A Cobalt Blue Vintage Dress Makes a Good Thrifty Outfit......

cobalt blue 1

It's Sunday.......the day of rest!! or in my case: the day of housework and chores!

Alas, I still managed to fit in some bloggy stuff.

I can't remember if I'd shown this vintage dress on the blog before. But I found it again, tucked away, crammed deep into my wardrobe; quietly nestling in-between a 1950's sequin top and a vintage velvet folk jacket. Yep, I thought it deserved a little outing on the blog. Besides, cobalt blue is apparently tipped to be "the colour" this season.
Of course, being a vintage girl and all, I don't really follow fashion per se - however, I just happened to have this dress and the colour happens to be in vogue :)

Like most of my vintage pieces, I picked this dress up around 3-4 years ago in a charity shop and it cost around £5. In fact, all of this outfit has been thrifted when I look at it.

Looking so serious in this one, but I was in a good mood, I promise - the sun was shining and what more could a girl want mid January?

This headscarf I picked up a few weeks back, I love it's peachy nature.....and the blue tones too, that compliment the dress....

I can't remember when or where I acquired the gloves, they may have been thrifted, or the might have been my late Nans - I have a little stash of these vintage gloves. I even have a navy pair that I found in my box today. I think I have too much stuff, don't you think?

  5. I adore this dress! What a stunning colour (will have to remember to dig out all of my cobalt if it is going to be THE colour!), and the peachy scarf and gloves are just perfect.
