faux fur first



I dropped off Little Miss A at playgroup this morning and drove to my favourite Savers shop to riffle through their knitted tops in search of a long sleeve cardigan, preferably cropped, red or black.



But instead I found this lovely little number for $6. I have never worn faux fur, I like it on other people but somehow I found it a little off putting. It appears that the previous owner either took very good care of it or never wore it and it fits perfectly.



My ladybird brooch has found a new home.



There were clouds in the sky this morning and a vague chill in the air so I hung it out on the line for awhile to air and just couldn't wait to wear it into town for my lunch date with a friend. (no it didn't smell, and I usually wash my op shop purchases before I wear them but I just couldn't wait this time)

I only just realised that these colours are the colours of my high school uniform - aaaaarrrrrr that really isn't a fond memory.



Dress: Frocks and Slacks
Cardigan: Savers
Brooch: Leigh Stein, gift from Mr Ed
Shoes: Retro Star

  2. Thanks Delia, I'm getting used to it and as it is so obviously fake I'm feeling ok about it ^U^ Just worried I might get a rash from how synthetic the faux fur is. Have a lovely week to you too.
