Every night I spend at least thirty minutes browsing through Depop and liking copious amounts of funky items that I'll probably never buy. They end up sitting in my likes folder until they eventually sell, and I feel a small pang of sadness as I imagine all the possible outfit combinations I could've made with them. So, rather than curating the ultimate wish list for myself and never actually buying anything, I thought I'd share them on here. (Really just a way of justifying the amount of time I spend searching through Depop.)
This edit is very clearly a floral based style, the classic 1970s Flower Power motif that I'm completely obsessed with at the moment. I especially love the 90s and early 2000s take on this floral design and the infinite amount of colour combinations and styles that exist out there. So here are some of my best finds,

1970s Style Orange Polyester Button-Up - $18.36 nzd
Literally my dream button-up shirt, I love the retro 70s vibe with the orange, yellow and pink colour scheme and daisy print. I would love to wear this tucked into some high waisted flares or tied at the front.

Lavender Flower Box Purse - $10.71 nzd
Such a cute (although slightly impractical) plastic purse in the shape of a flower. I really don't know what occasion this would be appropriate for, but it would look so good with a full purple outfit.

1970s Green Hawaiian Dress - $39.77 nzd
Such an amazing vintage dress and would look so good with a turtleneck or white collared shirt underneath, as it has a really low neckline. I like the way the seller has styled it with a belt too, sinching it in at the waist to give it a more flattering shape.

Lime Green PVC Chunky Purse - $39.86 nzd
Another deeply impractical purse, but how good would this look with a full green outfit or some big denim flares?! Definitely a more 90s take on the classic flower motif, but I love that it still has those retro colours and could compliment a green 70s dress so well.

Multi Coloured Flower Power Tee - $33.65 nzd
Such a sick retro style tee, with an amazing array of bright colourful flowers. These colours would make this such an easy and fun piece to style, matching earrings or headbands to the shirt. I would style this piece tucked into some high waisted flared jeans as the material is a super figure-hugging style.

Vintage Coach Chunky Floral Slides - $68.84 nzd
The classic chunky platform sandal that would go so well with literally any of these other pieces. With the flower motif on the sides and front of the shoes, they would look extra funky with some bright and colourful socks in the colder months when you don't want your toes out!

Purple Y2k Floral Tank Top - $22.95 nzd
Another more recent take on the floral pattern, but still so cute. This tank would be so great for layering and the bright purple colour would look so great with any green, orange, yellow and pink accessories especially.

1970s Flower Power Button Up - $29.06 nzd
This shirt is a dream, I would love to style this tucked into my favourite pair of flares or unbuttoned over a basic singlet top. The pattern is so funky and in your face, which I love and it's a great retro statement piece.

90s Does 70s Gingham Dress - $45.89 nzd
Cutest ever little yellow gingham dress, just asking to be worn with a collared shirt underneath and some big chunky boots. I will forever love the combination of 70s / 60s with 90s fashion and this is a great example of that style.

Y2k Multicolour Flower Hair Clips - $15.30 nzd
The perfect accessories to go with any of these pieces, little colourful hairclips like these ones are such a big trend at the moment, and these ones are just a bit different to the regular clips you see everywhere.

Little White Flower Earrings - $7.79 nzd
These earrings are such a nice basic and toned-down version of the 70s flower motif. I love a big bold flower earring for sure, but these are a great alternative for those days when you want to dress it down a little, but they still have that funky retro vibe.

Funky Yellow Floral Skirt - $36.72 nzd
It doesn't get any better than this, with some colourful tights and big chunky shoes. This pattern is so funky and the random placement of the buttons and singular pocket is so cute.
