York Races and not a horse in sight

Over the weekend we visited the two day FESTIVAL OF VINTAGE at York Racecourse where the only horses we saw were clothes horses. 

Suits me as I don't like the four legged variety.

We thought we would walk across the racecourse to the venue 

but then realised that wet grass and suede high heels don't mix.

 What a fabulous event. This is my outfit for the first day.  

The dress has a little jacket with it and cost me £12 a couple of years ago

 and the swing coat is a favourite of mine.

I picked up some fabulous pieces.

This Morley cardigan is part of a twin set, British made. 

The dress doesn't have a label but is a gorgeous pattern in crimplene.

I love the colours.

The dress and jacket is made in France and has the label Tricosa.

I picked it up off Stockport trader Jane Hamilton for £25 

and wore it on the second day.

This PUTINA dress came from Jane as well.

Can't find out much about it but it is like a sari material and is lined.

This happy little number is a Dacron by Dupont and was a tenner.

Once we get some sunny weather I will be wearing it with last years 

Orla Kiely pink and gold buckle retro shoes.

Buying vintage clothes is a winning certainty and the only type of bet 

I will put on as I know they are odds on favourites for a return 

on my money when I want a change of wardrobe.

WEAR WHAT YOU LIKE

Keeping in with the jumpsuit theme, I did manage to find a pic of me last year in this one I got in Bath when visiting my sister. 

 Its not worn very often as I can't do with the hassle of getting 

it off in a hurry haha !
