HI!

We (my sister and I) sort of stumbled across this little store yesterday selling old stuff... (for those living in SG, it's at Beach Road market, unit #02-167).

Lotsa old bags, and a rack of clothes, which we just browsed through without really expecting to find anything nice.  I was also thinking they might be overpriced, cos I really don't think I want to splurge on old clothes.  But these we got are really cheap.  Like literally old clothes price tags. Not  marked up so-called vintage prices. The retro clothes/ old stuff I saw when I was in Camden market (London). Compare S$150+++ to these I spent around S$25 per dress, and S$20 for each of the shades.

Between the 2 of us, we got 3 dresses, 1 vest, 1 belt, and I got the 2 shades for myself.  And these are things which I really would wear and not save for a theme party.

So we got home, tried them out (we did try over our clothes at the shop) and got mom to take these pictures for us.

And TIP #1:  WASH, disinfect your retro clothes before wearing them out.  In these pictures, we were wearing singlets underneath, or else I think I would break out in rashes.   My sister had to rinse and wash every single piece of item like 5 times, before the water runs CLEAR. Gross!!!

Dress in my fave colour, lavender/lilac.  And unisex kinda sleek shades.

This is kind of too small for me, fits way better on my sister.  A printed stripey nude dress, with little prints of horses all over.  Really cute!

The floral vest and belt.

Another pair of shades, with the gradient shading.

Sister's fave buy, a purple floral dress with little ruffles detailing.

The workmanship on these clothes are amazing.  The seams, and details are very unique, hmmm there are hardly any seams at the back shoulder area, if you know what I mean....My mom says clothes like these aren't made anymore.  She is a tailor, so she should know.

And my little Zara try out.  I didn't buy it, just tried for fun.

I thought the details are cute, but ultimately I didn't need another white tunic kind of thing.
