Thriftbag Thursday

It's been a funny old week. All the snow has gone and there have been a few days of t-shirt weather. It's also been a busy, satisfyingly exhausting week. We had to run outside for just a few moments to get these snaps.

There's only really one thrifted piece in this outfit, but I think it's a great one!
Batwing Sweater: River Island (UK)  
Got this is a sale a few years ago. It's three sizes too big.
But pin it up and it's a great baggy sweater.

Brooch: Gift from my nan.
One of her old brooches. She knows I'm a brooch fan.
 
  Bag: A gift from a friend on the Scottish Isle of Lewis.
 I think it's from by rosie, a beautiful boutique in Stornoway.
I love her Harris Tweed bags and hoodies.

 Skirt: Thrifted!
$3 from a local thrift store. 
This store has random sales so I'm never
 quite sure what I'm going to end up paying. 

Shoes: Bourgeois Boheme (London)
Fair trade and vegan brogues.
The soles are pulling away though, as you can see.
I tried wood glue - anyone have other tips?
 
Here's to a productive next week…
