She may be young but she only likes old things...

Ok that's not exactly true but I do love old things, antiques, old music and most of all vintage clothes. My favourite decades for vintage clothes are the 50's, 60's and 70's. I get very excited when I find a gem on eBay or in a charity shop. Today's dress I found on eBay a few weeks ago. It's a 1960's number that I'm so happy to have in my wardrobe. In true 60's style it is a mini which even at my short 5"4 is a little too short for me and a tiny bit small on the hips- no bending in this! I thought I'd mix it up a bit with a 20's style hat and my beloved Chelsea boots.

    1. I'm the same as you, the 80's just isn't for me, although I do own one or two peices from that time but I never wear them!
      Thank you!

  3. I love the print on this dress! I never seem to have any luck with thrifting, maybe I just don't look hard enough.

    1. Hi Jaclyn, I think looking very oftern is the key to thrifting, a little time consuming though!
