Thrift finds * Treasures *

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

Feeling ... moody and heavy 

This morning, I sat two grueling exams for six hours in total. Exhausted, hands shaky, but am glad it's all over. The feeling that you've overcome something difficult is amazing, isn't it ? 

To celebrate, I took the train over to my favorite shopping place in Hong Kong, Mong Kok, where I get all my clothes. I have a hobby of thrifting around the second hand / vintage shops there, and finding cheap and very retro clothing that look absolutely amazing ... I LOVE thrifting. Love the smell of old clothes, old shops and old shelves. 

Here are the beauties I got : 

#1 : Yellow Racer Knit Sweater - thrifted

Easily my new favorite item in my closet, this yellow biker knit sweater has a beautiful, vibrant color, awesome checkers and a gorgeous patch of color at the bottom. I can't wait till it gets a bit colder for me to wear this. Sadly, it's hot and humid over in my side of the world :(

#2 : Brown denim jacket 

Vintage, retro and masculine, this jacket adds a chic style to any thing. I will pair this up with ... a graphics tee and cool heels. Or sunnies with a cute hair bun ! The jacket's really hard and tough, I love it.

#3 : Black semi see-through silk dress/shirt

When I first saw this on the rack, my heart gave a little scream of joy. This long sleeved slinky, silky black long sleeved shirt is just long enough to serve as a little black dress, and long enough to just cover the butt, which is simply perfect. Double use, girls ! It's also quite sexy, it's semi see-through and slinky. 

#4 : Soft washed-out grey blue button up 

I've been wanting a button-up since ages! It's great to pair with leggings or shorts, or just anything tight underneath. I admire girls who pull off the "slouchy", "messy" look, and can't wait to try it on. I love the side pockets, they're strange and located on the top of the jacket. How nice!

#5 : Polka Dot Shirt

Probably my second favorite item I thrifted today. This black/white polka dotted button-up is as cute as a cupcake, and as chic as ... all my lovely readers (yes, I mean YOU) ! What would this go well with ? Hmmmm, any ideas ? 

#6 : Tribal / Indian Printed tee

I'm wearing this right now, as I type. It's super comfy, and I love clothes that I can wear inside my home, without the need to rush to my room to change when I needa run to the grocery story for emergencies! The sleeves kind of slouch down, giving it a nice, flowy feel. It's easily my new favourite tee. 

So that's it my lovelies. That's all I bought from my little thrift. I feel very satisfied, happy and can't wait for tomorrow to wear them somewhere! Tell me, which of the 6 pieces do you like best / suits your style ?

Sometimes, it's good to enjoy the beat and rhythm of the song, rather than the lyrics. Here's a spanish song for you guys :)
