something vintage, something ethnic

I've heard people shop from vintage stores and i've seen people wear pretty unique items which they bought from vintage shops. It didn't appeal to me thou having the thought that they are old and second hand until last week i came across one in our neighbourhood and walked in out of curiosity. I stayed in there for about 15 minutes and came out with a few already:) The blouse and the skirt i wear today are what i got from there, and also the bag which i think ispecanspecial and cute:)

I never think too much when i buy things, such as how to wear them, what should i wear to combine and match, that's why i find this skirt  so boring when i was trying to wear it today. It just looks boring with any tops that i thought might go with it. so.....in the end, i decided to go " mad" , vintage on vintage, colour on colour, ethnic on ethinic...well, i'm already confused of what i'm doing here, just have a look and you may have your own conclusion :)

  7. Wow I love this! Its so eclectic, and has a modern kimono-esque feel to it. The prints work fantastically and I love how you've used a scarf as a cummerbund type belt! :)
