You might as well add me to the Euro Value menu because I found this shirtdress for only €1 at the Goodwill Thrift Shop on Capel Street, long known as the fashion capital of Dublin (tounge firmly in cheek). Don’t ask me why I decided to wander down Capel St last Friday or why I decided to peak my head into Goodwill, but I did and emerged with this cute grey pinstripe shirtdress with pintucking and puffy sleeves–paid for with my last bits of change (I literally had to count out copper coins for this).

For a casual Saturday watching Spurs at the pub, I paired the dress with my jeggings and brown equestrian style boots, a grey cardigan, brown leather gloves found at Dublin Flea months ago (€5) and skinny brown belt. The look is classic equestrian and a bit Ralph Lauren. I’m also wearing my new broach (€10) from Dirty Fabulous Vintage at the An Taisce sale. It’s so pretty and blue and white for Spurs, but it is too soon to don the fleur-de-lis in Dublin?

On my lunch break today I swung round to the Swap Shop to benefit the An Taisce Tailors’ Hall restoration project. It is a stunning building and I’m so glad to see it’s getting a new lease of life. The swap shop proved pretty fruitful for me. I spent €40 and walked away with a cute dress, waistcoat and a vintage broach and necklace. Pics of my finds to come, for now, here’s what you could have found…
