Ebay ♥ thriftwares

Light neutral colours like beige, cream, grey, baby blue and blush are everywhere this season and I'm just loving the airy romance of it all. I especially like pairing delicate, angelic pieces like my blush silk Wilfred kimono or my cream silk georgette T. Babaton blouse with something edgier like my leather Club Monaco shorts or my black drapey Wilfred harem pants.

I also like how Ebay vintage stores always reflect the trends of the season (still lots of leather shorts out there) even though their items are from the previous century. That way, you're not just buying old pieces for the sake of owning old pieces and you're incorporating vintage items into your contemporary wardrobe. For awhile I was really into 50s housewife dresses and I bought a couple but I still have yet to wear them. They're gorgeous but they're just not practical because they're too costumey.

Thriftwares, one of my favourite Ebay stores has a lot of neutrals listed as auctions right now. Here's a few pieces from their most recent selection:

I really like some of the pink dresses and the last dress except the navy blue dress with the pink bows is too small and wouldn't fit me. Oh, to be a skinny bitch.
