Frock Wars

Hey you know when you get dressed to go out and I dunno ... do some stuff?
Well I got my Friday Frock on and when I came back home I didn't get a chance to snap some pics coz The Phoenix took it all off.
Oooh errrr!
I was too knackered to put it all back on again ... but since I so enjoyed Friday's frock-up and de-frocking I decided on an outfit rerun today.


 I've outed this hat-tacular 1960s, patchwork-print, cotton beret I snaffled from an expensive op shop recently for $8.
Normally they have the most insane rip-off prices but I thought eight bucks was rather generous of them as they would normally charge at least $35 for something like this.


 I'm never too busy to stroke the pussy. Ain't she loverly?


 I love the hip-tastic gored skirt on this dress.  I always feel compelled to do some extra swingy hip action while wearing it.
And of course, Rough Vera would approve of my double-bag style.
The green tights are new from Sock Dreams - I love their tights so much!!



 Why the bindhi?  Why not?


Sparkly glitter shoes have special magical powers and cause people to weep in the street.
It's was so lovely to evoke some powerful emotions again while out and about this morning.


 There are many label whores out there so here's the label of my one dollar, 1970s, dead-stock dress.


Love that hat label font.



I wonder what I have in store for me today?
Happy Monday everyone!!

    Dearest Desiree,
    You look so pretty perched on top of the boot of the car!
    Fabulous ensemble and the hat is truly amazing.
    You don't need a reason to sport a bindi, they rock...I brought a few packets with me on holiday and I wore one almost every night.
    Hope you've had a fab weekend!
    Lot's of love,
    Jennie

    Oo-er, don't you just love a good de-frocking! It does get in the way of taking outfit photos though, doesn't it? I'm glad you gave this outfit a re-run, because I'm completely smitten with your dress.

    I am crazy for the green tights - they make the outfit and make an otherwise vintage outfit look modern. You look lovely and oh so stylish.

    The Phoenix is obviously feeling very perky at the moment and who could blame him? You look gorgous in your ladylike frock and green tights.
    Darling Helga bought me the matching maxi skirt to that insanely fabulous hat!
    Have a wonderful day whatever you do get up to. xxx

    I'm a sucker for a gored dress or skirt, for that matter. So glad your s[arkly shoes have magical powers--mine lost their touch.
    You make me smile :~)
