You guys really pick up some of the most appealing, enjoyable yesteryear fashions around. <br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ Jessica<br /><br />*PS* I 100% agree with your comment above regarding the 1980s being the last time that we saw women (and to a degree, men, too) really dress to the nines on a regular basis. I think it's a big part of the reason why I adore that decades and its styles (though I rarely sport such myself) so very much. The fact that I was born in '84 doesn't hurt either. :)Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-25246950851262811962016-08-31T22:00:40.951+01:002016-08-31T22:00:40.951+01:00Love your new me-mades Vix!

What a beauty. Are you going to model it for us or are you exercising your cast iron will and giving it to Kinky M? I had a Vivien Smith 80s evening dress which was lovely but there's only so many posh frocks you can keep, well with this lifestyle anyway!! :) Your car boot treasures are pretty amazing, the red and blue macs are great and what about that cape pattern?! Right, better get myself together, I'm off to a night shift in a bit.

It's a bit of a no-brainer really.<br /><br />The gods of chazzas are smiling on me right now; I've found a 70s floral maxi (really cute; I don't think it's bright enough for you though I bet it'll sell) and a striped 1970s St Michael lady's shirt (you said vinage St Michael goes like hotcakes.) If you're at Judy's next time it's in Bath, I'll bring it along. Plus anything else I find.
