Thanks so much for all your very sweet comments on my refashion and engagement. The winners of the give away are BagQueen and Amy, picked at random by Doug who closed his eyes and aimed at the screen twice :) I really like doing the give away, so expect more in future posts!
I will be making up your envelopes of craftiness as soon as I get back from a short break next week, I shall post them to you :) Just need your addresses, email me at minnietheminks(at)gmail.com
Here is a pic of some of my other recent op-shop finds.
These shoes are so sweet on and I plan on making one of the 1960's tops from this cute pattern I picked up, I think view two below...
Love her hair and lippy! One other great find was a book of the first 10 years of fashion in the life of Princess Diana. The book is jam packed with pictures, which can be great reference for me if I ever make costumes for a production of her life, te he. But they are also quite funny too, lots of bad 1980's fashion going on.
There is still some fashions that I really liked...
Cute flats, yummy pink dress and a huge overcoat!
Big belt, printed top... maybe ditch the match-y shoes!
I love this whole outfit from the sunnies, bag, collar on the blouse, big chunky bracelet, stripey pants and you know she does get away with that hairdo!
I will be absent from the blog for the next 5 days as I am off on my last holiday in New Zealand for a wee while. Looking forward to soaking in the natural spas, bliss.

Ah, lovely finds! Can't wait to see you make up that top, I really like the neckline with the roll...
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Di's blouse in your last pic, that little tie is so chic. Don't know if I'm quite suited to high-waisted, pleat-front striped seersucker pants but they look great on her. I just finished reading a biography of Laura Ashley that I got from the oppy- Di wore LOTS of Laura Shley clothes thru the seventies and early eighties, including that famous skirt that turned see-through on her!
