Another 'why charity shops are great post'... My face really isn't but unfortunately I'm kind of stuck with it. This burgundy velour top/shift/mini dress, not really sure what it is was £4 from a charity shop in Worcester Park, one of my favourite places to go for charity shops. It is Frank Usher so was probably really expensive in whatever decade it was 'new'. Its a size 14 so maybe it is a top but I liked the idea of wearing it as a sort of 60s style mini dress with suspender detail tights, and I love the pointy pizza slice collar, and it has the option to button up the neck, creating a cheeky clevage keyhole. Also like the flared wizard sleeves. It doesn't look very good on me but I was drawn to it for some inexplicable reason, probs def the fact its velour. The boots I am wearing are my absolute favourites and suprisingly comfortable. And they have leopard print on so win win win win win.
I went out dancing last night to The Bath House in Bishopsgate but all of my 'going out' gear, namely by shoes and nice handbags are in Reading so I had to make do with this not very exciting outfit. I love the mix of music they play at The Bath House on Saturday nights, went there over the summer and was pleased to find that they still mix Metallica, Aerosmith and AC/DC in a line-up with decent eighties like The Eurythmics and a generous helping of Motown and Soul. Will definitley be trying to drag people back there more often, and its only a five minute bus trip from where I live, even better.
Really love this, such a great colour. It reminds me of something Sabrina the Teenage Witch would have worn! x
