About two weeks ago I started sewing myself a skirt as I felt I needed something new and happy but didn't want to spend too much money. Well, I admit I actually only changed this skirt but it was a whole lot of work because it was huge and very long before, so it wasn't too easy to make a knee-length skirt out of it. Now I'm stuck and I feel like I'd ruined it, too. I'm afraid I took too much fabric - the fabric itself is gorgeous but it's quite thick and I look like a mushroom when I wear it. *big sigh* I hope to find a solution, cuz it's a cute skirt actually...

the flea market 2
The days are getting colder, so much colder... I'm already wearing my winter boots and coat and ask myself what to wear in winter, as I'm already freezing under five layers of clothes! But what the heck - it's still bearable, so what could be better than spending the last enjoyable fall mornings strolling through the local flea market, again? Right, I couldn't think of anything so at 9 o'clock I took my way south. I caught a few impressions from there, although most sellers are rather unhappy having their place's pictures taken...
And this is what I returned home with (not much but the little I bought is great!): a dangerous underwear petticoat skirt, which makes me so happy, as I was looking for one like that for a very long time. I love skirts but most of those I own don't have a slip skirt beneath. Now I got one for all of them! Plus a simple but lovely black skirt with folky decorations. Classy but down-to-earth.
This black velvet ethno bag I got for free because the front decorum has to be fixed... lucky me! It's a huge bag with a lot of space; I only got one big black bag and I definitely needed a second choice, so this is a lucky discovery for me! And the brooch is not that bad either...
Another supergreat discovery: a black digital portable cassette-player! This is my one retro obsession: I love cassettes and I love my cassette player. I got dozens and dozens of self-made cassettes which have to last another 80 years, at least! No iPod in my life (not yet) ;) Well, but my player is broken at the moment, and I don't have enough money to have it repaired. It cost 100 Euros and the one I found today is quite the same but cost only 2!!! And it works! My, what a difference a day makes! Happy Sunday, everybody! =)

Customizing!
If you are running out of money at the end of the month, shops are getting boring or it's just too cold and rainy to go outside to shop, there is nothing more gorgeous than customizing things you already own! Sometimes it's only details which change your clothes that much, you feel like just having bought new ones! Right now I am working on a deep purple volant corduroy skirt I never wore. I removed one of the volants to make it a little shorter and added some white cottage-style crotchet lace, which cost me about 3 Euros. It's not finished yet but I think it's a whole new skirt already =) The kitty likes it too!
