Porcelain poodle
While out shopping for school supplies the other day, we were disappointed to find the store we needed was closed. But there was a ray of light. A little Op Shop I’d forgotten about just happened to be next door. Given that I had two little ones in tow and was very short on time, I figured I’d pop in for a quick reconnoiter and come back when I had more time. It seems though, that my many years of bargain hunting have honed my eye well. In ten minutes I whipped around the store and collected all these goodies for the grand total of $30!
1980′s sun dress with matching belt.
1960′s Red beads that are the sister of those yellow ones I picked up the other week.
Matching peach peignoire set
Matching late 1960′s/ early 70′s baby doll peignoire set
Deco style patent leather clutch with faux tortoiseshell closure
As my friend recently said, I think I have very good shopping karma.
love that clutch!
That sun dress is beautiful! It doesn’t look like something you’d associate with the 1980′s.
Great clutch! Love the peach negligee as well, it is so 1940′s screen siren. I hope you acquire some marabou mules to go with it!
Well done!!
What a score!
I just awarded you blog on my own. Keep up the great posts!
My goodness, you did so well… In 10 minutes?! I don’t think I can even walk that fast!
Loving the dress – the ’50s inspired ’80s stuff is brilliant.
You really must have done something to please the shopping gods – because your good shopping Karma is evident!
Fabulous finds for a fabulous lady!

love the nighties!
Good eye, good shopping Karma
You must have had a good clean out recently to attract that luck back to you.
What do the girls do while you are choosing?

wow the shopping goddess is totally looking after you.
Ive heard lots about your blog this is my first visit and i love it.
The clutch and peach dress are amazing finds….
Hi SKM, I’ve just been listening to news about the devastating bushfires and I hope you and your family are all okay and not too close.
Oh my gosh.. I was just thing of you, a friend of mine here in Japan just mentioned the fires.. and I skipped the news last night…
This is devastating.. I hope you are okay and far enough from its path?
Oh a side note.. I would LOVE TO HAVE THESE!!!
Hi SKM,
I noticed that both you and Lady Melbourne no longer have links to one another’s blogs.
A falling out? Perhaps she grew tired of your being the only one not fawning over her unskilled, awkward and hugely derivative attempts at piecing together vintage chic.
Your style is certainly your own. Done with great flair and understanding of fabrics and eras and which cuts flatter your body. It’s nice to see someone confident in their style.
I’m bored of these sportsgirl-at-heart girls and their terribly clumsy vintage blogs. You’re a nice change.

Jess: Thanks for reading. I do still have LM on mine, you’ll find her listed under Australian Fashion. No falling out that I know of.
