hunting and gathering

vintage shopping over the weekend, found me kind of lusting over this interseting belt… so doesnt go with my outfit but im loving the 'sculpture'-like nature of it… lets face it, the buckle kind of looked like it had been run over by a car but i really liked the colour usage with and i'm going to use the buzz word... colour-blocking. 
shopping over the weekend in (wintery) melbourne left me absolutley STARVED for colour! there is so much dullness out there as mentioned in this article about J brands bright denim bases.great read! 

bright colour, and the right colour is what the fashionistas are wanting. a few(colour)blocks across town my stylist friend found this orange sweater at another vintage shop… and it was the same time (we were picture msging each other - only realised now how dorky i am sticking my tongue out… it's hereditary by the way) and we stumbled upon a great epiphany…. when retail is not fast enough to give you what you need.. you are left with no choice but to go vintage.

TAKE ONE STEP BACK TO TAKE TWO STEPS FORWARD 

(that saying makes so much sense now!!)

so now THATS fashion.
i am clearly not dressed colour blocked and the belt doesn't match but you get the idea.





and heres some more colour block inspiration ive been sitting on for a bit.
