Friday's favorite thrift finds


Bonjour folks! Today I am starting a new type of post, featuring vintage items I have found while shopping for my shop. Sometimes I come across things that I just have to keep for myself and these are them this week. I hope you all enjoy this post, my favorite has to be the glasses pouch, I can actually fit two pairs in there, my prescriptions ones and my shades. On top here you can see a bright yellow 60s cardigan, I love it paired with my cat printed cream blouse, it is like they were made for each other.



I rarely come across vintage Levis in this town, I found these mystery ones the other day, they fit like 501's but they have a zipper instead of buttons. I wonder what model these were. I remixed these in an outfit post yesterday that I will share with you all tomorrow :)


I am in awe over this black cardigan, the label indicates that it comes from France, I just love those French pieces they have a certain flare to them that you don't get from regular clothing. I love the peter pan collar trompe l'oeil  detail on the front.


This necklace makes me smile, I like that the color is neutral so it goes perfect with any colorful collared blouse. I got this for a steal I believe 0.50$


I am in love with this vintage Lucite monochrome chain necklace, I still have not worn it but I have big plans for it.


These shoes! I love them, they are Italian made all leather, super soft and look like a Ferragamo cut but with a 60s mod vibe. Again I have big plans for these once it shoes weather time again.


and finally, this Lucite hair bow clip, it is the perfect little barette to go in an up doo. I can fit my super thick hair in this one for a change.

That's it for this mini collection of my favorite vintage finds of the week I hope you all enjoyed it :)

xo!

Lots of lovely finds, I have a cat print dress that looks similar to your blouse. I adore lucite and vintage plastic jewelry so am enamored with your black & white necklace and little bow clip. Nifty Mod shoes too!

The shoes and the lucite chain are amazing. I love the yellow cardigan with the cat shirt, a match made in heaven indeed!
You always have such great finds, I'm a bit jealous :)

I used to have a beaded purse just like that when I was a little kid! So nostalgic right now.
