Op-Shopping and a sneak peek

Today, I went op shopping with the lovely Helga von Trollop. This time I remembered my camera but forgot to take any pictures. I'm useless.



I managed to score some stockings in their original packets. I love the cute packaging. One of them has a price sticker for 55 cents on it. I wish they were that cheap now.



I got (another) waspie. I also got a hat and some spoons. My mother promptly stole the hat but it's alright because it looks better on her than it would have on me.

I have finished my final two June Challenge dresses. It got a little Project Runway with me hemming the last dress at 11.30 last night. I always leave things until the last minute. It always seems to work out though. Here's a sneak peek of the two dresses. I haven't had a chance to take some pictures with me wearing them but I will do a post about them when I do.

    Oh lucky you. I was only able to make three dresses. So a big fail for me. That polka dot dress looks quite interesting.

    Oh well done on getting your frocks done. I love the polka dot one, I can't wait to see that on. I so need to pull my finger out and get on with some more dresses. Xx

    I am so jealous! It looks like so much fun. I managed to research an opshop here (Vietnam) but when I showed up at the address it just didn't exist... damn.

    Oooo ... I like the look of that polka dot dress!! Very very tasty! I can't wait to see you wearing it! I think the striped one will look better on for sure.

    Those frocks are gorgeous, they look so professional.
    I loved your outfit when you went op-shopping with Helga. One day I'll join you. Those waspies are so expensive in vintage shops here, you did really well. x
