There is nothing on my workdesk as I have been to busy partying
and being a fashionista
No make up on but trying my VE Day outfit ready for Sunday's outing to Vintage Village at Stockport.
Last Saturday we attended a fashion show "Fashion through the Decades" at The Vintage Emporium, Pear Mill, Stockport.
This little pink bag came from Victoria Baths Vintage Fashion event at the princely sum of £3. The gold glittery cardi and pink glittery top were £10 each
I am planning to make a sketchbook of photographs and record all my bargain buys as there is usually a good story behind each purchase.
This is a picture of my nana, auntie and nana's friend from the late 60's, incredibly I have the same style outfits in my wardrobe now. Would'nt it have been nice to have the originals. Nana has on a floral wiggle dress but the only wiggling she would have done would have been down to the bingo.
Tonight, along with my friend Susan, I'm doing a talk at a local church Women's League group and we will be doing some crafting as well, so I better go and get my gear together.
Have a good week and don't forget to pop over to see what others have been upto at their desks
Love the pink and grey - Happy WOYWW - BJ#35

ReplyDeleteYou have some fabulous outfits Lynn and you look great in all of them. I do love that cardi and the pink shoes and bag. Looking forward to hearing all about your talk xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, you look great in your forties gear, how fun! I don't have a problem with the tunic and trouser outfits of Nana's and Aunties....I just can't bear the thought that they were all nylon based! .Argh!
ReplyDeletePretty shoes..how nice to make up a journal of your finds...and off you go, down another road of interest and passion!
Wow, you look totally fab in all your outfits - I especially love the top one with the matching hair ribbon and the stylish hair do - I've never been able to get curls to stay in, and I certainly don't know how they did it back then without all the modern day gels and lotions! I hope you have a great VE Day outing - you'll steal the show in that wonderful outfit, and I hope you find lots of bargains.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog!
