Hello friends!
Well...it's been a hot minute!

I haven't listed something for sale on this page since July 2021 and haven't posted since September 2021.

So....stick with me here & let's see where we want to go in 2022.

Life has been...well, crazy....everyone I know is feeling it in so many ways. I am still thrifting & loving my recycled fashion but how can I cotinue to share with you?
Is this even something you want anymore?

I have lots of ideas but so little time!
So, if this finds its way into your feed please say hi, drop a comment and see where secind hand hippy fits in.

These pics are me in my "school clothes".
At the beginning if the year I decided I would not wear something until I had worn everything once!
If I didn't feel comfortable, if it didnt feel me it was going on the discard pile.
My school clothes have to meet a few criteria....not too low cut, not too short, comfortable, cool fabric (no polyester plastic crap), pockets are alwatmys a sort after bonus, something thats practical but still looks professional & I can wear with my kicks!
This dress I wasn't sure if it would get a second wear this school season...but, it ticks all the boxes annndddd...I got compliments...so, it's staying!

Weekend selfie style!.....spring time!

So, I can see a trend here with my early spring style....can you?
It's all about 2 pieces...I find it easier to add a jumper or jacket to 2 pieces than a dress when I still need the extra layer in the morning or evening. There is one hero piece....here the skirts...in all the florals & patterns & then a plain or understated top.

How do you do spring?

Sorry, this page has been quiet.....but, well life!!!!

But, I have a few weeks off and plan to OP shop. My spring/summer wardrobe needs a refresh....so, if you need something in your life/wardrobe and think I might find it on my travels In happy to be your personal shopping.

Comment below & we can talk about what your heart is hunting for!

How are you keeping warm?

I just had these gorgeous fingerless gloves & ear warmers made for me by the very talented Lynelle from Lynelle’s Lovely Loops

But, I wanted to share some of my current winter wear and op shop finds. My staple pieces here are my jeans and top, the same with each outfit. But my accessories have changed.
Long coat and long boots for a more dressed up vibe. Don't you just love the gold and silver belt for a bit of bling. This was $3 At the the OP shop.
Short boots and pullover/short jacket for a more casual look.
The black jacket in the bottom pic...an OP shop find for $10.
I had a cropped jacket in black or brown on my wishlist and have been keeping an eye out.
This beauty popped up! Why a cropped jacket? These are versatile, work with dresses, skirts & tops and pants. Can be more casual or dressed up depending what you team it with. Also, they are great for helping to create a bit of a waistline and give some definition to the waist.

What's on your winter wishlist?
