A Second-Hand Dress & A Brand New Book

We've been to three jumble sales this weekend but this 1970s maxi by Linzi has to be my favourite find. It's turquoise, it's crimplene and it's ruffled, what's not to love?

I liked it so much that I insisted on giving the lady behind the table more cash than she wanted, much to the disgust of the grumpy granny next to me who always tells me I'm mad for not haggling down the price at jumbles. 

There's a whole heap of stuff to show you but I'm taking advantage of a rare dry day so most of it's on the washing line.

If new-old clothes aren't exciting enough I've been sent a copy of Wearable Vintage Fashion. I've read differing reviews about this book but I loved it. It's exactly what I want from a book, it's fun & informative and doesn't take itself too seriously, there's some gorgeous photos of clothes and accessories to drool over.....

...and look who's it!
Here's the Amazon link.

We threw a bit of a bash last night and I'm off for a cat nap before watching the concluding episodes of The Bridge.

Hope you've had/are having a fab weekend.

See you soon.
