I had a terrible case of Mondayitis yesterday, for some reason almost wanting to have a little teary session when I got to work. I think I need a holiday! Mick + I are actually going away for a few days next weekend, so I’ve got that to look forward to! Ahh well, it was all made better when I got home and two things happened. 1: the house was sparkling clean, our housemate had totally spring cleaned the entire house – bathroom, toilets, mopped + vacuumed.. everything! this job is usually left to me, so it felt so good to come home + it was already done. 2: my super fantastic 50’s dress from eBay was awaiting me! It was wrapped in tissue paper with a ribbon tie and hand a sweet hand written note, it made my day!
So of course, I’m wearing the wonderful dress today to work!! It is amazing and I love it, and totally feel the need to own a petticoat already, imagine if the skirt was even poofier – perfection!! I have quite small shoulders, so I felt a bit overwhelmed by the top part at first: the high neck and where the sleeves ended. I contemplated whether I should tailor this to a different neckline, but after putting my hair up I decided it had a very Audrey vibe, if she was to wear sweet pastel floral frocks! So the dress is staying as is!! It even has it’s own little matching belt, which I adore! I wish all my vintage frocks still had their matching belts!
I went for a super sweet look today, so I opted for these cream heels + my lovely Mimco hair comb and crystal opal studs. I needed a toned down bag, usually I would have gone for my cream vintage glomesh clutch, but I needed one big enough to lug all my work stuff with me, so I whipped out this old favourite, I still adore it! Also, I am planning to read up on my old 1967 copy of Flair magazine + teach myself how to do some lovely 60’s hair styles, imagine how great a beehive would look today! I am determined to conquer the 60’s do!!
