My pants are too big, how about yours??

Remember the black pants with the bobbles on the hem that I found the other day, well I decided I had to wear them today.  I knew they were too big but thought what the hell.  I have spent the day with the crutch sliding down to my knees!!  Well not quite that far as I have a Kardashian sized arse at the moment which thankfully kept them from hitting the ground!!  I will take them in so this doesn't happen again as they are so very comfy.

I wore them with the Kimono sleeved top I got the other day and my Aqua wedge shoes, so my entire outfit today was all second hand and cost naf all.  Originally some one paid a fortune for each part of this outfit, and to them I say, "Thank you"!!  My photo bombing animals just had to get in on the action.

Over the last two days while tooing and froing from my jobs I have called in on a couple of op shops.  The skirt is a perfect layering piece for me, the Queen of layering.  The knitted blonde Frida look alike I think is a loo paper cover and it was in amongst kids toys.  So beautifully made and deserved to be in a bathroom not a toy box.  Loads of gorgeous lace to add to my stash of trims, and a couple of beautiful old sheets for my fabric stash.  I love this old cake tin, just like we had as kids and will hopefully get a cake inside it later this week.  The table runner has a beautiful Peacock each end.  All priced from $1 to $5.

I was asked the other day what I did with all the things I buy.  What I do not keep and use for myself I on sell.  This way I can maintain my lifestyle of part time worker, part time moocher.  I call it my balance, and it so works for me.  TOF calls it something completely different!!

I found some things for other people today while I was out, which is something I enjoy doing.  So it isn't all about me!!

And today's message is from my animals!!


***BYE***

Isn't it wonderful when things are too big and not too tight. I love your blue shoes in the previous post. Gorgeous!

Argh, the doggie tin!!! And the peacock thingys, and the blue lace!
Ha, I frequently have tights falling down to my knees, but usually wear safety pants to keep them up!
Pom Poms are a REVELATION! Bless!
