When the postman called round with a huge box from the States addressed to me on Friday I could hardly contain myself, but being a good girl I waited until I'd finished packing the stock into the van before ripping open the packaging.
Man, was it worth the wait! Inside were these incredible 1960s go-go boots which fit like a dream,
The biggest, bastard massive Indian pendant in the world.
And a whole heap of bangles, including this beauty Vonda had made especially for me.
 |
| Vintage Colourful Creations mini dress (Sarah Misfit), Roselle of London fringed suede jerkin (Second to None, Walsall 2009), 1960s leather bag (Age UK, blogger day out in Chesterfield), vintage sunglasses (20p man at the car boot sale) |
I wore the jewellery all weekend rattling around Bridgnorth's vintage fair like one of Michael Eavis's Glastonbury cows.
My distinctive clank failed to alert the two women talking about me when I was in a toilet cubicle. I love that Kinky Melon lady one said to the other She doesn't care about what people think and wears anything. Too right, lady. I love a compliment as much as the next person but if nobody ever said a word I'd still dress the same.
Sometimes I have to laugh when I catch sight of myself in a mirror, look at me in micro minis with wall plaques as jewellery. If I didn't know me and saw myself in the street I'd want to be my friend.
Hope you had a bostin' weekend.
Thanks for all your fabulous comments on my last post.
See you soon!

WOW! Amazing coloured boots but I love the fringed jerkin most of all- we used to have one of those that belonged to my Mum when we were kids (and matching skirt- they were so much fun! We always wore them for dress up! Pity we got rid of them!x
ReplyDeleteLime green and open-toed boots are two of my least favourite things, I'd *never* wear either myself, but here you are rocking them and looking great! Ain't that the beauty of clothes :)
ReplyDeleteFARK ME!!!!

ReplyDeletei can see in your face how happy you are about :-)

Green + suede + boots = heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit is amazing!
OMG those shoes though! I love them! gosh can you imagine the previous owner dancing about all night in such fab boots. And lucky those ladies were saying nice things about you in the loo. I think i would have yelled very angrily from the cubicle if they had about me. I'm not very gracious with slaggers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful look all over Vix! I hope the weather is warming up for you!
Isn't that the best thing to be able to say about yourself; that you'd want to be friends with you? I think that is a fine compliment! (I think the same about me!) It isn't just how you dress though, Kinky Melon lady, it's because you are smiley and friendly and chatty and fabulous - you could wear American Tan tights and trainers, and I'd still want to be your mate!
ReplyDeleteThat said, you do look completely bloody wonderful, you rock a mini like no one else, and those go-go boots are just the bee's knees, I love 'em!
I adore your distinctive clank, looking forward to hearing it in person before too long. Love ya! xxxx
You are definitely Bostin in that outfit. Lucky you with your parcel!
ReplyDeleteYou have fab legs, don't spoil them with American tan tights. Ever. At least I know you'll never grow old gracefully so American tan is unlikely!
Aaaaahhhhhh! Those boots! They are killing me with their utter magnificence! You have outdone yourself with this outfit. Clanking like a cow? Who cares when you look that good! XXX
ReplyDeleteBEST BOOTS EVER!!!!!!! I love this whole outfit and all of your jewelry! we all love the Kinky Melon lady! forever! you have made my evening with all of your awesome-ness and I hope you had a bostin' weekend too! x x x
ReplyDeleteI have a real love of green footwear, my Mum says it started as a tiny girl when I would beg for green shoes (not so common for kids in the 1970s as you would think). I love your boots, I love go-go boots full stop. p.s. You look fantastic in the dress. My friend couldnt believe it was the same dress that had been hanging in my room, she said it looked amazing and totally different on you haha. V xxx
ReplyDeleteThose boots are everything I thought they would be - WOW. I bet you are delighted they are such a perfect fit. The bag and the mini are perfect and as for the bastard jewellery, its awesome.
ReplyDeleteI actually squealed a bit when I saw this outfit ( startled the dogs) ~ love , it absolutely love it !
ReplyDeleteThe boots , the bangles, the mini and you ~ all of it super duper wonderful.
If I saw you in the street and didn't know you I would want you to be my friend too. I love overhearing what people really think of you, (especially when it's positive), it can be so enlightening. I can see why you're so excited about the boots, they are so up your street. Big exciting parcels are the best xxx
ReplyDeleteYour boots are wicked - I would wear them until they fell apart, I love them - the outfit is really fabulous. Betty

ReplyDeleteOK, not only am I as jealous as hell of those go-go boots but also your skin. You and Curtise both look radiant today.. c'mon, what's your secret please? (A reader of my blog just told me I'm the winner of the wrinkly hand contest!) What fab bronze limbs and as for the bastard statement wall plaque, I love it.
ReplyDeletexxxx
DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your boots, the pendant, the silver bangles--- you are sooooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteThose splendiferous boots are obviously made for you to wear on St. Patrick's Day -- so gloriously green, they are!
ReplyDeleteOh Lordy, those boots are making me weak at the knees. They have found the best possible home with you, but I secretly wish I could wear them, even just for a minute :)
ReplyDeleteHow can you be in a sleeveless dress and bare legs over there when we are still layered up in sweaters and coats? Not Fair, I say!
This is one of my top 5 favourite outfits of yours, and I am so glad I know such a fabulous dame like you.
How is that possible? The boots and purse match!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, I do believe that bracelet is made from single earrings. I'm stealing that idea!
If I didn't know you and saw you in the street I'd want to steal your boots and your jewelry. Oh just kidding, I'm much too nice to do that, but I would sure be envious!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw these boots on you the first thought was "wow!". They are amazing - style and colour. The whole ensemble is stunning too - from the mini dress to the gigantic pendant.
ReplyDeleteWow, Vix those boots are so beautiful. Love them.
ReplyDeleteToo hot!! And those boots are amazing! I love the necklace, but the whole outfit looks great on you. Where did u get that bod? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOMG … I am green with envy over your green boots.
ReplyDeletexx
How great it is to want to be your own friend! I too want to be your friend (and I know I am already a friend of mine). :)
ReplyDeleteThese boots are blowing my mind! Green is just such a special color to me, and this shape it's AMAZING (I adore the purse too). Love the outfit, and you are so adorable. I imagine lots of people want to be your friend, if they are not too timid to start talking to you. :)
Oh my goodness my heart skipped two beats when I saw those magnificent, incredible shoes! Oh the colour and style! You look just amazing in them and your jewellery is fantastic too. I get the same sort of feeling when I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror or shop window reflection - it feels great to wear whatever you want and feel brilliantly fabulous in it - nothing like it. I can only imagine how fantastic you feel in your outfit here with your new shoes!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, you absolute beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteJewellery as always I'm drooling over. I tidied my jewellery box at the weekend and rediscovered some gems (literally!)
xx
Those boots are so you! You look great!
ReplyDeleteThose boots...wow! What a gorgeous gift. Your entire outfit is brilliant and I adore all the jewellery, particularly the rings.

ReplyDeleteWow, that Kinky Melon lady is a total fox in this outfit! And she does have a distinctive clank. That, and a great big happy grin. Those boots are one of the best vintage pieces I've ever seen and that dress is fabulous. Look how brown your legs are and your hair looks lovely. It must be so exciting getting these amazingly thoughtful gifts from all over the world. How nice to overhear compliments, especially when they are true. It's the Vix Effect! I might have to write a paper on it and submit it to some scientific body. We all need a bit of it! Xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are who you are because it serves to inspire the rest of us to get in touch with our inner Vix!
ReplyDeleteI.Have.Go-Go.Boot.Envy. I'm nearly as green as the bloody things!
