autumn thrift finds

It's the beginning of autumn in Australia... not that I had that in mind when I went to the op shop yesterday (I didn't even think I'd find anything at all).
But behold, my latest thrifted treasures...


I love a nice striped top. Cheapest of the bunch - it was from the 50 cents pile.


A simple earthy-brown dress for autumn. I'm not crazy about the embroidered flowers and shoe on the chest, but I'll be wearing a cardigan with this dress so it won't be visible anyway. The matching belt didn't come with the dress. Isn't it fun when you unintentionally find matching items in your wardrobe?


a cozy sweater to snuggle into in the colder weather! I already know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of this. Me and cold weather don't get on well.


Shoes! That FIT! The shoes I find at op shops are almost always too small, so when I saw these on the rack I didn't have high hopes... but I tried them on anyway, expecting the back of my feet to stick out as it usually does... but it didn't... it was a perfect fit!
I've been searching for some black shoes - for the practical reason that my black flats (which I practically live in) are wearing thin. I love that these are high heeled. I don't usually wear heels (again: I've been living in my flats), but I've really wanted to give heels a try and these ones are very comfortable.

All that for a grand total of $10.50. Nice!

You did so well, hun! And I kind of like the flowers in the shoe - a sweet little detail. Definitely give heels a try. They'll change your life ;)

Finding perfect shoes that fit at the thriftstore is the best! Those are so adorable, I love the double straps and they'll make perfect beginner heels (I'm the same way when it comes to wearing heels) :)
