Hail the goddess of thrifting!
She has blessed me with quite an armload of goodies of late, which will most likely take all week to snap and display here.
I think I shall call said goddess "Theodora" as it means "gift of god" and I consider all thrifted bargains to be gifts from the goddesses.
Among Saturday's many blessings were these purple linen-mix flared trousers, a 1960s leopard-print dressing gown, t-shirt, gold head band and some green glass bangles.
The Stylist and I went to another vintage pop-up market, which seems to be really taking off here in Brisbane ... at long last!
Number Three Son is making a reappearance after a long spell, just moments before we went to buy him some cool new sneakers that instantly put a spring in his step - boys need to feel scrumptious too you know.
This matriarch needs no encouragement when it comes to kids' shoe shopping.
A wee thank you to Theodora for the weekend's success.
The shoes are a year-round favourite, green plush velvet wedges I bought years ago from Nine West.
Number Three Son is itching to get in the car and morph into a well-shod young man.
Clearly from this pic, he's waaaay overdue for some cool shoes.
I have no idea what this t-shirt is all about ... but I do know that gal's sporting quite a spectacular camel toe.
Happy Fourth of July to all my beautiful American friends out there!

You are such a cool mom! Love out outfit especially the jacket!
ReplyDeleteYou alway amaze! The "Goddess" smiled upon you today! 1960's leopard print never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteThose pants are amazing :)! <3
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have guessed that the leopard print number was meant to be a dressing gown - it's too gorgeous to not be worn out of the house! I absolutely love it as a jacket.
ReplyDeleteNumber Three Son is quite adorable in his hoodie. I hope you two had a good day shoe shopping!
FABULOUS outfit - especially love those marvellous wide legged trousers and the leopard print jacket - how DIVINE! Also love your makeup. I have forgotten what 'winter' is like in Brisbane - non existent!
