I have been very busy with school PTA stuff, we have a coffee morning in a fortnight, and end of term discos for the kids to organise. As with all tasks like this, it sounds easy and straightforward enough, but there is so much to do, and not always enough volunteers... I like doing it though, gives me a legitimate excuse not to do housework.
I have a day of fun tomorrow. My friend Patsy and her daughter are coming to visit, there is a jumble sale locally in the morning, and then we plan to enlarge Patsy's wardrobe with some charity shop bargains. There happens to be a Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair in Sheffield tomorrow too, but we might not get to that. Tea is planned at a wonderful Turkish grill restaurant called Zeugmas.
All this activity will doubtless be accompanied by excessive laughter and much piss-taking. I will take my camera, almost as though I were a proper blogger.
Busy busy busy! But as I proceed jumble-home-charity shop-coffee shop-charity shop-restaurant, I will not stop being dandy or lower myself, forgetting all my standards.
Thank you for the reminder, Adam.
Have a great weekend, remember that ridicule is nothing to be scared of!

Never stop being dandy, ever! Mind you I think poor Adam forgot everything a few years back.

Love that outfit, I also want to visit Chesterfield flea market
That's a great outfit, love the hat! I will have to visit Chesterfield flea market (and Vix's) one day in the near future. Maybe you'll find a suitable skirt pattern and that fabled Enid Collins bag one day soon?
Hope you enjoy your weekend, it sounds lovely x
LOVE the print and colours of your dress and your hat is just the thing for it. I always have trouble with hats as I've such a pin head. Wasn't Diana Dors fabulous in that vid? I wish I was coming with you tomorrow, it sounds my kind of day. Have fun.

Hi Curtise!
This first at work made me completly unorganized for blogging, i have to find time to post, but very hard with physio 2x a week, i get home late.
So i guess it makes me busy as well!
We have so many charity sales in your part of the world!
I love your hat very pretty
Have a good weekend

I saw Adam (and the ants) when they came to Perth. First proper concert. Ha!
Love your dress and floppy hat.
Sounds like you've got a fun and dandy weekend ahead of you.
And Curtise, you are a proper blogger, aren't you?
Love that hat and the print on your dress! You also rock the denim jacket with any of your outfits! (I'm a wee bit partial to a good denim jacket too!)
Have a fine and dandy weekend - sounds like it's gunna be a pearler.

That hat is a great find. I went to a Judy's Affordable Vintage Sale in London a couple months back and bought a hat that I adore: http://www.joyatri.com/joyatri-home-page/2012/1/30/wrap-up-of-time-in-london-part-i.html
Sounds like a lovely weekend ahead -- enjoy!
Well you sure as heck look DANDY!!
I am totally crazy over your dress. And your new hat does look rather lovely on you.
I am excited to as I will go to my first garage sale of the year tomorrow. There is only one listed so I am crossing my fingers to find at least one cool thing.
I just love reading your posts. Some of your words are not completely familiar to me but I do get your humor and wit. I imagine your lovely accent too. That hat is gorgeous and I love how you take a dress from the 60's and make it look current with your boots and denim...great dress! PTA sounds much better than housework. Have a great weekend...dawn suitcase vignettes xo thanks for your well wishes with my op.
I do adore that dress. Green floral always captures my heart. I wish you could have joined me at the Brisbane vintage Fashion Fair today....so many maxi's that had your name on them. Xx
If you had photos of yourself in sequence and got us to scroll fast, we could watch you grooving to that excellent video! After all, that's such a groove-tastic outfit - I love your hat! Sounds like you have a great weekend lined up.
Beautiful hat! I love Adam Ants music and your dress :)
I am SO jealous of your hat - I've wanted a floppy 70's hat for the longest time! Also love your lovely maxi dress. Sounds like you're going to have an amazing weekend with your friend, I can't wait to see what you find whilst shopping:)
You must find more hats! I like the outfit without the hat, but with the hat, I LOVE it.
Not enough PTA volunteers at our school either, people are either to shy or too busy doing housework (idiots).
You're so funny Curtise, I think you should have an alternative fashion column in a magazine.
It's a delightful hat. Have fun pissing...during this outing. May you find many more treasures.
Florals on a black background is the only wAy i like florals, and i love love love that frock. Hurrah for housework avoidance and charity shopping!
The first time I heard this song was the day we got our beautiful Welsh Springer Spaniel called Owen. I was 14 at the time.
Love the hat. Love the dress. You look very 70's CHIC. How fun! I also like the idea that if I wait long enough, what I want WILL show up at these shops!
The hat the hat oh Curtise you have achieved a whole new level of I LOOK GOOD with the hat :) It's more like your sexy and you know it! I love the shape of the hat too! You do sound busy and happy and that's always good. Have fun out with Patsy I wish you luck on thrifting!!!
XOXOX~
