Went shopping at the thrift stores last week. I bought some sweaters at a dollar sale. These aren't the actual pictures, but they look quite a lot like these.

Like the "middle-aged man" thread, I sometimes wonder if I'm not due for a makeover. In some ways, I still dress like I did in the 80's as an art school student. Tend to wear a lot of black, vintage, and punky stuff.

I figure at a buck each, I can drop anything I don't like back in a charity shop bin.

 

[such and such]

I ordered some stuff from Eshakti ages ago and who knows when it's going to turn up It's being sent from India and I live in Australia. According to online tracking it's gone to a Germany and England and still nowhere near Australia. Seems a bit... unnecessary

Here's what I ordered!

Changed this to a scoopneck

They finally turned up! Dotty dress is good, plain blue dress needs a belt to hide the cheap elastic at the waist area, red dress I dunno about. Colour isn't what I thought it would be and there is a lot of excess fabric around the shoulder area (this isn't an uncommon problem with me to be honest) On the other hand proper darts and princess seams are good on a larger best. Unsure if I would order from them again.

Nothing wrong with that

Is that necklace Whitby jet? Looks a bit like it. Edit: Just realised that's not the actual necklace. Ignore me

The necklace I bought was real vintage jet. I love the old jet beads. It's very heavy.

Fantastic! We go on holiday to Whitby, where most of it emanates from. I love the old pieces, but they are very expensive here now.

Thanks! I didn't realize it came from there. You can see it in junk shops with some regularity here. Its usually quite reasonable. If you see it in an antique store, it can be a be spendy.

Also ordered white and light blue to see which I like the best. Hopefully not all of them

Today I bought some all-over bright orange converse. They are very jolly. I'm wearing them now and they are making me smile with their bright cheeriness.

I counted my lipsticks and found that I had 28. 3 were the Rimmel Coffee Shimmer I've been wearing since I was 15, and the rest were my attempts at replacing it with something the same kind of colour but less shimmery and more grown up.
I have now found my new perfect lipsticks in Clinique's Pop Beach and Pop Clove, which are similarly browny-pink but matte and long-lasting. I need to stockpile them

Coffee shimmer. [emoji41] I was also a big fan of black cherry and heather shimmer.

I just binned some heather shimmer - it looks like it belongs in Dirty Dancing. Black Cherry was in my brief goth era.

[emoji1] I've only just started wearing lipstick again and it's a very light, barely there colour. I really want to wear dramatic reds but I've got such thin lips. Not sure how I got away with black cherry, actually I probably didn't!

 

[Poot]

Coffee shimmer I had a really cheap coffee lipstick by Constance Carroll when I was 15. I have NEVER found a better one - and I now own about 10 that are just as cheap but just not quite right. I thought I was alone in my quest!

Ooh, I went through a regrettable peach shimmer phase in about 1988.

These days I'm all about MAC ruby woo. A totally matte, blue-toned red that apparently suits just about everyone. I wear it with everything because it's blue-toned so can even go with pinks.

Rimmel (I think) launched another short-lived brand in the late 80s that did a shade called Rocky Road, which I loved but which was very melty. I wrote and complained to them, and they sent me a box of 12, which kept me going for a while. I know that Constance Carroll one, too.

I'm so getting this, for old time's sake .

I dreamed last night that I was colouring in some white converse with an orange felt tip. I'm sure yours look much better

Lipstick wise I'm allergic to nearly all of it but have a bit of a thing for Clinique chubby sticks, which sit somewhere between lipstick and lip balm.

I like an orangey red so it's Mac's Lady Danger for me. I have ridiculously dry lips though so matte lipstick isn't great. Any wonder lip balm recommendations?

I'm loving EOS at the moment (the one that looks like a ball).

My latest purchase was some broderie anglaise shorts from Monki. Love them.

Some of the Chubby Sticks are more lip balm and some (Intense) are more lipstick, but still balmy. There's an Intense one called Heftiest Hibiscus which is quite orangey red. I like Mightiest Maraschino.

I put vaseline on before lippy and it helps with dryness...
Or bees wax...Burts Bees do some nice balms.
