My "If Only" Outfits!!

You'll notice I've called these outfits my "if only" outfits.  The reason they're called that is because.....if only I were 20 years younger I would totally wear them.  Check out those shorts in the first pic - they are simply divine.  Unfortunately my legs have seen much better days and I wouldn't be seen dead in something that short!!  Anyway let's just check out what I would wear if I was way younger,  actually I would totally wear the white dress outfit and leopard print outfit but would wear lacey tights or stockings or something similar under!!  Wait I could do that with the shorts - bugger, I hope they're still there tomorrow!! hahaha 

I am so loving these shorts - not sure of brand but I know the red wrap top is  from "Flower".

A close up of the shorts.

The cutest ever little white broderie anglaise dress with white sheer wrap top.  Again not sure of brands but check out those shoes would you!!!

I love the look of lots of jewellery worn together too.  Yum!!

Love love love this dress.  Unfortunately the belt was way too big - I wanted it to pull the waist right in but couldn't find another red one to match.  

Very cute little halter dress.

The girls look pretty cool together.

I found a nice little red necklace to add with the shorts outfit but would have loved loads of long red ones to team with this.

Just Peachy!

Wow what a tricky job it was today trying to dress these girls...tricky because I had way too much choice!  Everywhere I looked, there was another gorgeous piece.  I could have dressed them 5 times over I'm sure. Anyway this is what I decided on.  A couple of very feminime summery outfits for those that love that sort of look and something just for me...a bit of funky tartan teamed with a gorgeous floral.

ASOS skirt, simple cotton singlet top and Moshi Moshi floral jacket.  If you've not heard of the brand "Moshi Moshi" before, definately check them out.  They are an Australian brand started in 2005 and their range is fantastic. 

This is absolutely my favourite skirt.

A close up of the top.  The materials is simply beautiful.  This has a large button at the top if you want to do it up.

Sensational FILO skirt and Sass and Bide top.

A close up of the top - yummy!!

What a gorgeous dress this one is - again, should have had my iron with me!!!  Spicysugar is the brand and I just love it.  I really wanted to pop a sheer black blouse with this one, tied up at the front but unfortunately I can't put black in the windows so I decided to pop a simply blue floral scarf with it so it would fit in with the other pieces.

Girls are ready for a nice luncheon, followed by a good movie.

Red...The Colour of Love

Today I decided on using the colour red for the girls clothing.  Red, symbolising love, passion and desire (amongst many other things ) was an appropriate colour for today as I wanted to spread a little love around.

A cute little halterneck dress that can be dressed up or down - love this one.

What a gorgeous dress this one is.  Strapless with an assymetrical hemline...and dots!

This is a stunning Stella Forest dress that unfortunately doesn't look as good in the pic as it looks in real life....and I totally should have had an iron with me today.  None the less, the dress is awesome.

I love my girls today but I was oh so tempted to throw in a leopard print scarf somewhere!!! 

...and so it begins...

About two years ago I started volunteering at a second hand shop in my home town.  My favourite job is dressing the mannequins.  I normally go in on a Monday morning so the girls can get a fresh change of clothes for the week.  Those of you who are secondhand shoppers will understand my excitement and delight, getting to scour the racks finding just the right thing for them to wear.  

Every week I'm going to get pics of the girls and post them here as a record of my little journey at the second hand shop.  

I would love you to pop in and see how they change over the weeks.

...and as an added note, most of these outfits will come in at under $20!!!!
