I had hopes of getting loads done today including packing for this weekend's End Of The Road festival but my plans went to pot after the postman delivered a parcel from saucy Antipodean minx Helga so I just had to go and try everything on instead.
This 1970's groovy gingham all-in-one is so me! I've accessorised it with a 1970s elasticated waist belt, a jumble sale vanity case and a snazzy Christian Dior silk scarf (all found for less than 75p) and some ancient TopShop cherry red leather wedges.
This Mary Quant tiger print lycra catsuit and vintage shoulder bag rock my world ! I've worn them with a 1960s suede jerkin (car boot sale) some Edwardian lace-up boots (British Heart Foundation) and lots of tribal jewellery.
How much do you love this bag? I bet it's not as much as I do!
I'm wearing this fab cotton maxi skirt with an Indian blouse (50p from Islamic Relief) and a Lamani gypsy belt, worn as a necklace. My roots are bugging me so much in this picture I've chopped my head off.
There's also a bottle of New Zealand Kaitaia sauce (because I smother all my food in chili sauce), a pretty vintage bangle and a hipster hippy rainbow belt.
A Stay Strong Christchurch badge. Helga, you know how much I love you.
I'm spending the day with Liz tomorrow so I don't know how I'm going to find time to pack and to make matters worse I stupidly skimped on hair dye and used some cheap Poundland crap instead of my usual Boots' Black so I've got to redo my roots before I do anything, arghhhh!
That jumpsuit is groovy, man! Right on.
ReplyDeleteYOU and the jumpsuit define awesomeness. I love your style. And Helga.
ReplyDeleteI adore that jumpsuit Vix, and that bag is just really gorgeous!!

Love that secret squirrel acorn bag - Helga is a genius! That Mary Q outfit is insane - in the best way - and I love the maxi skirt, gorgeous colours and pattern. Mind you, it takes very little to distract me from packing, one of my very least favourite chores...
ReplyDeleteYou look so awsome in the gingham & I like your vanity case.
ReplyDeleteYou look SUPER HOT in that tiger lycra catsuit! WOWWW
The acorn bag is just FREAKING Fantastically cute! omg I adore the thing.
The cotton maxi is funky I love the color and design.
Vix, No-one can work a jumpsuit like you can. I hope Dorset is still nice and sunny for you, and I suggest checking out the charity shops, I found some great purchases around those parts. Xx
ReplyDeleteOMG VIX!!!! If I had your figure I would defo be strutting my stuff in the tiger suit! And the checked hot suit looks amazing too - very Youtha Joyce, what a star she was too!
ReplyDeleteYou have blown me away with that tiger print lycra catsuit! You should be in CATS the musical with that baby!
ReplyDeleteThe acorn bag is super cute!
Helga knows you inside out!
I hate being in a rush with a million things to do! I hope you find the time to pack and relax! xxx
Helga has excelled herself, these outfits are FULL of style, fun and character.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you and Helga met via Blogger, and if so, what a fantastic pairing of positivity, vibrancy and humour.
I'll never tire of seeing your ensembles, I'm raising a glass (well, mug of tea) to you and Helga as I type - hoorah for non-conformism!
Vix, you are the undisputed queen of the jumpsuit! Soooo sexy, soooo you!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour and print of the maxi skirt too.
Helga done good!
Boo to having to redo roots, what a pain, but have a fab day with Liz tomorrow. You'll get your packing done, you are a model of efficiency in the packing department! xxxxxx
