As I mentioned in Sundays blog post, this weekend we went to the fabulous Classic Car Boot Sale. I managed to pick up two new (to me) 1950s dresses, which makes me very happy. I had been on the lookout for something floral and something with a typical mid-century style print and the vintage gods were obviously looking down on me as I found exactly what I’d been looking for.
The first dress is this beautiful purple floral one which was a steal at only £30!
The second dress was this gorgeous cream dress with a mustard and grey print. The dress is full of lovely details including the cutest pockets ever. I cannot wait to wear it! This one cost £40.
My next mission is to find some accessories to go with them. I’d like a purple and a mustard cardigan to wear with them, and possibly some jewellery. Look out for an OOTD with these soon.
Have any of you got any nice dresses recently?

Love the mini-makeover on your blog too, looking good.
Can’t wait for the next book on the Vintage Book Club – what’s it going to be??

Lucky enough to find 1 perfect vintage dress, but 2? That’s pure heaven.

October 17, 2013 at 12:01 pmI know! I was thrilled to get both. The detailing is amazing they don’t construct clothes like they used too!
