Polly Piglet's trying to get on the blog again.
She was the odd kitten out in a litter of six black and white males. Her markings are very strange, a mixture of stripes and spots with black and white whiskers, tan coloured pads and a freckled nose. She'll be six in September and likes nothing better than lying in my arms on her back like a baby.
Anyway, enough of the cat talk here's possibly my best ever vintage find.
An insanely fabulous Shubette of London 1960's fringed go-go suit.
It was a whopping £12.90 (my limit is usually a tenner) but I knew that if I didn't buy it I'd regret it forever.
What do you mean, when are you going to wear that? As my darling late Grandma always said, if you love it, buy it and the occasion will present itself.

Right, time for a snooze on the sofa before I put on my glad rags in readiness for tonight's dinner party. Enjoy your weekend!

Amazing outfit Vix! I've been poised all day to see your latest purchase! I think this is a great bargain and it's unutterably fabulous. Love it and you look stunning in it as ever. Your cat is gorgeous too Adrian and I are so keen to get a cat but as we live in a flat we can't yet. Hopefully one day soon!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Your Grandma was a very wise woman! I have a wardrobe full with clothes just waiting for the right occasion to come!

Yup - Grandma was absolutely right and so were you to buy it. That go-go suit will be amazing to dance in with those fringes swishing about...now where's that strawberry scented dry ice?.....
ReplyDeletexxx
What a wonderful outfit! I never realised how long your hair is too, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour kitty is adorable and what a cute name too! xx
Love your granma's saying! Very wise.
ReplyDeleteMy cat, Tiger-Lily is a tabby/tortie mix and is quite unusual too. She was one of five and all the others were ginger. We used to have her brother too but he sadly got hit by a car 6 years ago. Probably sound weird here, but I believe that he then came back to us in the form of our next cat who sadly dissappeared a year ago. I have only had two boy cats adn neither has made it to old age so I think that I shall have to stick with girl cats even though the are higher maintenance :)
Enjoy your dinner party tonight x
Totally stunning! What a find. Just be careful not to wear it anytime yer in London on the tube with that fringing. Have the cats started trying to play with it yet?
ReplyDeleteJesus H. Christ that is one amazing set you've got there Vix! Hands down gorgeousness and yeah, this bargain-buy ranks in the top amazing vintage outfits you own. You've nailed it!!!! Oh and Piglet makes a great pic partner, he's enjoying the warmer days:). I've always carried my cats the same way, they love it - they're so trusting when they're loved:))) xoxoxoxoox
ReplyDeleteOMG. The suit is amazing. It doesn't matter on what occasion you wear as you make it work :)
ReplyDeleteIt is fab & I'd wear it everyday xx
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I am very envious of the amazing things you pick up. And I also love your cat. I've managed to get both of mine trained to lie in my arms like a baby, very cute :)
ReplyDeleteHi Polly Piglet - my cats are always trying to get in on a bit of blog action. I'm think of starting their own one so they get their fix.
ReplyDeleteThat suit is incredible, just fabulous xx
Hey, you are one groovy go-go-ing chick in that outfit Vix! I'm not surprised you blew your £10 limit for that one, it was worth every penny (and still cheap when you consider the unique fabulousness of it!) I can tell you love wearing it, you look very happy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Pan's People comment, I was also imagining you as one of Ike and Tina Turner's backing singers/dancers, shimmying wildly along to Proud Mary!
Got a few vintage goodies myself today, tee hee, will email you!
PS. Polly's a babe!
Hi my dear-you go in the gorgeous go-go outfit, you look fabulous and it was well worth all the money spent-a very unique and stylish look for sure!! Hope you have a great weekend too!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the fringe on it! My family has two cats who look like yours, they are sisters from the same litter. One of them is named phantom. Half of her face is brown/red the other side is gray so she looks a little like the phantom of the opera.
ReplyDeleteWow what a mixture of colours your kitty is - so cute! I always have a place for kittys with ginger in their fur!
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty your cat. i love the name. your looking fabulous as always.
ReplyDeletePolly's so cute. Love the fringes on that outfit x
ReplyDeleteTotally worth breaking the tenner limit! Loving your kitty too, as an owner of two little fur babies myself :o) Scarlett x

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute cat! You look fabulous and I love the print of the suit. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Now that is a jumpsuit. And I couldn't agree more with your grandma's philosophy!

ReplyDeletehttp://pinkchampagnefashion.blogspot.com/
This is gorgeous and so is Polly Piglet! Hope you have had a great weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is the funnest vintage look I have seen in a while- the fringe, the floral pattern, amazing! Your kitty is adorable- what beautiful markings!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe over that outfit. I don't even know what to say. It's out of this world.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That outfit is SO AMAZING! I LOVE LOVE it! The fabric reminds a little of Liberty of London. You look Fabulous as always! Cute cat too : )
ReplyDeleteYour grandma's words ring true.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a sweet cat - she's good at posing. Your dress is so lovely am sure you feel well in it. xxxx
I loooove the words of wisdom from your Grandma - almost as much as I love the go-go suit! Jeez, what occasion wouldn't you wear that to? It's just so fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy first cat growing up was the same colour as Polly Piglet. I was there when she was born, and she started out completely black with ginger eyebrows. The rest of colour came later, but this tiny black kitten with huge ginger eyebrows was a pretty hilarious sight.
Polly Piglet is very cute! I love the markings on her face, and her eyes are gorgeous! Holly used to love proper baby cuddles when she was smaller, can't really do it now as she's a right lump.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks really glossy in the pics Vix, not that it doesn't usually but just thought "wow check out her gorgeous locks" Go-Go suit is fun and fringe-tastic. Love it.
xx
I know several people have already commented but I have to repeat it...AMAZING! definitely an awesome score there.
ReplyDeleteOh my God Vix!!! I bloody love it!!!! You HAD to get it. It's perfect. Wise words from your Grandma. I feel the same way! Love you loads xx
ReplyDeleteyour kitty is so unique and beautiful amor,
ReplyDeleteOMG, you look even more like Cher with that fringe outfit.
Grandma knew what she was talking about.
That is a truly FABULOUS purchase! xx
ReplyDeletePerfect for a festival surely? Unless you're worried that it's too beautiful to tromp around in a field in...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh this is my fave out of your last 3 posts I missed while doing the mom/wife thing! I love love this dress!
ReplyDeletePolly Piglet (love the name) is clearly a DAMN STAR! I dig her. Sorry, but you know I love cats more than clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'm with your grandma on this one, Vix - fabulous ain't the word! xx
ReplyDeleteAww yours is lovely too :) a good label :) xx
