Mom Jeans

Today's outfit

*****

Hairband - Topshop

Shirt - Small Change vintage shop

Mom jeans - Depop app

Flip Flops - Primark

*****

This is the first time I've worn jeans since I was 15 years old. Honestly. I swore off them and have only worn leggings for the last five years, but mom jeans have won me over.

I found these amazing vintage Calvin Klein mom jeans on the depop app (which I'm obsessed with). 

It's amazing! They have everything.

My depop is: rosiesaysrelax and I'm on it all the time! Selling & buying :)

I love this shirt too, the colours are so different to anything else I own. The lesson is- it's good to try something new sometimes! 

Thanks for reading :)

THRIFTED DAISY DRESS - OUTFIT

Today I am wearing my new daisy print dress that I got yesterday from a charity shop. It's so cute and has buttons up the front. Cost: £3.99

I also got my loafers from a charity shop a couple of summers ago. 

I love my backpack satchel so much! I've wanted one since I saw Hairspray and Amanda Bynes' character had one! Also, since I saw the Cambridge Satchel advert where the Mum says "They don't make them like this anymore," and the daughter encourages her to start making them and then the mum builds a whole company based on that conversation but fails to actually make any backpack satchels -.- 

I finally found one on eBay last year and it's great because you can unclip the straps and change them so that it can be worn as a backpack or a messenger bag.

This is my 'going for a meal with family - must look nice' outfit. 

I hope there's lasagne or pie where we're going!

(Luckily the dress has an elasticated waistband!)

'Small Change: The Newcastle Vintage Shop' Haul

Yesterday I went to Small Change vintage shop for the first time and it was lush! ^_^
My new favourite vintage shop! They have really low prices and so much stock to rummage through!
 Check them out on facebook: Small Change: The Newcastle Vintage Shop

What I bought:

Golfer print tapestry bag - £5

This is so cute, I love golf themed stuff, it reminds me of my Grandad.

Towel material jumper - £3

I'm wearing this today! So soft! There were loads of jumpers for £3 (long sleeved) and £2 (short sleeved) absolute bargain! 

Children's Christmas jumper - £1

This is the cutest thing! I had to get it, even though I'm not sure who's going to wear it. 

Children's knitted skirt - £1

Same with this little matching skirt! I thought this and the jumper would make such a cute little outfit together. 

Pink velvet top - £2

I can't wait to wear this with some high waisted denim shorts or mom jeans. I love the little tie at the bottom. 

Harley Davidson vest - £1

I love the studded detail on this! Small Change had a big selection of Harley Davidson tops, all £1 each!

Vintage shirt - £2

Thin summer vest. I'm going to wear this with high waisted denim shorts or black tube pants.

Bird patterned collar sweatshirt - £5

Small Change had a huge range of animal print sweatshirts all £5 each! I love this one because of the attached collar.

Total Spend: £20

Can't believe how much I got for my money when normally you would be paying £20 for just one vintage item! There's so much to look at too, me and my Mum spent 50 minutes there checking out all the stock!

Definitely worth a visit

Make sure you check out their vintage Barbies too, they'll bring back some memories!

Charity Shop Haul - Shorts

I went round my local charity shops recently and I scored big on shorts! Originally I thought I might add some of these to my etsy shop: RosieBits but I decided because it's summer I would be greedy and keep them all for myself!

 ^_^

Amazing shorts - details:

Vintage Velour Fred Perry shorts - £3.49

I was so excited when I saw the little laurel leaf on these! I was searching through the swimwear and sportswear to see if there was anything cute and retro to add to my shop when I found these! 

I love Fred Perry stuff, especially when you find it at a bargain price on eBay or in charity shops.

Vintage Green&Blue Check shorts - £2.99

I love these ones! I think they're my favourite out of everything I got. They're a bit high waisted and I love the button fly on them. They're also a nice stretchy sort of denim material which makes them comfy to wear because they don't press on your tummy when you're bloated :') I can't wait to wear these with a cute denim coat and white plimsolls.

Vintage Black&White Gingham shorts - £2.99

I got these in the same shop as the previous pair and I wonder if they were donated by the same person? This pair is also high waisted and I like them because they're not only wearable in the summer. They'll also look good with tights and boots when it gets colder. Cute!

Purple denim Frayed Hem shorts - £2.99

These shorts also came from the same shop as the previous two pairs. I love this pair for summer, the colour is so nice! I already have a pair of lilac shorts but they're a bit tight on me now so I'm really pleased I found these to replace them. They're actually a nicer pair than the ones I already have because they're high waisted. I might get my boyfriend, who is a great artist(!), to draw Lumpy Space Princess on these ones. I'm still deciding though :')

I'm so pleased I got such a good haul as charity shops are often a bit disappointing these days :( 

Instagram gives me too higher expectations of all the treasures I'm going to find! 

I have to say though the three high waisted pairs are pretty amazing, I think. They remind me of Baby from Dirty Dancing before she gets too sexy and into dancing, but when she first arrives and it just chilling in her general holiday clothes. All I need now is some white plimms and a watermelon!

Let me know what you think of my finds!

Spain - Outfits

I'm honestly going to try and do more blog posts over the summer because I've been useless at doing them! 
I've just got back from a week in Spain with my boyfriend so I'm going to do an outfit post about some of the things I wore while I was there. 
The place we stayed was called Cap Salou, it is a small area near the town of Salou in the Costa Dorada area and we had a really nice time! The weather was amazing and I've got major holiday blues now that I'm back in England.

Vintage re-work dress

The weather is absolutely gorgeous today! I hope it's nice where ever you are too! I hope it stays like this until after all my assignments are in and I can properly enjoy it, I really want a day down the beach. 
I just quickly popped into town today for a few bits and I was boiling! Definitely regret wearing tights today; far too hot.

Dress - Best Vintage (Newcastle) 

This is a vintage re-work dress made out of a man's shirt. It's also a Ralph Lauren one >.<

I love the pastel colours on it. It also has a really nice hemline which is very slightly higher at the sides than at the front and back. It has a button down collar too.

I wish I knew how to make these dresses myself!

My Gran's sister is visiting from Southampton this weekend and we're going for 'afternoon tea' with her on Saturday. I think I might wear this dress again then. Hopefully the weather is still nice by the weekend!
