Your mid-week Wardrobe Inspiration - PRE LOVED CLOTHING in CHCH!

We deserve some mid-week Wardrobe Inspiration!!

Pre-Loved clothes shopping in ChCh!

Phew; quake-brain has struck me this week - big-time!!  What a busy, un-nerving week for us Christchurch residents!!  So, rather than spending some time gathering my promised inspirations together, I have been helping out friends-in-need (& LOVING it; loving the opportunity to do so!!), & generally walking around in an on-edge daze!!  (All this shaking not good for us sensitive creative types; or any of us, for that matter!)

I did hear that Westfield Mall in Riccarton had been closed temporarily due to the floor lifting inside; not sure of the status of things there, but makes for interesting news....

However, there ARE places that we still can venture safely, & I will endeavour to offer a bit of a listing of some fav pre-loved clothing spots here to inspire you to treat yourself.........I will apologise ahead of time if I have missed anywhere that may not be operating at present, however, I know that it's a tricky & important time to share updated news where-ever & however we can, in terms of our awesome retailers that are trying their best amongst all this forever changing chaos.........my heart & thoughts go out to those awesome ladies who have had gorgeous wee shops & have lost them in our recent events.........


Meanwhile, check these out:

***  I hope this makes up for my lack of visual inspiration for this week!!  ***


Lots of love & textile inspiration to you all..........

Warmly,
