The $8 dress
Wow, I think the Salvos on Prospect Hway (Seven Hills) is my new favourite OpShop! I got this early 60s acetate shirtwaist dress for $8 – and its my size! (well, after I took it in an inch). I never find vintage dresses in my size (unlike my size 8 friend Kim).
Its a home-made number, but a lot of care was taken by whoever made it – I love the perma-press pleats in the skirt.
I’m still not sure about wearing dresses out during the day, it feels uber-femme and i’m not quite i’m ok with that yet. I much prefer a pair of black jeans, scarf and a cute t-shirt.
I did wear it out to the Rock and Roll Markets in Tempe with the Cowboi.
Major disappointment – most of the good stallholders had disappeared and so had the crowds… I’m just hoping that people were saving themselves for the Love Vintage Fair in a couple of weeks at Canterbury.

I love your dress! I think the way the colors are opposite of your hair color are beautiful together. If that makes.. sense..?

sweet jane.
I love those shades of blue with your pink hair! (your curls are fabulous also!)
I like the casual look of jeans-scarf-tee but it gets way too hot in the summer where I live to wear long pants … I see dresses more of a way to not sweat excessively & die of heatstroke, haha.
