Vintage Polka Dots & Classic Denim

The pink vintage polka dot blouse hadn’t been taken for a night out in a while, so I treated it last Friday when we went to a fabulous live show by a well-known UK illusionist/hypnotist (we’ve been sworn to secrecy about the show, so I can’t talk about it!).


It’s all those lovely jewel colours again – like in this post a couple of months back – and now I see them together, the River Island heels work so beautifully with the blouse. I think they were made for each other, don’t you think?! And thank you to the 1980s for making poufy blouson-style tops in garish colours. I love them, but only after I’ve removed the shoulder pads.


See the bottom of the post for details on how to vote at the eleventh hour for me to win a major blogger award, won’t you…? This’ll be the last time I can post about it so you’ll be safe after today!


Thank you my lovelies, and Happy Wednesday!

P.S. It sort of looks like I’ve cut all my hair off… I haven’t. It’s just a messy ponytail with lots of pins stuck in, without a blowdry, after it’s been washed!

    I do the same thing with shoulder pads, and then they are perfect. I love this top and your photos are wonderful…such detail. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com

    Catherine,
    So glad to be officially following along now. :)… I my absence, is it me, or do you look different? It has been a while… I am going to go with: your hair is darker and have you lost weight? Whatever it is, you look terrific as ever!
    Hope you are well, Whitley

    Whenever I find great vintage tops, the shoulder pads always get the boot. LOL. It's nice to have the 80s but without the big shoulders. πŸ™‚ I love that top and it looks so cute with the purple coat! <3

    It would have been lovely to meet you and I'm gutted I'm not going to the awards. Another time for sure,

    good luck!

    These intense jewel colours work so well for you, Catherine.
    I'd love to see a view from the side onto your shoes as I couldn't believe they are heels until I saw the thumbnail photo at the bottom!

    Glad you didn't cut your beautiful hair off!!
