eBay Buys
Filed in: Fashion, Secondhand, Shoes, Shopping
I am sorry for being a little slow on posting right now. I´m very busy these days and a lot of things are going on. Hopefully I´ll have some good news to share in a while. When I have no time for shopping I´m instead looking forward to my latest eBay purchases to arrive. Today I got two.
It was a coincidence that I ended up with these shoes cause I haven´t been looking for anything like it. The thing is that I kept searching for studded shoes, and these were the only ones that came up. Not at all what I had I mind, but still I ended up getting them. They are all leather, hand sewn and very comfortable.
I have already started to think about spring and all the ethnic looks inspired me to get this sarong made out of vintage silk saris. They can be worn in a 100 different ways (you get a booklet or DVD with the purchase), and the two layers makes sure you can change between several looks. Either wear it as a long skirt or a knee length dress, or even a top. The possibilities are endless. They start at $10 and I got mine for $11 or $12. You can get them from Vintage Silk Wraps.

Oh that’s beautiful! Can you take a picture of the sarong/dress/thing unwrapped spread flat on a surface? I still can’t tell how it gets into all those styles.

Hilariously, some similar shoes were featured on Who What Wear Daily. They are stealing your style!

I’ve been trying to get my mum to give me some of her old saris to make skirts out of for quite some time..hopefully this will convince her. The pink layer is especially gorgeous..

Nice! Really cute!

oh my!!! i used to have a favourite pair of shoes nearly identical to those! i think yours are better quality, though.
ive never seen such a beautiful sarong-not with the two layer vintage silk, things seem to be much less quality in the usa, here.

the sarong is beautiful, and you found one with such pretty silk colors and patterns! do you think they would me makeable? it seems the two layers are not sewn back to back. would you mind telling me how it seems to be sewn?
