Another Dress

Another summer dress. I found this dress with a patterned purple design in a charity shop a few days ago for just £3.00. I managed to wear it briefly on Saturday while the weather was reasonably sunny and warm to enable Hannah to take a photograph.

It has turned colder again here in the UK - which usually happens for our Spring Bank Holiday! It is difficult to plan your wardrobe ahead at the moment but I am sure my summer dresses will get some wear in the next month or so. In the meantime I will be wearing trousers while the cooler east winds are with us.

My sandals were new from Clarks at £25.99 last year.

Red Dress

No new charity shop finds for me this week, so I thought I would post on a dress I wore to a friends wedding last year. I don't wear red very often but I could not resist this dress which I found about 2 weeks before the event.

It is just above my knees in length and has some unusual detailing in the front. The label is Betex and it cost me £5.50. I found some matching shoes (Clarks) for £19.99.

I was pleased with my outfit - and may well wear the dress again in the summer.

Starfish

I have not had much luck in charity shops recently but a few days ago, I found this casual cotton top with a starfish motif. It cost me £1.00.

It is now warming up at last in the UK so I popped it on for Hannah to take some pictures for this post. I am sure I will wear it during the summer with casual outfits.

Do you like this casual look?

Vintage Trousers

I came across this photo in an old magazine recently and it has made me want to find a pair of vintage trousers. Most vintage bloggers tend to sew their own but my sewing skills are way short of attempting such a project.

Any ideas of where I can find a pair - preferably to try on before purchase - would be welcome.
