I thought I'd share a portion of my latest thrifting haul with you this morning. I recently discovered the joys of shopping in second hand and thrift shops for clothing and other items. I seem to have pretty good luck when it comes to the clothing.
I found this cotton blouse from Venezia, and I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough so I can wear it. It will be perfect for a Spring coord. Here are some close-ups so you can see the details.
At the waist.
The sleeve. It's really pretty isn't it?
I also scored several new sweaters, two of which are cardigans. Here is the first one.
You can see the sequins all over it. I took those off (anybody need any sequins for a craft project??) which took forever. Here it is after.
It's such a lovely, soft sweater, I can't understand why they'd sew sequins all over it. It's a silk, nylon, angora, lamb's wool blend, and a gorgeous soft pink color, too. Sorry for the poor photo quality, I couldn't get the lighting right so the color would show correctly. I'm going to add some lace trim to the neck-line of it and I'll post those photos when I get it done.
The second cardigan needed some work done on it. The knitting was coming undone in two or three places, so I had to 're-work' it. I just love the colors and the patchwork pattern.
I need to finish the top I'm making to wear under it so I'll have a better coord to show next time.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
