A few weeks ago I blogged about
op-shopping in Goulburn. The purchase I didn't post a photo of was this amazing vintage Gerry Shaw dress that I bought to wear to a vintage ball I had coming up. It is such a stunning dress, and suits my figure brilliantly. Bub thinks it makes me look like a mermaid, and I see where she's coming from:
I got so many comments on it! The ball was a very enjoyable night, with excellent food and entertainment. I was a little dissapointed in the lack of genuine vintage attire amongst the girls - many had just worn a modern ball dress, or a modern dress and long sleeved gloves to add a "vintage" touch. If there was a vintage dress competition, I would have been sure to have won! I'm entering it into
Sophie's Flea Market Find of the Year, a competition where people post their favourite thrifty find. If you'd like to vote for me, email:

I did snap some pictures of girls in vintage attire, as follows:
Left: Vintage pantsuit and lace top, which belonged to her Mum. Right: Vintage tea dress purchased at Fash and Treasure (I blogged about it
here)
Amazing vintage sequined dress, belonged to her Mum (I'm seeing a theme here which makes me very jealous!)
Not a vintage dress, but cute accessories and she has gone to some effort to look "vintage", so I thought it was worth posting.
Some other happy snaps from the night:
Succulent lamb for entree - this was fabulous
Chicken main course, tasted a lot better than it looks actually!
The big band which entertained us with swingin' 50's tunes all night long
The dress is divine! But look at the body in it...you seriously have had a baby? Urg. Jealous.
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing in that dress!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a vintage ball! Shame there wasn't more authentic vintage.. but the girls you've snapped all look rad! Though you would have definitely won the prize :)
You look beautiful in your dress. x
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your dress and look to have had a good time! I know what you mean about people not really making the effort. I went to a gala last weekend, wearing mostly vintage, and there were some 'un-gala' wardrobe choices to be sure. Life gives us so few chances to get really dressed up that I am always surprised to see so many people under-dressed.
ReplyDelete5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me.
