"if my calaculations are correct, slinky + escalator = everlasting fun"

my mum bought these over-the-knee boots the other day (from target, i think?), so, of course, i had to "borrow" them for a little while... ;)

top: h&;m

shorts: levi's

boots: target??

anyway, yesterday we went to this thrift/vintage store that i've never been to before. it's huuuuuge. (and i know my local thrift store is rather small as it's run by the church across the street, but still...) i scored two skirts, one from h&;m and one from old navy, a floor-length velvet dress in the prettiest burgundy color, a floral-print cardigan thing with crazy shoulder pads, a pair of rocketdog ballet flats, and 2 pairs of keds. 

this is the only semi-halfway decent pic i got of what i bought, all the other pictures turned out terrible cos of the bad lighting... they didn't look all that great on the hangers anyway. :/ i'll show you what they look like when i wear them in an outfit.

the cardigan-thingie is actually from the vintage section, and my mom swears it's the ugliest thing she's ever laid eyes on... which makes me love it so much more. <3 i'm planning emergency surgery on it and the floor-length dress, to make them a little more wearable than they are now, if you get what i mean...

the flats also have this funky criss-cross thing going on (like ballerina shoes!), so it took me a few tries to figure out how to put them on, heh heh heh. i've never thrifted shoes before, but i'm rather pleased with the pairs i got. there was also this amazing pair of spectator shoes, but they were a bit pointy for my taste so i didn't get them. no regret... yet. 

altogether a good use of a rainy saturday, i'd say. :)
