Ooh it’s been a long while since I’ve dipped my toe in the old retro pool, and I hadn’t realised how much I’d missed it to be honest. The occasion was a visit to London to meet my gorgeous girl Elena of Frivolous Mrs D. Elena is a vintage kinda gal so I thought I’d make the effort.
The lovely folk at Lindy Bop sent us some dresses over for the occasion, sadly mine was bit small so I’m swapping it, and I’l be blogging it soon, but thankfully I’d bought myself a bargain in the sale that week also, so I wore that instead.
I just can’t get enough of this dress, I’ve worn it twice in a week, which is not like me at all, I normally come out in hives if I wear the same outfit too close together! I think it’s sold out on the site, but there are a tonne of cute plus size wiggle dresses on there to chose from.

Elena and I had a wonderful day in London, we visited All Star Lanes for some retro american diner fun, grabbed a quick hug with our lovely friend Cath and bought Lola’s cupcakes. Elena looked so gorgeous in her ‘Rita’ dress also from Lindy Bop, we had such a lovely, chilled day, lots of chatting, laughing, a tiny bit of crying and lots of yummy food. Pretty perfect really.
I’m definitely enjoying revisiting my vintage phase, it’s not something I’d do full time because I love jeans and trainers and baggy sweatshirts too much, but I think I’m going to incorporate little bits into my wardrobe for rebellious, rockabilly days.
