Hello!
I recently participated in a fashion show for The Grassmarket Vintage Festival. The dress I got to wear for said show basically stole my heart so of course it is now in my possession.
Finally we got to see just a hint of summer over the last week which give me the perfect chance to wear my glorious vintage floral maxi dress!
Of course all good weeks have their bad points. One of the biggest ones being the state of my health. After having the flu a couple not that long ago, I still seem to be suffering from the after effects of it. At the time of writing this, I am currently suffering from lovely sinus problems, mainly I seem to have gone a little deaf in one ear.
So when Saturday came along and it was time to celebrate Sam's birthday, I wasn't going to let my horrible falling apart body get in the way of fun times. So I shoved on my new vintage dress and hit the town!
Dress - Vintage
Belt - Primark
Necklace - Primark
Jacket - George @ ASDA
Boots - New Look
Bag - Hallhuber
If you are a vintage shopping fan like myself you will know that sometimes it can be a frustrating experience. You may find the most glorious bit of clothing but alas the chances of it fitting are risky. So when you come across a vintage item that fits you like a glove, it is a beautiful moment. One that you should never ever turn down.
As soon as I was fitted into this dress for the fashion show, I knew it was meant to be. I never rarely wear 70s style dresses but I just fell in love with this one. From the beautiful heavy floral skirt to the gorgeous off the shoulder top.
In keeping with my own usual style I gave the dress a 'goth' edge with my black leather jacket and cross necklace.

I love this dress! Especially teamed with more gothic style accessories.
ReplyDeleteI tried on a really lovely 50s tea dress once and it fit like a glove which as you say is always the time you should snap a vintage piece up. It's a rare moment! Sadly I looked at the price tag and it was waaaay out of my budget. I was so sad to say goodbye to it!
Thank you!
DeleteAw that is always such a gutting moment. You know if you were on budget, you wouldn't find anything. It is always the way!

I love this on you, Emily! I never wear 70s either - it's rare you find pieces from that era that aren't like sacks on me, but this is amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely. Yeah I think I tried to avoid 70s as it was so popular last year haha!
