This outfit was created around the silk piece of fabric you see coming out of my jacket. The story behind this item is that it had been given to me by my 80 years old aunt who used to be a seamstress. I've been toying around with it for some time but silk is difficult to sew so I never ventured until this summer. For a while, I was into researching( the scientific term for endless hours of Pinterest) very basic patterns of sewing mostly from Japanese magazines. Then, I came across groups that were into hand sewing only. When I saw this video and this video I decided to make a long scarf cardigan. This is how I wore it.
I don't know why I chose a sporty look to go with it but I don't regret it now that I see the photos.

On another note, I went thrifting today since last spring. I scored 4 beige/tan sweaters (new) for 8 euros.
I will post photos and will wear them soon enough because a bit of cold weather is required and there is no sign of cold weather in Crete, yet.( not that I complain!).
I can see a pattern developing about my thrifting habits here. I work in a school as a teacher which means 9 months of everyday different outfits. That's when I blog the most and thrift the most. In summer time the need for dressing( other than very casual staying at home or going to the beach) is limited. That's when I usually don't post often or when I purge like mad. Only the most favorites of the winter thrifting extravaganga stay.( I exept here the days I work/help my husband for AutoRentals-Crete)
And then I go back to school and off I start again.
I believe that because I managed to tidy effectivelly my house the KonMarie method and took the Project 333 I was able to clearly see the pattern.
How about you? Do you notice similar patterns in your dressing/thrifting experience?
