As another vintage fair rolls around (namely "Collectorville" this Sunday morning) I'm reminiscing about the ensemble that I styled up last time, ideal for browsing around all of the market stalls in search of antique, retro & kitsch treasures. This double denim look is centred around this funky faded blue denim mini dress with shirred bodice & three quarter length ruffled sleeves from Birdhouse Laidley, worn with an indigo denim coccoon jacket from designer label Bianca Spender, a pair of black patent & matte leather heeled loafers with tassels from a label called Pitillos that I found at my delightful Obsession Shoes, black 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs feeling toasty warm & a vintage brown & black tooled leather handbag covered in Texas/Mexican motifs from Shop 76 at Ipswich Antiques Centres to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I wore some favourite silver pieces - a stack of vintage Mexican bangles that some dear friends brought back from overseas on one wrist & a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly of Coolangatta, now Tweed Heads) on the other for that touch of daytime shine.
