If I did ever spend that much on an item of clothing I'd probably want to be buried in it. Isn't it amazing that these fancy brands that sell for SO MUCH can't even pay a labourer a fair wage for sewing the garments? It kind of blows my mind. You look fab as always Vix, your maxi is incredible and with the festival season coming up I'm going to be admiring you excellent stalls from afar!Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-56249377483357017482016-04-22T15:02:31.756+01:002016-04-22T15:02:31.756+01:00Superb finds all around - vintage and modern piece...Superb finds all around - vintage and modern pieces alike.
