The weather here in Ol' Blighty has been pretty friggning dreadful for weeks now.
The sweet fragrance of lilacs that usually fill the warm spring air on our balcony have been overpowered by the dodgy smell coming from a clogged drainpipe next door.
Our drainpipe kamikazeed off the wall during a ferocious rainstorm last week, so now when it rains we have a waterfall display from the roof onto the balcony & into the kitchen if you happen to leave the door open.
Och, grumble grumble!
Despite it being a dreich and grey morning, I still braved an excursion to the car boot sales yesterday and I am very happy that I did cause came back with vintage dress treasures galore, every cloud has a silver lining as they say!
Last night I spent taking pics for my upcoming eBay auctions and today I played dress-up with all my new purchases :)
Besides frocks I bought a stunning gothic maxi skirt that I wore today.
Opening the curtains this morning and peering out onto yet another day of dreichness made me feel decidedly morose, so I decided to wear something to mourn spring...

You look so sultry and dark and dare I say demonic. No not demonic, but if I passed by your balcony and saw you I would want you to be throwing red roses! I love all your different looks and I'm sure different personalities for each. Wishing you a Spring already :)

Wow, the goth outfit is awesome. I just love the idea of layering the textures and the cape made from a skirt!!
I think this may be one of my favourite outfits of yours, ever!
Oh I just LOVE this fab outfit - the skirt! The headpiece! And I will never tire of your balcony location - I love it.

Dear Jennie,
I love your goth look, your eyes look so incredibly blue and beautiful with the dark wig. It's such a struggle to wear bright colours when the weather's so bleak.
What a bummer about the drainpipe. We lost two trees in last week's storms, it must have been a right humdinger of a wind.
Can't wait to see your other car boot finds. The forecast's appalling for the Midlands so I'll have to live vicariously through your finds in the absence of any boot sales around here. xxxx
Amor,
You look sensational in Gothic outfit. love your hair in dark shades.
That headpiece is gorgeous.
eyeing that red 60's dress ,but I think it is a tad small for me.
You lucky biatch! boot sales have been sucking for me have not found any frocks.
Besios
You look bloody gorgeous.
I know, this weather is pants. I can smell stuff rotting before it's even flowered. I'm glad you're having boot sale luck....ours have been rained off for weeks.
xxxxxxx
