Whilst I am hoplessly in love with the decades gone by I am also ashamed to say that I am terribly lazy. I have so much admiration for those ladies that choose to embrace their favourite era with so much dedication. I wish I wore only seamed stockings, vintage dresses, and high heels everyday. I wish I put my hair into pin curls every night, wore red lipstick religiously and never left the house without a hat and gloves but I don’t. In fact my standard uniform seems to be an old pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt (with rolled sleeves) or a ribbed singlet, and my trusty Chuck Taylors… not very glamorous at all! On the other hand I am hardly ever without red painted finger nails, I pin my hair up daily, and always always carry red lipstick with me incase I unexpectantly go out in the evening. I collect beautiful vintage clothes and hang them in my cupboard so they can be admired, I follow the blogs and websites of others who do manage to pull the look off 24/7, and I dream of one day having the time and energy to do it myself.
Sorry I will continue this tomorrow. It’s a beautiful afternoon, the sun is shinning and I need to take this opportunity to go for a swim!
