as promised, here is the new collection of vintage lovelies that are coming to the shop on monday night. today, i’ve named them ‘tess’. it wasn’t going to be ‘tess’ originally, it was supposed to be ‘working girl’, but the connotations that summons up are too… well too. both ‘tess’ and ‘working girl’ refer of course to the 1988 film of the same name, where tess mcgill (played by melanie giffith) is the central character. apart from getting harrison ford and having the most adorable butter-wouldn’t-melt voice, tess frolics (or strides?) around in a fantastic 80s wardrobe, including some floor sweeping coats and power suits. it’s a good film :)
so in ode to the wardrobe…
all these treasures start at a measly £0.99, so you have no excuse for missing out :)
i’ve spent the last week sniffing out vintage dresses and then of course chopping them down to make them much more today-friendly. i’ve become seriously adept at hemming too, in the process, and have been casting an eye over my own wardrobe for things i can chop up and alter… zara top, i’m coming for you!
now if you’ll excuse me, i am hosting film night tonight and better go and prepare.
have a super weekend!
