paisley blind

when you are used to being so busy, you only have a few hours to sleep, you don't know how to relax and have quiet time . . .

I always feel like if I'm sitting, I'm wasting my time. I know I annoy my family and my darling boy with my constant need to do something. I don't know how to chill . . . which is silly, really because I enjoy doing lots of different things, I have lots of interests, they just all cost money to do, which isn't great.

What do you like to do to relax?

I vibrate, on a high level :)

. . . aaaahhhhh. I like to blog, lets be honest.

what I'm wearing

paisley blouse - thrifted

jeans - RE:Jeans at Woolworths

lattice pumps - Mr Price

turquoise Semi-precious stone ring - Market, Wynberg

I am LOVING my turquoise stone rings! These stones are such a great colour against my skin and look amazing with all my other jewelry, gold and silver.

and the shirt.
I found it at my trusty thrift store :) Big, poofy bell sleeves. Paisley pattern, orangy purple colouring. Rouged A-Line style, baby doll. Lacing detail on the sleeve edge. Just awesome. Well made, vintage-styled swing top.

thrifting is fun

I went to s Charity Shop yesterday for the first time in this country yesterday. I was really surprised as I thought the stuff in there would be old and useless, although I was wrong. My sister, Jess, had told me about it a few days ago and I decided to have a look :)

Was interesting, clean and had a lot of choice variety, and really cheap. I mean, it was no Oxfam, but St Lukes was pretty cool.

I found this 1950's elasticated waisted floral shirt . . . I was loving it, so bought it and a shirt. Thrifting is fun.

Louise, of Coffee and a Cardigan is good at finding great things in these stores, and so I thought I'd try too :)
