70s FLORAL SKATER DRESS


Hi there thrifting buddies! I know I say this every single time but I apologise for having kept you so long! (Oh you didn’t notice? never mind...)

Let’s just say I’ve been busy trying to carve my way into the world of modeling portfolio photography. In the past I’ve just done it as way of getting my second hand clothes modeled when I wanted to sell them online, but I realised its the thing I enjoy doing most in the world! So wish me luck trying to make a living out of it...

The most recent modeling shots I took were of the georgeous Hannah Woods. I usually do all my fashion photography outdoors on location so I was very pleased to discover my very own home photography studio in my living room, just by swivelling the sofa around! The thing I like most about the place is that it is so bright and airy in the daytime, and I found out captured an ideal amount of natural light for beautiful photographs! :)

Take a look at this floral halterneck that I picked up in a charity shop in Manchester on my beloved Oldham Street. It was one of them huge, almost factory style shops, with rails of tatty shit, reminding me of the Thrift Shop video! So when I lifted this shiny spandex number out of the ruins I was delighted! It's a vintage item from the 1970s and look’s like it’s been lovingly handmade. It was a snip at just £2 and I couldn't help myself daydreaming about the (imaginary) pool parties I would wear it to!



Sooooo I was just casually browsing through the American Apparel online shop i came across this for £42! Fancy that eh? I know which one i’d choose....
