My country to city skirt

I’ve been away for the long weekend here hence no blog post since last Friday. Even bloggers get a holiday right?!
Anyhow, I delight in a good country op-shop but usually find that on weekends (when you get out of the city) they are shut. For some unknown reason on Sunday of all days the one nearest to the farm I was staying at was open and I found this skirt….for 50c.

I’ve been searching for the perfect red, pleated skirt for a while now so I was all sorts of thrilled when it peaked out from the 50c rack.

What I’m wearing:
Sweater: Camden market, London
Skirt: Country op-shop
Cuffs: I made them
Bag: Karen Millen
Heels: Verali

    Something tells me that country op-shops are a lot less greedy than our city ones. Those shoes are amazing! Good to see you back in heels ;)

    Country op shops are the best! What a fantastic find for 50 cents.
