grey Oasis tunic (50p), a vest top (50p) and a skirt (50p).

But my favourite find of the day is this vintage 50s or 60s guipure lace dress by Laura Phillips for only £2.50. The dress is quite heavy and I'm so pleased its devoid of any marks and also fits like a glove!! I haven't sourced some real vintage (pre 70s) from the boot sale for ages, so was very pleased with this find.

I'll definitely wear it in Summer, I'm just sending it to the cleaners so it will be ready to wear in the finer weather to come!

Thrift Inspiration- Doing it Vogue Style-Micro Florals

Vogue has recently re-introduced its 'More dash than cash' feature, which used to appear years ago and is revisited again this season. This month's feature is on 'Micro Florals' which is going to be a big trend for this summer.

It's a great stylish classic, which can be worn on skirts, shirts, dresses and tops and is great if you can find a vintage piece, especially if its a Liberty or Laura Ashley piece.

Inspired by this and going through my wardrobe, I only had 'big florals' and fancied tapping into the trend, through thrifting of course!!


So I was pleased to pick up this camisole top by Target for only £1 at the PDSA charity shop and also this gorgeous Ralph Lauren tiered cotton skirt for only £3!!


The ideal way to wear micro florals is with an oversized boyfriend style blazer, a biker jacket or denim. Will you tap into this trend for summer?
