Happy Monday Folks! Another weekend, gone, so quickly!
I had a lovely relaxing weekend. If we’re friends on Instagram you may have seen that i am the proud new owner of a sewing machine. My sis came down to assist me on Saturday as she’s quite the pro and we potched about with it. And then…. Then i was on my own with it. And now i’m scared of it! I need to do some reading up i think as it is not coming naturally let me tell you. But i’ve only had the thing 2 days, we just don’t know each other well enough yet. So i’m booking us a 2hour date together this afternoon to get to know one another better. Wish me luck!
Vintage 1960’s Dress Via Ebay seller: Retro Rainbow Vintage (she has some AMAZING well priced pieces)
Brooch: Vintage
Daps & hair tie: New Look
Bag: Chelsea Girl range at River Island (on major sale)
I flippin’ love this dress. It came with the most amazing vintage elastic white and red belt which, on the day of wearing the dress, little to my knowledge, my son had stashed the belt away in his toy box. I was so sad!! But alas mama bear has found the belt and restored to its rightful place.
Even hubby looked up and smiled and passed a positive comment on this dress which never happens 😉
And the shoes. Do you call these daps? Or what? My mum used to buy us these when we were kids, the cheap mans trainers. She wouldn’t buy us the top notch, fancy pants trainers all my friends were wearing, we had daps… and now i’ve gone full circle back to the daps. And my my they are comfy! Maybe you were on to something mum?? (hiii by the way mum, i know you’re a lurker reading this xx)
And is it me or are my legs getting whiter? Seriously, i’m going to be translucent soon. Come on Britain, show us some sun!
Ok lovelies, have yourselves a lovely week! I’ll let you know how my sewing endeavours go…

This is such a bright, sharp look. It's no wonder you get compliments! And congratulations on the new, but scary sewing machine.
I've bought some great dresses from that ebayer seller. You look so lovely in red, that dress is great! Don't be scared of your sewing machine, it might take a while but soon you'll be getting along just fine (I've just got an overlocker and am currently looking at in horror, I've no idea how to thread the damn thing!) x
Hi Rachel
You look so gorgeous in this dress. Thanks so much for your business and hope to see u soon at Retro Rainbow Vintage! ps some gorgeous dresses on their way from the States as we speak so keep an eye out on my shop!
I love this dress, the color is perfect, and the toy-box accessorizing sublime 🙂 I loved those white fake kids when I was a kid, all through my 20s…and yes, even now, except I have blue ones from Payless. Can't beat a comfy, classic sneaker, even if it doesn't say Keds 🙂
This outfit is so retro rad; and it makes you look effing skinny!!!! And that's all I have to say about that.
Happy Monday, love!
