I found this cotton Kenwall frock at a little op shop in Caloundra. I had called in there a couple of times already while we were away & never found anything of interest, so I almost didn't bother having another look. But when I walked in I saw this lovely vintage dress hanging before me, & I knew that pretty floral print had to come home with me. It's really about 3 sizes too big, but I think I can disguise that with the belt & vest.

How I would love to be transported back to holidays at the beach, instead searching car yards for a replacement for my hubby's car. His is in a bad way, needing to spend more on repairs then it's worth, & we're reluctant to drive it at the moment. Such an exciting way to spend a Friday!
Car shopping is never much fun :( your hair looks so pretty in this post, I like the curls. The dress is pretty and doesn't look too big at all. I love etsy, I shop the way too much! Hope you find the perfect car, Tam x
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in the dress - I can see why you bought it, the colours are so pretty. If it is 3 sizes too big then you have disguised it well by wearing a waistcoat because I think you look gorgeous. Car shopping is not my thing. I like vintage and retro cars but not interested in buying one!! Hope you have a great weekend. xxx
ReplyDeleteThis dress is gorgeous! I feel your pain with the car hunting - I have started looking for a replacement for mine. I'm not holding up much hope that the insurance company will fix it :(
ReplyDeleteOh that dress is really lovely. Im sure your so glad you went back into the shop. Love the accessories with it too. Im a big fan of wearing a belt if I love a dress but its huge on me!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, Leisa, the print on the dress is so pretty, and at $2, it would have been positively rude not to buy her!
ReplyDeleteThe waistcoat and belt certainly mean it doesn't look too big - you could always take it in down the side seams if the zip is at the back, make it a little snugger on your fab figure.
Loving all the green accessories, and the beautiful holiday photos.
Good luck with the car shopping... not as much fun as op shopping, I imagine! xxx
Lovely frock and fabulous views.

That's why I live in waistcoats, my clothes are always too big!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous and I love that bargain frock. xxx
Gorgeous pattern, you'd never know it was too big! $2 too good a bargain to miss x
ReplyDeleteA very pretty bargain dress, love the pattern and it doesn't look too big at all. Hope the car hunt works out well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely print. You can't tell that it is too big for you so that was some good disguising. I love your green necklace too.
ReplyDeleteLove the frock - and what you've done w/ it :) Sorry about ur dh's car ;-
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely frock and beautiful views - I think you've hidden the fact the frock is over sized really well, it looks great xoxox
ReplyDeletevery very nice dress! I love the pattern, it just says lazy summer days to me. Beautiful jewellery, I love the green necklace too. That flower is just amazing. The Wayfayers are damn cool, I used to have some but they broke! xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pretty dress! Love all of your gorgeous accessories as always - especially the green enamel floral brooch and the disco ring!! Ergh, car trouble is almost as bad as IT trouble!!! Hope it is sorted soon.
ReplyDeleteLove! Sarah xxx
