Best dressed?

Again it's the time for the lists of best dressed. This annoys me every year. It is always a challene to dress well, at least well enough for other people to notice. This challenge becomes significantly easier when you have enough money to byu whatever needed, and designers throw their robes at you for you to wear them on the red carpet.
Honestly I think it's much more impressive to dress well and interesting with a limited budget. In stead we are confronted with the idea that you have to own a 2000$ designer piece, to be fashionforward. This idea also comes from women's magazines, and quite frankly I'm rather tired of seeing clothes that I can not possibly afford on models, who's bodyshape I can never achieve.
So I have decided to boycot designers clothes (won't be that hard) and women's magazines (will be a lot harder) 

Shoppingfever

A couple of weeks ago I was on the fleamarket in the town center. Normally I don't buy anything there, not because I can't find anything, oh no, I could die happily amongst the old chairs, the art deco necklaces and the jugendstil silverware. The problem is that the traders know exactly what they've got and what they want for it. 

Unfortunately this last time I couldn't help it, the shoppingfever took over and I bought the things below. 

The first thing I bought were these wonderful egg cups from the 60s. I absolutely love them all though I never eat eggs. ;-)

Next I bought this little box for all my earrings. Probably not very old, but fulfils it's purpose perfectly among others safekeeping my new ivory earrings.

I was very happy to find these, I've been looking for earrings to match my ivory necklace for ages. Don't worry, they're antique, no elephants have been harmed, at least not this century. ;-)

This snakeleather handbag was definitely a find, I thought about it for a couple of hours and finally decided to buy it, and so far haven't regretted it. I especially love the lock.

I hope I can keep the money in my wallet next time I go to a fleamarket. Otherwise it's going to be a tough month. ;-)
