My friend and I want to do the Brisbane Zombie Walk next weekend, so we spent some time today shopping in the Paddington op shops (thrifit/second hand stores) to find something suitable to wear. Best place in Brisbane to thrift!
I bought a few things: a blazer, a beautiful maxi skirt, an orange belt, an amazingly bright orange top, this cute belted bracelet and some options for next weekend. Everything was pre-owned so it doesn't break my October "buy nothing new month" challenge, thankfully as I've been so bad at sticking to it! Was really good to spend the day together browsing the different stores and trying various costume ideas.

It was cool in the morning but warm during the day so I tied my scarf to my bag for the majority of the day. Wanted to wear comfortable shoes for all the walking we would be doing, and minimal accessories so I could try things on easily. It's best to ignore sizes when thrifting and just try things on anyway, you never know! I'm wearing a singlet under my tee too so I could try things on outside the change rooms if needed. I've worn lots of these things together before so I knew I'd be comfortable, and I was able to spend more time browsing and less in change rooms :)

So cold today, need a nice warm knit. There was snow in some parts of Australia due to the surprise cold snap. Definitely another reason to keep my knits, boots and scarves out for a little longer! The tree in the back yard has lost a good chunk of it's leaves with the wind and there are a few tree branches about. Even our photo spot was filled with leaves from nearby trees.

No Cooper in the photos today, he was on the other side of the lens helping DH take pictures. So cute :)

This necklace is one of the items from my "Buy Nothing New Month" challenge failing purchases last week. A few of us in the office placed an order at Cotton On together to take advantage of the free shipping, and myself and another lady bought this necklace. She wasn't too impressed when it arrived as it was larger than she expected - so I told her I'd wear it today to show how great statement necklaces can be. What do you think, how would you have worn it?
