Timewaster! - Wardrobe Remix

Taking a quick break from recounting travellers' tales to bring you a timewasting site of the week (although don't quote me on the 'of the week' bit - I'm notoriously bad at keeping things up!)...

Technically not a website, this is a flickr group I can't remember how I came across. You know how various women's magazines at various times make a big thing out of being for real women, but the fashion stories are still all uber-model types prancing around in outfits that cost more than your monthly rent? Wardrobe remix is like the antidote to that - it's just real girls (and boys) and (mostly) affordable clothes - with an emphasis on thrifted (charity shop) bits and pieces.

So it's fun just to wade through the photos and think, 'hmm, maybe I could use that old cardi I never wear like that', or just marvel at the cool colour combos or accessorising and get ideas for what you could do differently with your own wardrobe...

And of course, some will be more kind of 'what not to wear' depending on your tastes, but that's kind of fun too!

Interesting bits and pieces I spotted today....

Loving this handmade hat and all round cool outfit- http://www.flickr.com/photos/verypurpleperson/3157860241/in/pool-wardrobe_remix/

This really inspires me to learn how to sew! - http://www.flickr.com/photos/softspoken/3267178997/in/pool-wardrobe_remix/
I like the sweater over dress and dark tights in this one - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anna-in-chicago/3267011799/in/pool-wardrobe_remix/
