I bought a wine coloured coat from the seller that had the green velvet jacket I showed you. I like it but it's not as lovely as it looked in the picture. I wanted to know what you thought. Hope you're having a good week.

I have never done such a thing, and actually, I don't think I ever really, until now, believed that people (other than old men) did so. <br /><br />How fun is that though? Makes me want to go to the track. Seems so cool and different.

And love the hat you are wearing in the photo. Surely not the one you bought with your loot? But hey, looking closer - I recognised that blazer. Surely it's my lovely M&S one, retired for over 10 years but still hanging in my wardrobe. Well perhaps not the exact same style (lacking those 80s shoulders) but similar tweed check. A winter country classic in other words. Oo-er - I may give another go. Though as mine is longer, it needs a leather belt to bring it up to date I think. On the other hand, maybe I'll take it to my next vintage fair for a younger, sassy fashionista like you, to breathe new life into it.elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-10199659822399798802010-10-25T17:29:37.784+01:002010-10-25T17:29:37.784+01:00WOO! all round!!!
