Clothes make me happy

Clothes make me happy.

This first one was worn to a vintage clothes market - Round She Goes. It was so much fun! I went to the market with three lovely new friends I met at high tea. There were two rooms packed with vintage and modern treasures. I bought a number of dresses and a skirt, all in great condition and at great prices. The sizes were difficult. My petite yet curvy figure made the tiny size 12 waistband feel like a size six.

The outfit I wore featured a pre-loved skirt from a friend - it is so beautiful - lots of material and a tulle underskirt and a cute poodle appliqued on the front, and appliqued scattered hearts. I am also wearing my Stella McCartney for Target silk blouse from a few years ago, a Mimco headband, ballet flats and giant Diva cocktail ring.
This outfit was worn to Jebediah on Friday night. I don't know if such a dainty outfit was conducive to the rough moshpit complete with beer showers, but it survived the experience, albeit smelling like a brewery. The dress is my favourite one I bought at Round She Goes. It's a gorgeous peach floral with a cowel neck and gathered waist. I also wore a swing coat from Valley Girl - it's metallic cream - and my merino jumper and opaques and ballet flats.
And this one was worn to work and a lunch with friends. Excuse the gaping waist - there really should be an extra button. I am wearing a dress from Cue (it's green and mustard) and pleather jacket from Temt. My boots are from London Rebel.

More vintage photo fun

I had such fun over Easter looking through old treasures. Here are some more pictures I want to share.
1982. I think there was some twinkle twinkle little star action happening here.
1982. In the back of the car I had until I was 26.
1985. My bag was as big as me!
Concentrating on gluing. At preschool in pussybow and pinafore. 1986.
In the paddling pool. This is as outdoorsy/waterbaby as you'll ever see me.
 My first bike. Christmas day, maybe 1986.


I have some pictures from when I was at primary school - very questionable fashion! Look out!!
