Neither the I, nor the weather, was feeling much in the Christmas spirit today, but as I had an invitation for dinner with friends, I decided to adopt the "fake it til you make it" philosophy. I had found this 70's polyester maxi-dress at the May Court Shop for $7 last month, and had set it aside to wear on Christmas as a tribute to the fabulous Vix, of the blog
Vintage Vixen. Vix, who lives in the UK, loves her maxi-dresses and looks like a million bucks in clothing that she finds for next to nothing at charity shops and car boot sales. Below is a shot of her I borrowed from her blog (with her permission)
Vix, in all her polyester glory. Actually, she's wearing a jumpsuit, not a maxi-dress, but the point is that she loves dressing up, and her style is joyful, eco-friendly, and downright brilliant.
The flower headband from
Weezi Design Studio seemed the perfect accessory for the dress, and generated some smiles while I was waiting for the bus.
You look stunning and I'm honoured by the mention. I love your headpiece!
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Holidays. It's been rather odd here, too, mild and dry which beats the last two years! x
You are beautiful in maxi-dress and headpiece! Love the ever inspiring Vix!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.

Isn't that headband what is being called a "fascinator"? I can see why.
ReplyDeleteWhom realizes the reason why this particular Industrial Webbing Supplier is so sophisticated? http://www.rosemonttextiles.com/weldable-webbing/
