15 days. And a dress.

Firstly, this is a dress I got at the last iheartmarket that I've been meaning to blog about for ages but procrastination etc.  Anyway, here it is.  I wasn't too sure about it at first because the style of the dress is quite old and it's pretty long so I think I'm going to take it up a bit.  It's different to any of my other dresses but I quite like it.

Also in case you had't noticed: it's August.  Basically the best month of the year.  When I first started typing this post I thought there were 16 more days until I turn 16, which would have been pretty cool but it turns out there are only 15 days.  To put it simply, I'm excited.  Which is weird, considering I don't usually get that worked up over birthdays etc.  Yay yay yay.

Vinyl.

For a while now I've been thinking about how amazingly cool it would be to have a record player.  In fact I've even bought some records before, despite not having anything to play them on and have used them to decorate my room.  Anyway this changed recently when my grandad said that I could have his old record player.  I was as excited as a five year old on Christmas Day and rushed home to set it up.  Considering it's over 40 years old it still works really well.  My grandparents also passed on their record collection to me and so the sounds of Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Queen have been filling the house since Thursday.

I also had a chance to buy a few records from the SPCA Kloof secondhand shop.  It's basically a garage with roof to floor shelves of records ranging from R5 to R20.  It's like record heaven.  I also bought another from the iheart market this morning.  They cost more around R50 but they are in slightly better shape.

This is the last jersey I promise...

This morning I went to the I Heart Market at the Moses Mabhida Stadium with the family.  I love going down there once a month to nibble on macaroons and turkish flatbread and have a look at all the stunning second clothing stalls. This morning was even more lovely with the knowledge that my exams are all out of the way.  Anyway, seeing as though I seem to be going through a stage of wanting to buy anything and everything secondhand it's unusual for me to go to a market and leave without spending a large chunk of my pocket money.  This morning I outdid myself and left with a new clutch purse, button-up blouse and what I promised my mom to be 'the last jersey'.  It's not that I own hundreds of them, the sum total is now six, but seeing as though I live in Durban they're not really needed for the most part of the year- unless you plan on passing out after the first five minutes outside.  I'm clearly not supposed to be living somewhere so humid and hot.  Ah well, one day I guess...

My clutch.

 Button up blouse.  Please excuse the weird cropping out of heads and dozy facial expressions- I'm still trying to master my camera's self timer.

The cute little buttons.  Aaaaaand...

Taadaa! Eewie that's a bad picture. But sadly the best I can do for now.  But 'yaaay' for the jersey.
