Second Hand Stylings - Day Seven

Tuesday 17 August 2010

Wow, half way through already!

I haven't marked the halfway point in any great style I'm afraid. I'd go so far as to say it's all a bit of a mess. This is entirely due to the fact that I was running very late this morning and hadn't sorted out an outfit last night before I went to bed. I am a complete night owl, therefore I am AWFUL in the mornings. Truly awful. I can barely function for the first half an hour I'm awake, so my outfit picks don't tend to be the best.

I clearly hadn't noticed that these leggings have got horribly baggy or that I shouldn't really have worn them in the first place because the black doesn't go with everything else. I don't own anything in shades of brown or tan that can be worn on my lower half though - I blame trauma from a school play in primary school where I played a tree and had to wear hideous brown leggings.

Ah well, onto the featured item of the outfit - this lovely bag. 50p from a very nice old lady at a car boot sale. I've had a quick google of the manufacturer (Celli) and not discovered very much but should you fancy your own bag, there's one on ebay ending tomorrow afternoon. I don't care about brand names though - I like it very much and it has lots of handy compartments so that's me happy!

  1. Love, love that bag! Seriously. And all of those compartments? If you can keep them organized then they are perfect.

  2. Great find, Alex. Old ladies have the best stuff! You can't beat a multi compartment bag. Love the brogues and those lovely chandelier earrings, too.
    The story about being a tree is hilarious. I'm not a massive fan of brown clothing (or it's hideous cousin, beige).xxx

  7. The bag is a classic, and I always think it's an extra that it's come from a nice home. At a charity shop you don't tend to see the previous owner, but at a car boot sale you are most likely to be buying the item from the very person who first purchased it.

    I have an awful relationship with leggings, I only own black ones, due to once wearing a pair that were almost transparent! The tree story did make me laugh though x
