Newbies/Rail

When you have a problem with space in your wardorbe what do you do?
In my case I have two wardrobes, plus one thinner wardrobe of just shelves for shoe boxes. After gradually loosing all space in al of the wardobes, I came to a little dilema. The first; no more space for shoes (this is not good), at first I was piling the offending boxes up at the end of my bed. Problem solved. Then there became no more space for clothes any more, and without the space for a possible third wardrobe in my room how was I going to stop the problem of clothes hanging on the outside of the wardrobes? I decided it would be a good idea to buy a rail. They are cheap, and you can put alot on them. Second problem solved. It now stands at the end of my bed, gathering clothes like a surface gathers dust. I am very happy with it, and the fact that it has a place for shoe boxes at the bottom, makes it 10 times better.

On another note ive been buying alot more vintage lately so I'll show you whats taking up the new rail space. Firstly eBay finds....
I woke up to a pile of packages the other day.

Urban Outfitters Renewal Blue Sparkly  Velvet bodycon dress...

Vintage Deep Red velvet bodycon dress.....


I found these Topshop 'Strike' shoes in my size on ebay. They had only been worn for  few hours.....

Vintage Purple plaid jacket. I am in love with this. Its so comfortable and just goes with everything....

Vintage Leopard Print shirt dress.... It cost me £2.99.


These Vintage Cutoff Levi's look light grey in the photo but they are more washed out purple. I love the deep pockets on Vintage Levi's.

Ok, now there is a bit of a story to these shoes. They are red ponyskin and are from River Island and when I saw them on ebay I fell in love and had to have them. When it came time to bidding on them I was at work and had to bid on my blackberry which was being so slow. So unfortunately I didnt get them. About 4 days later I got a message from the ebay seller saying that the winninng bidder hadn't paid for them and she was wondering if I would still be interested in buying them. I was over the moon to say the least. So now they take pride of place in my ever growing shoe collection. They are very comfortable and so easy to walk in.



Now onto Camden vintage finds. I bought this black velvet jacket for £5.


This Def Leppard t-shirt is a mens XXL. I cut the sleeve holes larger when i took the sleeves off.

I got this red plaid shirt and I have been living in it, throwing it on over everything. Its cropped and missing a button but love it anyway.

And lastly a silly picture of my new round sunglasses that I bought in Camden for £5.

I can see the rail filling up fast. Don't know what to do when I run out of space after this. Maybe a walk in wardrobe? That would be nice.

p.s. please excuse the photography. My camera is on the blink. I might need a new one.
