March-July Accessory Shopping: Romantic Military

March to July Accessories

Starting from the top left to bottom right: Grey fingerless gloves from Portmans, Cameo beret (Beret purchased in Comrades, Cameo from Trademe), Black rosary from Factorie, Silver bow earrings from Portmans, Holly Golightly earrings from Atruim on Elliot, Key necklace from Factorie, Gold ‘Lovely’ hoop earrings from Factorie, Gold bird ring from Covet, Gold charm watch from Fossil, Coral gloves from Peachy Keen.

Because I have neglected documenting my purchases for FIVE MONTHS I’m breaking it up into two posts. There’s kind of a feminine/military theme going on, which is an odd mix but I like it.

Everything from Factorie I bought on their store launch in Sylvia Park, and the fingerless gloves not long after. I picked the bow earrings because they were similar to the Karen Walker bow earrings, and I’m a big fan of Breakfast at Tiffany's so after deliberating for a few seconds I used the last of my July money to buy the Holly Golightly earrings. I’ve always envied American girls in films who had nameplate earrings, so it was nice to pick a cute  cheap pair for myself. I wanted the gold bird ring to complement my newly fixed Fossil charm watch (it’s been sitting in a drawer for two years because the battery ran out). And the gloves were picked up during a scouting tour of the Peachy Keen store inside Real Groovy. I always thought I would own a black or white pair, but the store owner told me having a pair with colour was a much better choice.

Nothing I bought here (except the watch which doesn’t count) was over $30, which proves you can still find a bargain if you know where to look!
