A flash of vintage colour!

The Attic People vintage” title=
I certainly added a little colour to our East London neighborhood the other week on this grey and blustery 'so called' summer evening. Me and Ross were heading out for a few drinks to celebrate my dear friend Catherine's birthday in Camden.

This colourful dress has been on show in our bedroom for the last year without any loving wear from me. I was going to hem it as I don't tend to wear maxi dresses too often, but I'm glad I left it as I had so many compliments that evening. For some reason it felt right to wear it after a year on my rail... anyone else suffer from clothes neglect? Maybe it was because I never had the right coat to wear over it, or the material is too hot to wear on a warm evening, or I was simply never in the right mood to wear it. But this night was perfect and I enjoyed every minute of wearing this bold statement dress :)

My weekend in Nottingham was special and I had a really good buying trip yesterday so lots of new vintage will be hitting The Attic People Vintage within the next couple of weeks.

Good weekend?

  1. really a lovely maxi frock, my dear, it definitely deserves to be worn :) You look really stunning in it! I also have never been a maxi length girl, but some really nicely printed skirts by Free People warmed my heart. Really a different feeling wearing a maxi, isn't it? The pattern and the colours really suit you very well. Have a good week!

    it looks perfect on you. i wish i was 5'10 so i could wear maxi dresses more often but being 5'5..i usually try to stay away from them..but this is to beautiful to be ignored. :)

  6. Too many of my clothes suffer from neglect. :/ I do kind of hoard a lot of my clothing, though; I just can't seem to let them go, even the pieces I've never worn (of which there are only a few, thank goodness). Cute dress. :)
