60’s

Recently I found a vintage shop in Nottingham that I had never been to. I didn’t take that many photos inside, just a couple of snaps with my phone but here is a taster:

I bought a couple of things there – a pair of 50’s spectacles  and this cute 60’s ivory and orange dress, with peculiar square buttons in perfect shape, for  £12. Not the cheapest thing ever but fairly priced for a vintage shop. Some shops seem to price old dresses like they’re made of gold or something… The fabric feels a bit rough to the touch, I suspect it might have been made for decoration purposes initially but I think it looks great as a dress too. I’m certainly not the first nor will be the last to wear clothes made out of curtains, right Vix?

Details:  Dress – Vintage, Coat – Zara (swap with Lili), Bag – Ahcahcum Muchacha , Cardigan – H&M, via Ebay, Tights – Ebay, Shoes – Pull and Bear (sale), Necklace – second hand, from my trip to Sheffield, Sunnies – Moschino, via TK Maxx, Blue Baby Brooch – from the Vintage Market in Brussels.

I’m adding this to Patty’s Visible Monday as it’s that time of the week!
