Goodnight Little Spoon: Worn; Red Wool

Nov 1, 2011

Worn; Red Wool

+ dress: vintage fair, jacket: maxim, shoes: rivers, belt: rusty.

I bought this dress at Vintage Fair in Launceston several months ago, but have never worn it because the first time I washed it it shrunk about three sizes. I have since learnt that one should hand wash important woollen items. It still just fits.

I am currently coveting this fabulous looking book by Kelly Doust titled, 'Minxy Vintage: How To Customise and Wear Vintage Clothing'. I think I'll treat myself to it next time I have some spare change - you can preorder it here.

You're eyes are amazing. Jus' saying. You could totally be the new David Bowie. Not that he's replaceable, though.

Your outfit looks fabulous. I amazed about your eyes, it looks different. Did you wear a contact lens? I would advice that you need to have an eye test before wearing anything in your eyes.
