Vintage clothing is really special. You can find designer quality at a fraction of the price, plus you're likely to be buying something that's almost one of a kind. Therefore - my absolute favourite pieces in my burgeoning wardrobe are the vintage, pre-loved, recycled pieces. My treasures with a story - and only for me. Even more precious than fine designer pieces! Well I guess that's a point of view - but a nice one to have if you're a girl on a budget.
I found this jumpsuit in a vintage store in Amsterdam last year (wearing it HERE) - they really have some great stores in that town! I feel like older cities like those in Europe have a great stash of Vintage in their stores because they simply have more history in their populations. Aussie vintage stores seem to have loads of stock from the 80's and that's almost it... of course this jumpsuit is certainly a fine 80's/90's remnant so I'm not complaining of that era, it's just exciting to see some 70's denim or some 50's/60's sun dresses pop up once in awhile.
The pics were snapped in Fiji! I visited for just 3 short days over New Year and tried to maximise my time by enjoy as much pool time, seafood and cocktails as possible. A highlight was a jet-ski safari where we visited 5 different islands on those water beasties. The thing about jet-ski's is, they are so much fun while you're on them but a total pain in the ass for anyone else around. I always have some post jet-ski hooliganism guilt after riding one.
I'm back in Sydney now! And headed back to Stockholm on tuesday for a couple more weeks. That means back to the real work...
