Ladylike


Continuing with this lovely weather, i got to wear one of my favourite Dresses. This is one of my favourites purely because the cut is so flattering! I do adore a longer length dress now, a couple of years ago i shuddered at the thought of wearing something not above the knee. 
That's what i love about the 50s! Dresses were longer in length but beautifully clinched in and flattered all assets!

This Dress is Vintage, i got it from a great 'Retro Room' in a local Charity Shop. It's great, it's like a little mini museum full of vintage handbags and garments! So many Charity Shops have added in Vintage & Retro sections into their shops, alot of the pieces can be rather 'granny' but every now and then you will find a gem! :) My handbag i also purchased from the Retro Room!

A little bold.





I have had this shirt for a while now & never wore it so today seemed the perfect day to wear it,as the sun was shining! It's very eye catching which obviously i like & looks very 80's/retro. I also have warmed to the idea of having a bun on top of my head in this hot weather so yes this was my outfit to i wore walking to the gym of course..i hate underdressing for any occasion!
Before my gym session today i had a quick look in h&m & i just love that shop so much! I ended up buying a beautiful white strapless pleated dress which reminds me of the legendary dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in the 7 year itch,I'm just in love with it & shall blog it later. I can't wait to have some lovely photo's taken in it when i wear it to a wedding at the end of the month!

80's.

Today I'm wearing a jumper which is very 80's that i purchased from Prim Vintage a few weeks ago. Today is the first day i have worn it as I'm trying to figure out what to piece it with but i love the bright colours plus I won't see anybody else wearing it.
