To Look At You

I've been busy trying to sell a few things on eBay.
I wrote and drew myself a list to get started.
Then I took lots of photos, measured the clothes, uploaded the photos and wrote the descriptions. It took quite some time but I'm sure I'll get more efficient as I get more experience.



I can't believe it - I've sold two items already! I happily made my way to my local post office and the man who works there was very helpful in explaining everything I need to know about postage, because I've never sent a parcel before. So off the parcel went and a necklace is making its way to its new owner.




I also sold a golden sunburst mirror that I'd found at a market. It's been hanging in my room for a while now. I love waking up and seeing it, it looks like a sun is in my room! 



Whilst, I was thrilled to make a profit from it, I was sad to see it go. I mentioned this to the guy who picked it up and asked him what he's doing with it. He said that it's being used in a new T.V show on Channel 10! I was happy to hear that - my mirror's going to be a star! Before the guy picked it up, I took a few quick photos with the mirror. It's such a fab 1970s style. 


Outfit details:
Vintage skirt and belt: market finds.
Turtleneck: retail
I made the necklace myself using horn pendants I found on a necklace at a market.

I love the pattern and colours on this skirt.



I think I've got the selling bug now!

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us. Luckily we sat under a t

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
