BUTTERCUP PLEATED SKIRT $20

Nothing marked but I would say it's a size 12-14. However if someone smaller is interested in it, it can be easily worn cinched in with a belt to fit (or altered a little). Such a cute skirt though, beautiful pastel yellow colour!

P&H $8

~~HIP TO BE SQUARED MAXI SKIRT $20~~

Not marked but seems like a size 8. The pattern on this maxi is actually little squares in squares, I'll upload a close up soon too! I loveeee this. I actually bought it for myself until I've started to realise I have too many maxi skirts. Also, the front part as you can see hangs down but there is a tie on the side - just another way to wear it!

~~P&H $8~~

GIRAFFA CAMELOPARDALIS MAXI SKIRT $20

HOW CUTE IS THIS SKIRT? Marked size 16. But anyone really can wear this! If I were to, I'd wrap it around and belt it OR if you'd like I can alter it for you for an extra $5.

P&H $8

NEW CLOTHING - arriving soon!

2011-02-09T21:00:00.000-08:00

Hey all! Just a little update to let you all know that there is BRAND NEW CLOTHING arriving next week. Of course as well as other PRE-LOVED stuff and VINTAGE.

I know I don't have a whole lot up at the moment, cos I've been trying to get my money together to purchase this new stuff. I'm hoping you'll like it cos I think some of it is gorgeous.

Anyway, I've started a proper blog rather than clogging up space here with my mindless banter - you can go read some here @ QUIRKY OBSESSIONS.
Haven't got much up yet! But it shall be about things that I love - Fashion (Of course), Cooking, Languages etc. So head on over there if you're bored with this already ;)

Love you all, thanks for the support!

ACCESSORIES

2011-02-07T21:25:00.000-08:00

If you'd like to be the new owner of any of these accessories EMAIL la.friperie.clothing@gmail.com

BUCKET BAG GREY $25

UNUSED. Sorry the picture isn't too good... The colours never turn out well when I take them later in the day. Pretty sure Mum got me this from overseas. Not that I need new bags, I have a million of them and tend to stick to using the same ones!

P&H $10

BROWN BAG ~~$18~~ $15

Brand Levi's. Mum got me this one from Hawaii, I think. I've only ever used it once. So in perfect condition!

P&H $8

SHOES

2011-02-05T19:16:00.000-08:00

Ok guys, I know it seems I'm getting lazy. Although I do have to say you have been amazing and the full box of clothing that I started with, only now has a few measly items in the bottom. I have more things that I could potentially sell... but there are some I think are probably better off at the salvos.

HOWEVER... I do have a whole bunch of BRAND NEW stuff coming in soon, so keep your eyes pealed on this spot!

Anyway, I thought I should get off my backside and update you with some SHOES that I'm getting rid of. They are all in super good condition... most barely worn and brand name ones too... mostly because I have a rediculous big toe that doesn't fit into shoes that are narrow or small at the front. This means that I generally have to go for half sizes and sometimes you can't get them.

Hey, enough of my ranting. Here are the shoes!

DIANA FERRARI SHOES LIGHT GREEN & SILVER $20

Size 7.5

These ones I bought for ballroom dancing back in the day because we were supposed to wear heels. Although the heel on these is tiny and not really appropriate, it was only because Mum didn't want me wearing heels regularly back then.

P&H $8

KOOKAI FURRY BALLET FLATS BLACK $25

Marked size 38.

These ones I bought in France because a friend and I were sick of our own clothes after 5 months of wear so we swapped and her shoes were slightly too small for me. Can't say that these ones were any better. My big toe doesn't agree with these ones. Sigh. Didn't get much wear out of them.

I had several pairs similar to this but other brand names... Mum didn't want me to sell them :(

P&H $8

MISS SHOP BROWN & GOLD KITTEN HEELS $15

Size 8

Ended up buying these ones for ballroom dancing in the end. The heel measures 5.5cm.. hmm I wonder why I got a size 8. I can't say I've ever found a size 8 shoe that's fit. (Now I guess except for these. Odd)

P&H $8

WHITE, GOLD & BLACK DRESS $25

Only worn once. This was my year 11 formal dress, something that I had to pick pretty quickly after I came back from France. The material is cotton and polyester. It's really not all that formal, this is something that you could go out in.

WHY LA FRIPERIE?

2011-01-25T03:01:00.000-08:00

MOT DU JOUR: Friperie
DEFINITION: Used/Second hand clothing store
EXAMPLE: Je vais donner tous mes vêtements à la friperie - I'm going to give all my clothes to the op shop.
Related: la fripe (inf) - the clothing business (new or used); friper - to crumple/crush; un fripier - second-hand clothes dealer

In my attempt to de-clutter my life this year, I started a massive clean out of my room. I never realised exactly how many clothes I have until I pulled everything out of the wardrobe and tried to sort through it all. It's been a much bigger job than I initially thought it would be! (Two weeks later and I still haven't finished) Along with this came the idea to start a blog shop, basically somewhere for me to put my new Canon EOS 500D to use and perhaps get rid of the copious amount of clothing that has piled up over the years.

So here's to the beginning of La Friperie and to the beginning of a more organised life for me!

1&2. My new garment rack (because even after the clean out my clothes still don't all fit in my wardrobe)
3. Lovin' my newly organised wardrobe - makes life just that little bit easier
