Playing Dress-up

Ladylike

Yesterday my friend Katie and I took a trip into town and had a bit of a dress up session at WooHoo vintage, the shop I told you about last week. I’m so lucky to have such a friendly little shop just down the road, again, I had no money to spend but that didn’t mean I couldn’t try on a few bits!

I was unsure about this long, floral blue dress, but I was encouraged by shop owner Mandy to try it on. I felt completely Mad Men, again it’s a length I’m not used to! It’s probably a bit too classic and ladylike for me, believe it or not, but it was fun to try. I’m no Betty Draper but it certainly felt nice, swishing my large skirt as I walked about the shop.

I know the whole full skirts and cleavage thing is supposed to be ‘in’, but I’m not totally convinced, I tend to hide my boobs away in fear of them making me look larger! I think I’ll go back to my super-short 60s dresses for now. What do you think? Would it be nice if everyone wore pretty dresses like this again? x
