A question about getting rid of some clothes

I have a bunch of Vintage clothes and an empty bank account and I want to get rid of a bunch of  most of all of my Vintage clothes purchased in the vain hope that a) I would fit into at some point b) I would alter something ugly into something fabulous with some time and sewing or c) I would suit them when I got older... Well none of  those is happening so I'm going to sell every item of vintage that has not been worn in the last twelve months and get rid of it good and Proper, anyways I have about 20 vintage dresses and 10-15 other vintage clothing items between a size 14-32 that need to go and be out of my life soon what would be the best way to get rid of it? a) eBay b) Etsy c) a Big Cartel account or d) here 

all have pros and cons

I'm avoiding the Fatshionista Friday posts as a) i suck at live-journal b) I'm not near my computer all day to answer questions like "what's the circumference of the left arm during a full moon?" within ten minutes of being asked (slight exaggeration there) plus I hate that community on Friday Saturday I ignore it all together on those days. Plus postage from Australia ain't cheap and I hate haggling.

Sigh decisions decisions

Smell my armpit? Ha I made you smell my Armpit
Cardigan: Moda for Target  Australia
Top: Superhero top: Vigilante Labs via Etsy
Pants: Jersey Gauchos via Ebay
Shoes: Beth Ditto for Evans


I love this top I got it made by  fabulous Etsy seller Vigilante Labs who does great things with truly unique fabrics if you look closely it has snippets of comic books and flashes of action words I love clothes with onomatopoeia on them. if you want something unique truly unique try them they go up to 5XL and no one else will have something like it... well except for me

Stuff I want/ need/ On Etsy this week
















22 September 2009

the weekend of the $2 polka dot skirt


White Shirt: I'm going to guess Kmart I have whole bunch of these left over from my waitressing days.
Skirt: Thrifted and untagged
Belt: Thrifted and untagged
Shoes: evans.co.uk
Key necklace : made from key I found in a desk drawer and a silver necklace


I found  this skirt on rack at an Op Shop and I saw pleats and I saw navy polkadots and I saw $2 on the tag and I was in love.



Tank: Vigilante Labs via Etsy
Skirt: Thrifted and untagged
Belt: Thrifted and untagged
Shoes: evans.co.uk
Key necklace : made from key I found in a desk drawer and a silver necklace
Headscarf: Thrifted and Untagged


I also saw that the label had been torn out and I had no idea what size it was, I'm guessing it's a size 12 (I is a little bigger than that) but I sucked it up (and in) forced myself into that Mofo and I think I look pretty damn cute I've already worn it three times this week,having to wear the waistband under my tits (as my rib cage and tits are considerably smaller than my bottom bits ) and hidden under a wide belt but nobody seems to notice and better thing about wide belts is that my tits look spectacularrrr (you gotta roll the r) The white shirt outfit did get me man attention on my commute which means it must be mentally stored for when I am single again or for when I need heavy stuff lifted.

The second outfit witht the kiwifruit doubly rocks as the tank top is scratch and sniff and smells of kiwifruit, but some people are apprehensive when I tell them my top is scratch and sniff... I may phrase it as "my boobs smell like kiwi fruit if you rub them, wanna sniff?" still even when the smell goes, it will be a lovely top I love the colour.

Stripes, Spots and a Snarl

 
Cardigan: Regatta (dyed a less fug shade of red)
Leggings:???
Belt: Evans
Boots: Duo
I'm trying to lessen my impact on Mother Nature by not purchasing new clothes and instead wear only vintage... Ok that almost sounded convincing, I like vintage stuff I really do but I alas am not a flaxen haired ivory skinned waif who can make a polyester mu-mu look like Versace, instead my thick clumsy limbs and shock of hair tends makes 'Vintage' look like 'Crazy Bag lady I cross the street to avoid as she looks lik she would throw her faeces at me' anyways I'm trying again as I'm poor and I stick out like dogs balls anyway I may as well stick out like dogs balls in an outfit that sticks out like dogs balls.
That I when I saw this dress I HAD to have it! the colours! the stripes!, the pussy bow ! the fact that it was upcycled! the fact that no one else would ever own this baby! so I go her and I loved her so I took her out for one last outing before the Sydney summer forces her into a cupboard for the next six months.
Shame about the photo, It does not do the dress justice, or me, I'm looking mighty bland there.

My favourite dress all tucked in.

Top: Vintage dress from Thrush Vintage via etsy
Jeans: yoursclothing.co.uk
Flats: Evans
I love this dress so much I constantly dream of all the possible ways I could wear her tucked in layered over legging over, stockings, over bare legs how she would look worn backwards (found out bit stupid actually) and even just as a skirt, this ensemble has been the most popular one over the last month, the dress is appearing weekly often twice/ thrice weekly and more than often not unwashed and splattered with the coffee stains I acquire from my commute to work but in all honestly this dress could smell like goat and i'd pick it before many other items in my wardrobe.

In the Trenches


Trench: Ebay seller Lily0808168
Pants: Second hand: originally target
Camisole: Vigilante Labs via Etsy
Necklace: Diva
Cuff: Evans


I love this trench coat I acidentally purchased it thinking it was black but alas it was khaki and I'm so glad it was I love the tulip hem and the short sleeves (it's never cold enough in Sydney to justify a full trench coat (even though I have a full length bone coloured one and full length black leather one go figure) it was just all and all a great purchase for me, plus it's a great way to hide a multitude of sins namely the fact that I have a very bad habit of spilling my coffee all over myself every morning without fail.

My most favouritest dress ever... so far


Dress: Thrush via Etsy
Cardigan: Sara
Leggings: Have no Idea
Boots: Duoboots.co.uk
Necklace: Diva
Belt: evans.co.uk



I love red it's my favourite colour, I love polka dots it's my favourite pattern in fact if I had to style myself on anyone it would be Minnie Mouse

I'm actually amassing quite a collection of baw and polka dot adorned items and have styled the fro to resmemble ears.

This dress is actually amazing I think it's an old plus size beach cover-up from the 70's it's so bright and it's oddly versatile i often wear it blousey and tucked into jeans.
