There are items that take a month to arrive - clothes that aren't what they seemed - furniture not fit for use - dvd's that don't work... (the mistake buys go on and on)
And THEN you find a gem **BLING** >>>>>>>
Oh Yummy Yummy 1970's dress.You can see i had trouble photographing it to it's full effect!
It is much brighter than it seems here and sets off a gentle tan with it's neon pink.Fits very snuggly (especially after a gentle handwash - i was scared i'd have to sew myself into it after it met warm water)
It is floor length with a sort of fish tail at the back.
£12.00 ebay treasure - i wore it on Saturday night... (and well in to Sunday morning... for which I am still paying the price with a soft head averse to noise) for a "Summer of 1969" party. You know me, i'd wear it for a non-themed event, vintage clothing gives me so much pleasure.
And i had to share with you: ManFish and MotherFish who threw themselves into the idea of a 1970's Festival Theme with such enthusiasm... i don't know where i get my sense of colour and fun from.....?
Colour and Fun!! (remind me to show the photos of us all dressed as the AntHill Mob)I love sharing my world with you x enjoy the sunshine my friends!

Oh, I love theme parties! I can see you belong to a colourful family ;-) You all look wonderful!
My family:

2. any excuse to open a bottle of champagne
3. any excuse to dress up

You and the dress both look stunningly gorgeous! :-) What a great buy.
Know what you mean about Ebay. . Love the dress, you carry off beautifully, but most of all, loved that bottom photo. I LOVED the seventies.... (thinking about them brings a quiet smile....).x and how weird is this: the word verification is "iddlysm".
Fab dress on you lady! ahhhh the 'colourful' family....!!!!! ;0
Just to let you know I've awarded you the 'Lemonade' award on my blog too ;0 X
That is one utterly fab looking party :) So much colour is definately a 100% brilliant thing :)

You look great in that dress, i love the colours. that looks like lots of fun!
My buttons arrived today i was so excited, they are great all lovely, the flower ones are gorgeous, and the colours YUMMY! thank you.
A very strange thing happens when i leave comments on your blog the word verification quite often is very close to the word button, how strange is that?!
