Sydney’s Vintage Glitz & Sequinned Kitsch
Rawr :: Watts // Big Up // No flashI’m back from my little three and a half day jaunt to Sydney. I managed to do quite a bit of vintage browsing, although the only fashion purchase I made was a 1960s black and white crocheted raffia cloche that looks very 1920s on. (I have to tilt my chin to a severe angle to see out, so it makes me look like a snooty flapper.)
Pink & Polka-Dotted :: Watts // Big Up // No flashSome of the other delicious things I saw – but didn’t buy – included a 70s lilac blouse with enormous accordion-pleated sleeves (sweltering on), and a wonderful 1980s silk sequinned tiger tee. The latter was $300, and just too expensive for my budget, especially considering the large number of sequinned tops I already own. While I had been there last year, this trip I also discovered that the vintage boutique Grandma Takes a Trip has an upstairs – joy! It was full of gorgeously coloured treasures. I just need to find some more room in my own closet.
