Last week, I just picked up this vintage 1980's Dorothy Perkins two-piece co-ordinate. I'm familiar with the label from shopping in London but I didn't realize that the company is over 90 years old. Wow, I can't even imagine how big their archive of styles must be.

Instead of wearing the matching top, I decided to pair it solo with a peach lingere slip. I love the colors together and it makes it feel fresher for summer. I'm planning on chopping a few inches off the skirt so it'll be below my knee. I kinda like how it looks as is...looks like culottes in the photo (a trend I'm loving right now). 

I tied a silk scarf into a bow on my head just for fun. Here's a tip I discovered to keep the bow from flipping and flopping...I used bobby pins (just two) on the inside of the bow.

Each item worn was thrifted for under $10. Actually, most of my thrifted finds are usually under $10 as I like to take advantage of 50% sale days.  I'm wondering if I could do a whole outfit (head to toe) for under $10? Now that's tough! Anyone done that?

xo,
