Welcome to Finny's fashion blog...

Finny loves thrifting and the 2000s, check out what else is happening on the blog!

Thrift, thrift, thrift!

I buy new and on sale, but my one true love is second hand anything. I hope to only thrift in the coming years.

Magazines, fashion books, and catalogues.

One of my favourite fashion eras are the 2000s. You'll find a number of posts flipping through fashion mags.

Dress up and accessorize.

Thrift Store Trip + Jewelry Display~!

We decided to go to our local thrift store on a day that was way too hot. It was kind of urgent though because this store's looking to relocate soon though we don't know when. As such, it may have been our last chance to see their goods. I found exactly what I was looking for as the summer's in full swing: tops. I looked at some other stuff too, so there's some things I did get and some I was tempted by but didn't.

The first top is this cute babydoll-ish brown one with a lovely collar. It's comfy and very nice. It's from Mim and 100% cotton which is super sweet.



The second top is a semi-sheer off the shoulder type in brown with bronze sequins and turquoise thread detailing around the collar. Outside of being super cute it's very, very light. It's 100% viscose and from Next.



The third is a brown tee with cool stripes on the shoulders. I used to think brown was a very boring colour but boy, was I wrong. It's such a warm and comforting colour, especially for t-shirts. This one's from Jules but I have no idea about the material as the tag's been removed.



The last top is probably the coolest and craziest find. I was kind of shocked no one else snatched it up. A very fairy-like pink tanktop. I love pretty much everything about it, the ribbing, the slight paisley print, the tie-dye colour, the lace, and the glittery thread! Tag is missing but it is from Burton.



Now, for the stuff that looked cool but I didn't get...

These very cute swim shorts, I am on the look-out for some but these didn't fit lose enough so I decided that it's better to actually buy ones that would be 100% comfortable.

This green cardigan-y top. It's very cute but as soon as I tried to put my arms up there I knew it wasn't going to work.

This grey dress, it was super airy but also way too tight, especially in the shoulders.

In other news, my sister got this skirt. It's magical. 

I also "made" myself a hanging jewelry display. The box method just wasn't working for me. So the metal piece is hanging by two nails and was originally a shelf on a shoe rack. We were gonna throw it out but I felt I could still use it for something. I kinda dig how it looks, a little dingy and a little like those corner store displays that have sunglasses or postcards on them.






And that's all for this thrift trip! I usually compile a bunch of my finds over many trips and months but this time I thought it'd be nice to just post about a single thrift day, because it was a lucky one!

3 Plaid Outfits~!

Hey, for a fashion blogger I've not posted OOTDs, looks, or anything actually fashion-y in a while. I just feel very little confidence in my styling abilities despite liking fashion a lot. I feel so inspired by all the other bloggers I see here making very cool looks and when I try to make them in my taste I feel like it's totally going nowhere... but then I have to remember that what I like about fashion is not just the beauty but also the practicality. So, maybe the looks I've put together here are kind of basic but they are super wearable, really me, and there is a lot of my favourite: plaid!

Look #1 ~ Going To The Cinema

Top . . . Esprit {Thrifted} 

Jorts . . . Stradivarius {Bought New}

Necklace . . . Dolphin Pendant from Thai Aquarium {From Childhood} 

Simple Silver Earrings . . . ??? {Bought New}

Black and Turquoise Beaded Bracelets . . . ??? {From Childhood} 

Monoi Hair Clips . . . ??? {Bought New} 

Bag . . . Ripcurl {Thrifted}

Plain Black Sandals . . .  ??? {Bought New}

We went to see the new Mandalorian movie (it sucked) and I decided to get a little dressed up for it. Very vaguely inspired by the original blue Mandalore colours. I was waiting ages to wear this top out. Also I had to take all the pics in my sister's room because she has a big mirror, don't mind all her paraphernalia haha.


 I got this necklace when I was like 12 at what I believe was Sea Life Bangkok. 

Terrible make up is terrible and smudged but ah, well. I don't use foundation so that's why you can see all my scary pores and scabs! Did an unusual liner style this time, with a down-turned wing. Eye shadow in blue and glimmer white with a brown mascara. Just a plain lip balm for the lips.


The hair accessory of choice were these cute little monoi clips, I should have probably tried for a better photo. 

And now, onto look number two...

Look #2 ~ Outdoor Dinner Party

Top . . . Camaïeu {Thrifted} 

Denim Skirt . . . Camaïeu {Thrifted}

Green Glass Heart Necklace . . . ??? {Bought New} 

Hoop Silver Earrings . . . ??? {Bought New}

Pink Hibiscus Hair Crab . . . ??? {Bought New} 

Bag . . . ??? {Thrifted}

Plain Black Sandals . . .  ??? {Bought New}

Our family friends invited us for a BBQ at their house. It was a super hot day so I opted for some shorter stuff. I think the silhouette of this look is a little wonky but I still liked it a lot. 




Did some fake lashes with my brown liner but was in such a rush that they came out super crooked. I did finally use the green eye shadow palette that I got and I really love the colour. I also put my hair up with my new hair crab, it's so pretty.



Tried to take some fashion shots with my sister outside, not sure if they turned out like I hoped haha. 



Next, look number three... 

Look #3 ~ Job Fair

Top . . . Gemo {Thrifted} 

White Undershirt - Kiabi {Gift} 

Jeans . . . Kiabi {Bought New}

Simple Silver Earrings . . . ??? {Bought New} 

Heart Locket Necklace . . . ??? {Bought New} 

Hoop Silver Earrings . . . ??? {Bought New}

Canvas Converse Bag . . . Converse {Thrifted}

Blue Converse . . .  Converse {Thrifted}

So, had a job fair, it didn;t last very long but I did want to be comfy in case. It was a colder day, hence the undershirt. I think the hairstyle of the day was pretty cute. I was trying to do something Rikki from H2O inspired. The new converse bag I picked up is also so good, it's insanely big and perfect for keeping documents. Don't know what kinda skater would need to haul documents around but it works.






No make up for this look. I don't wear make up daily or to work so didn't bother with it this time either.



Brought my good luck Sugawara folder, a friend gifted it to me in high school and ever since I always take it to important meetings. Left the CVs marinating in there too.  

And that's three plaid-centric outfits. I don't know what it is about plaid but it makes me very happy. Especially in fun colours. Is there an outfit of the three that you liked best? Should I give up styling and fashion forever? Let me know in the comments.
