Thursday: Shorts in October!

20.10.11

Fru-Gal Challenge

The brave Fru-Gal puts clothes before the cold! 

This handmade jacket is one of my all-time favourite charity-shop pieces.  I would love to know who wore it before I got my hands on it. It's completely hand embroidered and looks like the zip was added later as it has little button loops down the zip closing.  It's tried to fall apart on me a couple of times so I've added my handiwork to some of the seams and it's holding up. 

Shorts are high-waisted vintage M&S, they look like late 80s from the label.  I have quite a lot of vintage M&S bought from Oxfams all over the country thanks to the Clothes Exchange; a great way to make space in your wardrobe, support charity and get discounts on new M&S items.

Belt was BNWT French Connection via eBay (again). Same shoe boots as yesterday.
