Just bought a few goodies. I saw this dress and thought of VG, a nice vintage 40's style.

Not at Boden's or on sale, but yesterday I ordered some clothes, too.

These skirts:

And this dress:

Two of them are on back-order, though, so I may have to wait a while.

Do you go to functions and stuff, with your swing coat on and your seamed stockings and red lips then wow them all with jitterbug VG Smile

Vintage is big now, and it is very feminine look and easy to pull off. I wanted the mole coloured one to go with my red Mary Janes but it was sold out in my size Mad

I have most things sent to my parents' house, unless I know it will be delivered by the Post Office. FedEx, UPS, etc. I have a problem with because they try to deliver when I'm out, won't leave packages, and then after three tries they send it back. So yesterday I was over there for dinner, and got the pink skirt. The others are on back order. It's a nice crinkly material, so I won't have to iron it! I have successfully avoided ironing for years now.

Too bad about the card mix-up; at least you'll be getting your new clothes soon!

Hmmmm Boden........

Muppetmurderer wonders whether he should start a thread about cars or DIY, for the non-female inmates here.....

Very Happy
