Sometimes, though, mall stores will surprise you. It hit me last night how many times it's happened to me. These pieces are pretty special - They would have to be, for me to buy them! :)
This blouse has fantastic colours, and a strong resemblance to 1940's Jezebel blouses when worn. (Found at The Gap.)
I love the ruffle on this silky black blouse. It looks fantastic when paired with a pencil skirt. (Picked up at Sirens for a song.)
The day I bought these, which was at least 5 years ago, I was wondering where I could find high waisted 1940's style trousers. (Who knew I'd find them at Old Navy?)
This summer skirt makes me smile, not just because of its sunny colour, but because it rustles loudly when I walk! (Also found at Old Navy.)
I plundered 3 malls up and down the day I found this beauty. (Dynamite hasn't failed me yet!)
I don't usually wear A-line skirts, but this chocolate brown corduroy affair is so warm in the winter! (Found at H&M.)
This dress is the best! You can't see, but it has shiny silver pinstripes. It's styled exactly like Marilyn's iconic white halter. (I love Suzy Shier.)
I feel in love with this dress for its colour and amazing 1940's styling. It's the kind you'd see dangerous Film Noir vixens in, and that's exactly how it makes me feel. (Another Suzy Shier find!)
There was a time in my life when I didn't have this dress. I walked aimlessly through stores, feeling neither here nor there about anything. Then my gaze fell upon this delicious garment. I tried it on, and discovered it was tailor-made for me. Things have never been the same. (We met at HBC.)
My mum brought this gorgeous swing dress home for me one afternoon, and I was disheartened that it didn't fit me. She took it in here, and let it out there, and now it's perfect. (Isaac Mizrahi for Fairweather.)Tell me about your serendipitous mall finds!
