Were you camping in Gilbert all the time? Must get a bit cramped for a long time! I wish I lived a bit closer than at least an hour from there or I would say, come and have a shower here or stay a night if you needed a bed!<br />Hope you are well though!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-32210426493501233292018-09-16T20:44:13.471+01:002018-09-16T20:44:13.471+01:00You know I adore all your "feast for the eyes...You know I adore all your "feast for the eyes" outfits, but I am in love with your Monday print dress and fedora! <br />I do a weekly trip to my fave thrift stores and there's very little real vintage to be had. The occasional nice piece I've found is usually in bad shape. We're back to hot and humid weather here in southwestern Ontario and I'm so ready to move on to "light jacket" weather.

Booking that trip after the festival season rather than before we went, like last year, was a stroke of genius!<br />Most of my holiday wardrobe is stuff I've had for years with a few bits I've found in the charity shops over the summer. There is that inclination to rush off and buy something new just before you go, isn't there? I restrained myself and just got a new lipstick! xxx Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-4769621306267060152018-09-13T07:55:27.682+01:002018-09-13T07:55:27.682+01:00Funnily enough I thought of you when I spotted tha...Funnily enough I thought of you when I spotted that red jacket and maxi coat - I've seen you in things very similar!

I'm amazed how many people told us how well we both looked, I felt about 103! <br />Yes, easy to get carried away with buying all the vintage especially if you're having a lean day of finds but it all ends up going back to the shop if you're not careful! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-69844940903214705632018-09-13T07:51:41.717+01:002018-09-13T07:51:41.717+01:00He's fab! xHe's fab! xVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-47289679001265965422018-09-13T07:51:33.280+01:002018-09-13T07:51:33.280+01:00Who doesn't need a marabou trimmed maxi?
