Give-away tip and seven things you didn't know about me, part 6

I'm entering a swim wear give-away over at the Pin Tucks and Pin Curls blog, check it out if you wanna win something like this;

Isn't it just lovely? And there's one in leopard too...and bikinis! Check out the For Luna website for more pics.

This brings me conveniently over to the 6th fact you didn't know about me...Apart from shoes and hats and that kind of stuff, I also have a thing for, and thus collect, swim wear. I don't have as many bikinis and swimsuits as I do shoes though (yet) but for some strange reason they keep accumulating (and only a few are vintage or retro). Wait til you get to the next bit though; I don't particularly like swimming...

Dig through piles of clothes and you shall find

Last friday was payday...which meant money to go shopping! I happened to have the day off so off to the charityshops I went, spent 15 euros and came home with some nice stuff in lovely colours.

I worked throughout the weekend and today I finally had some time to take pictures.


Such a great scarf, I can see myself wearing this a lot this summer.


This skirt is actually a bit longer than this, but hey, nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of time and my beloved sewing machine...

And then, finally, as I was going through a pile of swimwear, something red caught my eye. I pulled it out, noticed the shape of the bust and my heart almost stopped - could it be? Oh yes it could! A real 1950's bathing suit! (50's clothes are seriously rare to find in this area) And it looked small too...but when I tried it on it was sadly a couple of sizes too big. Which didn't stop me from spending an entire 50 cents on it and posing in it for you all to see. So, now it will live in my closet for a few years until I gain a bit more weight. I didn't really need a bathing suit anyway, since I've already got my new leopard print bikini...and the eight or so other bikinis/bathingsuits in my closet.
