I can’t help but love this post! The colours, the layers, the jewels, the fun! This outfit really embodies everything that I love about living in a warmer climate. Speaking of warmth, spring is really starting to feel like summer here in Melbourne. So of course when we experienced our first hot sunny day, I hunted down the biggest, most floppy summer hat that I could get my pretty little hands on! It also turned out to be quite the attractive purchase as well, ringing in at a smashing $20.00, thank you very much! Hit that shit up girl!
Now I know what you’re thinking, “That cape is so ballin, I gotta get me one of those bad boys on my body riiiight noooow!” Well I’ve got some good and bad news for you. Lets start with the bad news so that we can end this lovely experience on a high, shall we? Unfortunately (for you, not me!) the cape is vintage. Now the fact that the actual garment is vintage isn’t the negative here, that’s pretty awesome. Buuuut, because this beautiful red woollen masterpiece is in fact vintage, chances of there being more available for purchase are slim to natta! Don’t get downhearted though! There’s so so much more vintage greatness in store for you ahead! Wanna know how I can tell? Here’s the good bit of the story!
I just so happened to purchase this cape at a wonderful market, that takes place every Sunday, right here in Melbs! If you haven’t heard of the Camberwell Market yet, you’re so very welcome! I’ve just changed your life! Trust me, get on over there next Sunday and your life will never be the same. And for god sakes girl, take at least three environmental/re-useable cloth bags with you because you’re gonna be hauling a lot of shit home! Basically this market is ginormous and is compromised of local designer apparel, accessories, used furniture and clothing, antiques and pretty much anything that can be sold. Did I also mention that there are heaps of beautiful fresh flowers to purchase and yummy coffee to drink!
If you do end up going on an adventure to the market, instagram your hunted treasures and tag me @youngonehunting I’d love to see what you find! Happy hunting!
