It sure beats ‘made in china, cool wash, warm iron’.<br />Nice to see those Mjus boots on, the first photo (in your previous post) doesn’t do them justice, aren’t they lovely?!<br />It was so nice to discover your blog, I was tired of all the youngsters too, it just didn’t resonate with me. Although i wrote some of those wish lists back when I first started. I doubt many of those 20yr olds are still blogging now but yours has stood the test of time, which speaks volumes. <br />Your questions are very interesting, they’ve certainly got me thinking!<br />xxHazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-30558474860465632362019-03-27T07:12:41.271+00:002019-03-27T07:12:41.271+00:00Now that's an image!!

You post much more frequently than I do (most of the bloggers I know do), but as you mentioned, you only post when you feel you have something to say, and for me that ends up being once a month. I do post on IG a couple of times a week though. Congratulations on the Sunshine award - I remember when those made the rounds.

Sometimes you get an indication of a previous life from the contents of a pocket or a handbag but most of the time you'll forever wonder about the origins.<br />What a sweet story about your liberation dresses you bought in Church Street market. I bet it was wonderful to treat yourself after such hardship.<br />Loved your answers. I'm going to suggest Dame Judi Dench - not just because of the striking silver hair but she's also witty, intelligent and with a superb sense of style, just like you! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-57090958215306506962019-03-12T18:55:27.724+00:002019-03-12T18:55:27.724+00:00The overall look is fabulous.

I only wish I could do that, which is probably why my blogging falls by the wayside a lot. I can't seem to do a post that doesn't take me a whole day, and sometimes more. Crazy, I know.

I know you rarely wear trousers but I think it would look fabulous with big trousers, too...<br /><br />I was so touched by the story behind your dream dress. How lovely to know the back story. Wouldn't it be great to know the backstory behind all the secondhand clothes we buy? On second thoughts maybe not; some might be sad or tragic. I loved your dream dress. I had a very similar one in the early 1990s bought from Church Street market in West London along with a chambray one. I bought them both for 15.00 each; the first time I had been able to buy myself something since I had split up with the ex-husband and I wore them both a lot. Wish I'd kept them!<br /><br />Loved reading your answers to the questions. Imagine inspiring someone to go India - go Vix! Thank you for answering the questions I asked you; I really enjoyed reading your answers.<br /><br />Now to your questions:<br /><br />I'd invite Frida Kahlo; Olivia Coleman; Toni Morrison; Charlotte Bronte and Daphne Du Maurier over for a meal. I'd like to swap places for a day with a female author I admire, too many to mention, but just so as I could see how they manage to produce the magic that I love to read. I have no clue at all about a female actor to play me in a movie about myself. I'd like Miss Prynne Fisher's wardrobe, please. My inspirations for style have come mostly from women I've seen in the street throughout the years and latterly through reading blogs - more power to them all!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />xxxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-69118104804885173222019-03-11T18:45:20.270+00:002019-03-11T18:45:20.270+00:00Thanks, Patti!
