A vintage dress

Hiya

The funniest thing happened to me the other day.  I was in Dorothy Perkins and was browsing the concession sale rails, there was only me and this little old lady in the shop and we were browsing the same items!

In her hands she was holding a silver sparkly tunic dress with sequins on, it was really pretty and she asked she asked me what size I thought XL was in DP, to be honest it looked like a size 12!!  I said I was not sure as you know what shops are like nowadays with sizing I mean I am a 12 and I can get into anything from an 8-16 depending on the shop!  She then proceeded to tell me that she loved fashion and shopping and she was in fact 90 years old...in which I gasped she looked fabulous. She was wearing a beautiful bright magenta jumper (something you would buy in Topshop)  with the same colour hat and full make up. She proceeded to tell me how she was never going to end up dressing grey and dowdy like an old lady. 

As she was talking to me I suddenly realised she was me in 50 years time! 
I did feel a small tinge of sadness but why should I....she was happy and said she did not feel old but she reminded me of a book I had read called Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella (one of the best books I have read). I wondered what she was like when she was young how she would have looked.   I left thinking that you are NEVER too old to look fabulous and look after yourself.

Onto the reason for my post....my fabulous new vintage looking dress courtesy of ASOS Marketplace.  Have you ever used this?

I fell in love with this vintage style teal floral dress and had to have it.  It arrived yesterday and its lovely, its very good quality and lined.   I am planning to wear this when the weather gets warmer with tan wedges.

Also I will be doing a haul post in a few days!!

Have a lovely weekend
