Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Donna Karan Style!!

Sequins are very much on trend this season and over at Net-A-Porter is this gorgeous Donna Karan dress, for £1165.

I was pleased to score this original 1980s sequin tube dress, which was a halter neck, but I took off the neck strap-for only £5 from Collier Row boot sale a few weeks ago.

What I like about it is it can be worn in different ways:

1. As it is.

2. Donna Karan style, with a black fluid jersey top underneath

3.With an oversized tee over the top, so it's worn with as a skirt

4.With a blazer-shruken or oversized

5.With a black leather biker jacket

Will you be in sequins this season?

Found-Breton oversized tee!!

On Saturday I decided not to go to the boot sale as I'd had a busy week at work and felt too tired to walk all of it-once I'm there, I can't just do a part of it, I have to do it all, in case I'm missing out on anything!!

Instead I went into town and had a browse. I managed to get a silver lurex bolero cardi from H&M for half price-£5 and of course I had a look in the charity shops.

Even though I had bought my Jane Norman navy and white striped camisole vest, I still was hankering over an oversized tee and also preferably an authentic Breton one. I had scanned ebay, but didn't see anything I liked. So, I was very pleased to come across this one from Armor Lux, an authentic Breton clothing company

Fete Des Mouettes is also an annual event held at Douarnenez, so I assume these tees were specially made by Armor Lux for the occasion.

It was only £1-tres bon, I believe, LOL!!
