3rd Train Strike
Missed Sociology
Got 2 Birthday cards.(it's still not my birthday yet!!)
One off Auntie M (the mother of my cousin CK, he who provided me with all the games over here at Christmas) & one off a neighbour
Also a pair of earrings & £5.00 off Kate's dad
Phoned Sam & Fi
Got a Student Rail Card for £7.00
Playing netball against Christ the King tomorrow (no not THE Christ the King ... a school called that name lol)
I love fashion (hey I am female) & the history of fashion so when I came across this little, yet very thick, book last year for £1 in a cheap shop I knew I had captured a bargain.
It has brilliant photos from 1900 - 1990s fashion. These are a few of the ones pre 1970s
not sure this lady is a 'lady' btw 
Oh and this one C1995... a wooden corset? (maybe Penfold could emulate this with his plane) I have rooted out some 70s haute couture as this is 70sland
& these were Air Stewardesses on Southwest Airlines, Texas in 1972 serving cocktails such as Passion Punch & Love Potion
Just into the 70s with this look called the 'garnny look' Oh come on who wants to look like your granny (Miss Selfridges maxi dress in black, brown, purple and black £11.00)
1973 'wide beach pyjamas and shoulders of the 30s' those feathers would definitely get in the way!!
1973 'coffee coloured knickerbockers with a peplum bib top' .... no way you could go to the supermarket dressed in these !!!
From Nina Ricci's Autumn /Winter collection in fuchsia pink with just a hint of shimmering sequin boob tube = £550 ( was earning £4.00 a day as a Saturday gal)
A more affordable Mary Quant fluid boob tube dress 'Shoe-fly-pie' ? £38.90
Mustn't forget the shoes!!
