The Handbags and The Gladrags ...........

Yep, clothes. I love 'em.

And I have a lot of them. I love dressing up, I'm not ashamed to say and get fairly dismayed by today's penchant for " dress down".

I, frankly, enjoy spending time getting outfits and "looks" together, I do dress in some vintage  but these days I'm a much larger lady than I was, therefore find it a bit more difficult to find vintage that fits me.  I  use mainly modern take offs. and repro.  Still, I have some nice vintage clothing pieces and, of course, vintage accessories and jewellery are one size only! (And fit me just fine).

And vintage accessories and jewellery rock!

I'll have a go at all eras, anything before the age of the jogging bottom, puffa jacket and shell suit, really and before effort and decorum became deeply unfashionable.

 My current favourite is  the Mod look, Pattie Boyd, Marianne and Anita, of course, Jean Shrimpton,  Cathy McGowan, in their Sixties heyday.

Inevitably, I get digs and snipes and comments, which, equally inevitably, I ignore.  Sure, if people want to wander about ungroomed that's ok by me, after all, we all have our own circumstances, but just don't expect me to do the same.

So, this leads to one of my resolutions for New Year - pack as much style in as I can before 31 December 2019!
