Start Wearing Purple


  Hello lovelies, here is some new garments I had to share with you, the dress is from Etsy, a 1940s rayon number covered in grapes, I had it in my favourites for sometime and then one morning before work decided to grab it, so glad I did, haven't really stopped wearing it, it came with the original label, which is the kind of thing that gives me a kick. I want some grapes for my hair now. 




 I am slowly running out of poses.










Purple pretty polly tights with diamanté seam, oh yeah I am glamourous. 










At this point my beloved told me I would never make it on Britain's Next Top model, charmed I am sure.


The coat is a charity shop find, it is about 3 sizes too big but that never deters me from buying clothes, it was a cracking bargain at £7, anything with a fur trim and I am sold. 






These old biddy (grandma chic) style shoes are from eBay only cost £6, thought they were quite 40s inspired. This is probably the first time I have worn all similar colours, I never coordinate, I find it a sign of weakness. 




 Do you wear a lot of the same colour altogether? are grandmas your style inspirations too? Hope you're all having a fantastical weekend.

  1. Hahaha,"next top models" are bloody stick insect morons anyways!!!
    Um,I do fairly frequently wear the same colour,I blame my mother! I try and push myself to clash things up,and I love it when I manage it,but it doesn't come naturally!
    Adoring this new frock of yours!So pretty,I can see why you barely take it off! The tights are indeed tres glam,and the old biddy shoes are divine! I love granny style,and I am often admired by grannies!I saw the shorts for some dreadful old American comdey on tv last night,and the only thing that made me prick up my ears was a dear old granny with a heidi hairdoo,a multi strand beaded necklace & matching earrings,with a Chanel-ish suit....I could almost watch the film(Parenthood)just for her,except Steve frigging Martin gives me the shits.
    Fab coat too,and your vintage beauty always makes me frisky!(esp eye rolling first pic!)
