Cheeky Legs!


This is what I wore to the Art of Elegance Fair on the weekend. I am particularly loving this gorgeous 50s handpainted Mexican skirt. It's deadstock and was quite cheap on Etsy, I don't think the seller quite knew the treasure she had.



The skirt has painted Senoritas with little 3D flippable skirts which show off their legs! Aycarumba!






My lucite purse was a bargain from eBay for $35. It's swirled tortoiseshell which is a fabulous color that goes with anything. My jewellery (you may have to click on pics to see them better) is a 1940s sterling silver Mexican set in green stone. I got the bracelet with matching earrings on Etsy for $30.

 I am a bargain finding QUEEN!



The hair flower was made by Steve El'Roca, or Uncle Fezter as he is known by us flower ho's.

    you always have the best finds! Your outfit is great. Beautiful flowers too, I love how everything kinda belongs together but so easily transfered to another out-fit tomorrow... Know what I mean?

      MIx and matches are a MUST. But I have been known to buy a hat just for one dress...but not very often.

    You look great! What a great find! I've been wanting a vintage Mexican skirt but they are so expensive. I always have the hope of finding one at some garage sale.

      The hope of finding one in Oz cheap is impossible, so the best I hope for are cheap auction starts on ebay and then hope noone else bids on it!

    Amazing! That skirt is to die for. I don't know how you find such great bargains, but I'd love it if you'd share some of your shopping mojo with me! :) I love the black and green flowers, too, I've been making my own and those are very inspiring.

    What deals! What steals! That skirt is amazing enough, but with the little flip-up skirts it's completely over-the-top fabulous.
    That handbag was truly a steal...I can't believe you got it for so cheap.
    A super-cute outfit!!
