If vintage swing is your thing get in here, 1950's fashion quiche thread.

[ThePortlyPinUp]

As it seemed a popular idea on the other threading thought I'd start a thread for our discuss latest buys,offers, inspirations and general chit chat :)

I may have just bought the violet dress from Collectif in the lovely,new Florita print

I buy most of my cardigans from primark. The 3/4 sleeves ones are good-buy a size down for a more fitted retro look. They have ones in at the moment with stars or hearts on and also a lovely beaded one. Collectif also have nice one's but I only buy them in the sale.

I just got them in the outlet bit of lands end. I bought a pique polo as well on sale. Going to wear it with my ankle length jeans. I should really have a look in Primark, I really like their vests. The cardigans were in the sale so they were £14(?)

Latraviata I LOVE THAT DRESS!!! It's beautiful.

I ahve a few really goregous swing dresses from peacocks, best thing is they were free as a friend bought them and decided she didnt like the look on her.

my peacocks is full of see through leggings and neon. Gah!

my voodoo vixen dress and cardi came, and is gorgoues and fits which I wasnyt 100% sure it was going to.

My dress came. It's lovely on. Will try and post a photo but I'm on my phone so unsure of how to so it.

There's a vintage festival in Scarborough on Easter Monday. Might pop along and see if I can find any bargains.

I am definately going to the glasgow festival and am trying to persuade my friend to come to the one in morecombe with me too.

That is the exact same Lady vintage dress I received this morning Not actually tried mine on yet though!

clarabumps-I am also about 40 minutes from glasgow! Its wayne hemmingways vintage festival. I went to it last year and it was really good. I went to the Let it Rock event and want to to that and maybe another one too. Let me know if you are interested.

Lovely clara I am still waiting for my 3 LadyV day dresses, but they haven't even been shipped yet. Guessing they're so busy and I reckon they prioritise their UK orders first. They've already refunded my postage from my 2nd order (had a prob with their website on Friday night) though not the order I sent back on Saturday.

Wore my steady clothing circle skirt with white top, black ballerinas,and chunky black earrings today.

My cardigans came today too and that other navy dress. I need to stop spending money now. I bought dp a couple of shirts to try and soften him up. Haha!

I've been window shopping in asos at all the lovely 50's style high waisted bikinis for in the back garden this summer, I can't buy one yet but I really want one, plus I get student discount and it's free delivery.

I got a kelly brook tankini from new look portly and its very nice. Am seriously tempted to buy another viv of holloway dress as there are loads on sale but have alreasy spent loads this month and I already have 7 of hers!

Tempting though.....

My friend is selling some V.O.H dresses on ebay and plenty of hell bunny too, I wish she was bigger so I could buy them

I really like VOH dresses. I have only window shopped so far, I don't own one yet. I feel a bit gutted I can't buy anything else this month. I need to start a wee wish list so I can work my way through it. Does anyone have an item they covet they haven't bought yet?
