I have a busy weekend ahead of me, flogging some lovely clothes, shoes, and paper goods at a little "boot-ique" fair called Loved Worn & Reborn. Taking place from 2pm - 5pm on Sunday, at Brighton's St Luke's Church Hall on Exeter Street, it promises not only vintage fashion galore, but also mulled wine, manicures, and festive foodie treats; perfect for a chilly December afternoon! Check it out on Facebook, or go
here for further information. I just hope I don't end up spending more money than I make.
I've been pricing up my wares this evening, and mourning the potential passing of some really beautiful clothes. Here are just some of my picks from my little stall - five of the items that I think I'll miss the most; I hope they find their way to a loving new home!
 |
| Brocade swing coat with bracelet length sleeves, £25. |
 |
| Vollers PVC under-bust corset with 22" waist, £15. I am way too, err, womanly for this these days. |
 |
| Gorgeous handmade vintage paisley dress (which makes me feel like a character in a Russian folk tale), £20. |
 |
| Vintage black and white dress with collar, £20; the costume Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland should have worn! |
 |
| A handsome Vivienne Westwood Anglomania skirt, £35. |
If you come along, you can also expect to see me flogging fashion by French Connection, Reiss, Whistles, Burberry and more, as well as some great vintage pieces, from the paltry sum of £5. Accessories will start from a quid. I was planning to sell the handmade dress pictured below, too, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I really have loved and worn these items, and sometimes it's too much of a wrench to sell them. I've only worn it out once since I bought it, and it doesn't sit right at the back, but I can't give it up! Pesky materialist ideology penetrating my feeble psyche... Looks cute though, right?
