I thought I'd give one of my latest jumble sale dresses an outing today.
It went down so well that I got treated to a rendition of Scott Walker's MacKenzie's (ooops thanks, Curtise) "San Francisco (Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair)" from the queue outside the swimming baths when I stepped out of Yootha, our 1969 Beetle. Pensioners, no shame, huh?
I'm feeling so overwhelmingly floral today that I'm even wearing Boots No 7 Gay Geranium lipstick. Well, if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing.
It's the village Free Festival this weekend so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for dry weather and then maybe I can squeeze a car boot sale in, too.
Have a brilliant weekend whatever you get up to.
PS: Please check out the lovely Emma's blog today, I get a mention!

ReplyDeleteYou look Fabulous as always! I am seriously Loving that dress! I should have the post up tonight sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat dress really is beautiful! Haha got to love the pensioners, my Grandad had a go at rapping last year when we were on holiday - hilarious! They may have no shame but they're all the better for it haha :) x
ReplyDeleteYou paid £20 for some boots!! You must love them because you never admit to shelling out that much dosh!
ReplyDeleteMind you, they ARE fabbo. Yootha Joyce? I loved her.

ReplyDeleteYootha is lovely. If we ever got rid of our van, I would love a beetle but really I would love one of each as I am greedy!
ReplyDeleteReally like your boots; very similar to a pair I nearly bought from All Saints a while ago :)

ReplyDeleteHello again - I just saw, VERY pleased and excited!!! My eyes are hereby peeled for you! Should be good fun, Lakota is topnotch to organise it! xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dress - it leapt out at me from your post yesterday - you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are a vision of beautiful flowers and awesome jewels!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely and fun weekend,
What a fab dress, you look gorgeous! And the car, omg Yootha is a doll!
ReplyDeleteOh bless you ,you keep taking me back to 'that 'time in my life ,we had a Beetle silver with a rag roof ...love Jan xx
ReplyDeleteIts so amazing that the frocks you find are such a perfect fit. Did you join in with the singalong? Great bag too - roses rock.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one yourself hon! Hope the weather stays good for car booting, I'll be sewing and drinking gin I think ;o)
ReplyDeleteI keep my fingers crossed for you to have a superb weather this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou look glorious!!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ah that dress is gorgeous on, nothing wrong with overloading on floral either! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous dress for an amaaaazing price!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! I love the floral print on that dress and you are so right about something being worth overdoing - florals are definitely in that category. Love the boots too xx
ReplyDeleteI wish that dress would jump into my closet right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeus dress, your eyebrows are looking fantastic too xxx
ReplyDeleteBoots No7 Gay Geranium?!What an awesome name for a colour!It looks delish! LOVE,love,love thi frock,the colours are heavenly!!!
ReplyDeleteImagine stirring up the pensioners!Hahahaha,good on them,they probably look forward to the regular stimulus you give them!
Yootha might need some flowers too!!
LOVE YOU!!!
Helga xxxXXXxxx
What a divine dress! Love your car too
ReplyDeleteHope your have a smashing weekend xx
Haha, I love the thought of pensioners serenading you.
ReplyDeleteThe print on that dress is to die for. 60's florals are so good. I never seem to find any - it's all 80's cabbage roses faded type prints that look really dated. Your dress looks really fresh and modern.
oh you look wonderful, those boots are just perfect with that dress! oh and your car is beauuuutiful! x
ReplyDeleteRather demure today, and terribly pretty!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a bit of a public singsong, I love embarrassing the kids by singing in the street (and fab song, tho the Scott in question is Mackenzie not Walker - I know, pop nerd, I'm sorry!)
The dress is yet another stunner, and you are rocking those boots!
Have a good weekend!
Love that dress - you look great. I am always jealous of people who have fab legs and can bare all! I'm blessed with "hockey players' calves" - although the rest of me's a slim 10/12 - and am stuck with opaques or leggings under dresses all year round. That said, in Scotland that's no great loss!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I love a floral print! You could have stepped right from '69!
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of vehicles almost as much as your collection of frocks. I'm hoping to get to a boot sale this weekend too... lets keep our fingers crosses for sunny weather, or at least dry weather would do. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! i love the third picture.
ReplyDeleteI love that song! And I love this dress. You look smashing. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your dress Vix its gorgeous! Have a wonderful weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteoh Vix i adore this outfit today you look stunning and so cute to. I love it and the car to ahhhh reminds me of mine many moons ago before the kids were born ;-)) Have a lovely weekend sweetie, dee xx
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I love the "if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing"!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks gorgeous on you.
Ga!!! You and Yootha make a gorgeous team - oooh that dress is mighty lovely on you and I'm so glad you were serenaded today:)))). Those boots are flipping hot with the dress and yes, if it's worth doing it's worth over-doing. Bingo. xoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYou look smashing. Missed saying how envious I am of the finds in your lost post, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I love more - the frock! the beetle! the bag!
ReplyDeleteYou look bloody GORGEOUS as always and I have my fingers crossed for you to have perfect weather this weekend.

ReplyDeleteHow fab is Yootha? I assume she's named after Yootha Joyce. I love George and Mildred.
Have a great Saturday. I have Fee, George and Betty here and I'm off to help finish off the shop.
Love you xx
You look so groovy standing in front of your amazing beetle! Such style :) Pensioners really do get away with everything; there's an old man in one of the orchestras I play with and he serenades me and makes me blush! He must be reaching 90 soon....! Lots of love xoxox
