Vintage On A Budget

I often spend hours upon hours on the internet gzing longingly at dresses and outfits that I can not afford, getting myself depressed that I will never own a Vivienn Of Holloway or a pair of Swedish Hasbeens.
But then I became addicted to Ebay!
It really is amazing what you can get on there for such low prices. I recently bought a vintage red dress from the 70s, a green 70s shirt, a Trina Lewis of London 1960s dress and a cute little 80s number all for 99p each (amongst many many others).
Over the last year I have built up my wardrobe filling it with swing dresses, tea dresses, circcle skirts and vintage items all of which have cost me £35 or under.
Heres just a few of them (ignore the vanity and the mess please)
Dress- 99p from Ebay! Scarf/belt £2 from primark, socks £2.99 from Ebay :)
Dress- 99p from Ebay! (excuse the messy house)
Dress- 99p off ebay! and the hat was a bargin at only £2 from primark



These days you can pick up a cute pair of capree pants for £9, a little gingham gypsy top for £6 and a flower for your hair for £2 just off the highstreet and BAM! You've got yourself the cutest little 1950s day outfit. There is no need to spend excesive amounts of money of what you can get for cheap, don't get me wrong if I had the money too  I would but sadly I have to limit my spending otherwise I'd be living on the streets with only my dresses to keep me warm.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go and clean up the mess that the fire kindly left last night,
