You asked for it.
Here 'tis ... the 50s/60s satin brocade frock I picked up from a flea market a couple of weeks ago for two bucks.
Ain't she loverly?
Just the thing for Frock on a Friday.
This is how I feel about missing out on a spot in tomorrow's West End Vintage and Designer Market.
When they asked for stall holders, I jumped at the chance and during the email to-ing and fro-ing, all the spaces filled up.
So I have an enormous stack of clothing and shoes ready to sell, and nowhere to go.
Poo ... there's always the August market, I just have to be quicker.
He died at age 85 this week. RIP Sergio, I feel blessed to have this lovely joy-toy to play with.
Number 3 Son puts up with a lot ... after all, he's got a whopping poseur of a mama.

Today's prop is more than just a prop ... it's my little firecracker V6 Peugeot that The Phoenix describes as "goes off like a Saturn V rocket" - heheheeee:).
She was designed by Sergio Farina, or Pininfarina, who created some of the sexiest, curviest European cars of the 20th century.He died at age 85 this week. RIP Sergio, I feel blessed to have this lovely joy-toy to play with.

You look great! I really like the cardigan pair with the dress. You could always open an Etsy store if you can't get to an actual vintage fair.

ReplyDeleteLove the photos of you behind the wheel and in that lovely bargain of a dress. I've been thinking about starting to sell some vintage...but I really don't know where to begin. As for the boy in the back seat, it's been my experience that it's best to keep the kids guessing.
ReplyDeleteha, so that's how to wear those windowpane/fishnet things.
ReplyDeleteOOooh the frock is KILLER! Love the purple/pink theme - the bangles rock my world of course and yay for sexxxy cars! Number three boy should be so lucky to have such a rock and roll mama! Have a gorgeous weekend, amor! Sarah xxx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Hell on Wheels, that's what you are! Love the pink and purple tights with those fab Melissa shoes! I've always been a sucker for beaded cardigans and that is a lovely one. Sorry you didn't get a place in the market - you could try posting some photos of stuff you want to get rid of on your blog; I'd love to see what you have!
ReplyDeleteThat brocade frock is a stunner, isn't she? Just like the hot hot hot mama wearing her! Look at No. 3 Son's little face - for God's sake, mother, WTF? I get that face too, a lot!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your market, might there be another one sooner? Ebay? Sell via Sassy Vamps?
Or just do what the ever-lovely Phoenix suggested and buy another wardrobe!
Much love, have a great weekend, you spectacular poseur! xxxxx
