Wardrobe: Alterations

Hello lovely people!

Just a quick update to inform you that I'll now be making Wardrobe posts every fortnight, rather than every week. I have rather a lot of clothes, but not *that* many. Here's a nice photo of some vintage crochet blankets to say sorry:

P.S, I'm working on my first 'DIY How To' post...exciting times ahead!

Wardrobe: Teal 'Fo Real

I'm rather excited to blog about my outfit choice today, as a new coat arrived in the post from eBay - just in time! Buying clothes from eBay is always a gamble as you can't try them on beforehand, but most of the time I'm not disappointed. This purchase was no exception:

I won this vintage piece for thrupence, which is proof that searching for winter clothes in summer is a winner (not for the seller, but y'know)

Black velvet collar and delicate lace detailing on the dress.

Velvet covered buttons.

Dainty floral print.

Wardrobe: Crazy for Coral

Suppp all! I'm afraid it's a late one today as I've been rather busy organising some messy sheds (yep, I still haven't finished yet).

The sun has finally returned to our part of the world, so this evening I went for something light, airy and full of colour:

I recently found some coral sandals to match my cardi, so chuffed!
