Thrifted frock that changed my life inspired another thrift stylista!!


I've shown you this thrifted silk dress with an Italian label before, but I'm featuring it again as it was exactly one year ago that I wore it, and met my dream man in it. The dress, apparently, influenced the way he thought about me - let's just put it that way!! This is me at a recent party, in THE DRESS.


This was me a year ago, with faux tan, just before jetting off to the place where I happened to meet my gorg Brit mannie.

A spin-off of an already great story about a thrifted dress is this: there's a reader of this blog, a lovely lady whose equally lovely blog, Veronica Slater Presents, I also follow. The story goes that Veronica saw this dress on Grunge Queen and loved it so well, and the story behind it, that she searched high and low in the thrift shops before finding her own dress, exactly like this one!

Love it! Veronica, you will have to think about sharing a photo of you in your frock!

I dedicate this post to Veronica, and to my lovely man - both of whom know quality when they see it, tee hee!!

  3. Love that story. The outfit I wore when I met my husband wouldn't quite match up to the glam-chic of yours. Beautiful dress. I've been passing up so many vintage finds. It hurts so much. ; )

  5. Well, ladies, in truth, it helps when you're leaning over a bar and certain parts of your posterior are in favourable view!! So the story goes, anyway. Hopefully M. Veronica will show us a pic once she has said tan!
