CHRISTIE CAME TO WELLINGTON AND IT WAS REALLY FUN. She came to look around universities but I'm gonna pretend she came just to visit me and go vintage shopping and eat amazing food, which is what we did all weekend.
I've been working normal-people hours at my normal-people job and I now remember the joys of a Friday afternoon, and how great it feels to have two wonderful days of freedom and sleep-ins ahead of you, and my afternoon was made even better by seeing Christie. Man, I have missed her. We vintage shopped and had a cheap noodle dinner (Satay Kingdom, you are my everything), and then did the same thing on Saturday except with a slightly fancier dinner. It was so nice seeing the city through new eyes. Pix:
Christie is wearing an opshopped lemon yellow angora jumper, a pale blue 1950s day dress from Emporium Vintage, Goldenponies t-bars and a Baggu backpack. Her rings are by Karen Walker and Steven Junil Park.
I am wearing a 50s-style dress by Papercup via Recycle Boutique, emerald green 1950s princess coat, Golenponies t-bars and a belt off another vintage dress. We accidentally wore the same colours and the same shoes, which many many people commented on. WE KNOW.
And we both bought lots of excellent things (which I can actually do now because employment) including a Ruby Boutique dress from 2008 that I have wanted ever since it came out, an amazing black beaded 1930s blouse (Christie) and this amazing perfect dress:
And it was perfect and fun and Christie needs to move here next year the end.

ReplyDeleteGlad it was such a nice day. The matching outfit thing is too funny. Yay, Pocky!
ReplyDeleteI think the two of you wearing matching outfits is awesome. I love Christie's angora jumper and your princess coat. I can't wait until Friday afternoons mean something other than, 'oh crap, I have so much uni work to do this weekend'.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks, I think this has happened to us before. Definitely a testament to both of our good taste. Uni is so much worse than working because it's like a never-ending battle, I wish my degree could just be over so I could just work full-time 4evaaaa.
Deleteoh what a perfect few days. you two are adorable, people always comment on matching outfits! its not even that weird!!! LOVE your coat!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! My coat is too small and doesn't button up but I insist on wearing it all the time anyway :)
DeleteA lovely fun article and great photos too thank you! As does everyone else, Royal Vintage loves the matching outfits!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to find a papercup dress at recycle boutique! Ginny makes beautiful clothes so you know you are getting great quality :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the second Papercup thing I've got there (the other being an amazingly full skirt) and I am so so happy! Their clothes are AMAZING and priced according to their lovely quality, but new they're a little out of my price range :(
DeleteAll pictures are looking very awesome. thanks for share with us.
