What a find!

I had actually become a thrifting and secondhand sceptic until a) I interviewed Susie Bubble of Style Bubble for views and tips and b) started to read Sharon Rose Vintage blog. Both inspired me to think again. Then, the other day I was looking through a Couture Carrie post and spied a print that reminder me of a post by Sharon Rose in the summer, nautical always sticks in my mind. So, if you have any doubts about the creativity of thrifting or the finds you can snag then I present you a dress from Stella McCartney's forthcoming S/S 09 collection and something Sharon Rose found earlier!

    I'm not a big thrifter myself really, I kind of wish I was more into it but I never find anything good.
    Prehaps I should try to do more secondhand shopping in 09 seeing as it's a credit crunch and all.

    Love the sailboat dress and the skirt. Thrifting requires much patience and caffeine--do NOT attempt while having a low blood sugar moment.

    I've found some of the most amazing printed and/or wool skirts while thrifting. I usually find myself holding something up and saying, "Hmm...is this ugly or very cool?" Sometimes I misjudge (read:child's yellow and white frilly blouse that looks like crumpled napkins), but my mistakes are at least inexpensive and funny.

    I like your earmuffs below, too!

    I don't know ... I'll leave thrifting to the young and energetic (and applaud from the sidelines). I love it in theory, but I never really have much luck (or patience) in reality. I remember finding some great stuff at markets and op-shops in Sydney when I was a young 20-something, though!

    Gorgeous sailing boat print - what a find by Sharon Rose.
