  1. Great finds as usual!!! I particularly like the yellow top and acid green outfit and the colouful stripy bag!
    The Italian in the Michelangelo quote in your previous post is wrong: “Ancora Imparo” is the right spelling, just thought I let you know!


  2. O Fortuna, both dresses are ooze fabulous-ness. The mandarin collar on the second piece is a beautiful touch to the rather mod print.


  3. i really love that yellow top and the collar on the last dress. i’ve been searching for something with a collar like that lately.


  4. Love the thrift finds, as usual. The bag is awesome–I love how the quilt lines play off the straight up & down of the pattern. Very cool.


  5. Love the greens and yellows! I am very in love with those colours these days.


  6. pretty shirt dress


  7. totally love your thrift finds. I particularly like the yellow ruffled top and of the blue and green trench like shirt dress is so Paul Smith-ish, Fun!
