Oh hello! I
haven’t blogged for one whole year and I wasn’t actually sure if I would come
back to it. But in the past months I’ve been lucky enough to meet and be
inspired by some fellow thrifty fashion lovers and just couldn’t resist the
urge to talk about my op shopped outfits. So here I am!
Also I’m
getting married next month and I’ve
been meticulously planning all my wedding outfits (including my honeymoon wardrobe) for literally a whole year, so god knows I want
to talk about them! Starting with this one, from our engagement photo shoot.
Our
wonderful wedding photographers thought we should do a practice photo shoot
before the big day, to make sure everyone (ahem, Luke) was comfortable in front
of the camera. So we traipsed down to Fremantle on a blustery Saturday arvo and
shot these pictures. I’ll be forever grateful for them.
It was
incredibly challenging to choose an outfit for the shoot, I wanted to look
casual, but also vaguely bridal. I wanted to match Luke, but not too matchy. I
wanted to wear something that looked like ‘me’ and also I wanted it to be
second hand… so I did make it a bit hard for myself! After trying on pretty
much everything in my wardrobe twice, I landed on this white Camilla and Marc
dress which I haven’t worn for ages because it needed to be ironed… it’s
literally been sitting in my wardrobe for 3 years waiting for the day to come
where I felt like ironing. Well, the day finally came!
Can we also
just take a moment to appreciate how adorable Blue is?! Luke was so embarrassed
to be having a photo shoot with our dog, but I insisted she come along and she
ended up being the star of the show. Her little red bandana is just the
cutest thing ever, I’m definitely going to keep any eye out for more when I’m
op shopping!
