I bought this fabulous Indian tapestry skirt last year but I haven't worn it until today.

| Vintage 60s Indian tapestry wrap maxi skirt, 80s belt, 90s floral lace leotard, African necklace, 70s velvet artists beret & gloves |
The pattern is absolutely stunning and when I freed the skirt from the back of my wardrobe this morning it made me think the Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur...
Such a magical place, we sat there for ages just gazing up at the ceiling.
I've decided to call this skirt my 'temple skirt' cause I think it's rather magical too.
Other news today ;)
Leslie was kind enough to offer me a spot at next Saturday's market at 'The Oxford' in Kentish Town so I'll be there selling an array of fabulous vintage attire.
I will do a sneak-peek preview on Thursday, so that you can see what I'll be bringing with me on the day :)
The March edition of The Dandy Lion Market is dedicated to women, girls and mothers.
The event is a get together with Oxfam to celebrate International Women's Day and to help raise funds to support women living in poverty around the world.
Sellers will contribute with a percentage of their takings and there will also be a very special tombola and I will be donating something awesome to that too ;)
Before I sign off can I just say that I've really enjoyed all the comments that you wonderful peeps have been leaving, it is really exciting to read your stories and personal takes on the questions I pose.
Thank you for taking the time, it really means a lot to me :)
Lot's of love,
Jennie

Wow that is a beautiful skirt and that building was amazing...need to come to a sale soon!!
I like the idea of naming items of clothing - just read up on your post about the jumble sale and I hope you had a good time. I know what you mean about the weird ass personality paradox thing. OMG I love that colour purple in your previous post and you have purple velvet gloves too!
The temple skirt is so fantastic, very mystical and magical, and the temple you visited looks very beautiful. So funny how we hold on to some items for so long before we wear them. I love it with the black lace top and purple gloves. Perfect mesh of different textures, colors, patterns-- my favorite kind of mix. So cool to work the markets and participate in International Women's Day. Love it.

Danger, indeed. Love the outfit and I want the hat. Oh, wait, I'll make one.
Strawberry Alarm Clock? Why not?
Such a beautiful skirt - it looks really warm too. I'm pretty sure I've been to that temple in KL as well and it was absolutely amazing. Have a good week xoxo
i had a lot of catching up to do i missed a lot of your posts. your stall looks inviting if i was in london i would visit to all the events. the temple is amazing. i'm going to explore it on my lunch break. best of all is your skirt. great posts good luck with your stall love lucyx
Superb skirt, the colour and the texture are so rich.
Oh, the skirt is so beautiful! And in combination with this lacy top and gloves - you look fabulous. Indian temples always impress me: with the size, or with colourful sculptures inside, or with special atmosphere or with something else...
I believe you to be magical. Thank you for sharing your smouldering gaze and authentic gorgeous self with us. I love your skirt, and the association you made with it. And man, you can rock a maxi like a magician. Have a great and successful market!
You know how I feel about skirts, and you are wearing an exotic dream, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Fabulous skirt and love the pictures of the temple, I would love to go there one day. Good luck at the market, you'll be brilliant x
That is a really beautiful skirt, and it's good to know someone else names their clothes as well! Well done on your first stall, how great to meet Sara, and good luck with the Dandy Lion market - sounds fun, and an excellent cause too. xxxx
That skirt is really stunning, the pattern is glorious and it looks really dramatic on you...also absolutely love the 70s beret, it looks great. Have a wonderful time on Saturday to, eventually. I'll have enough money to visit London again
I know that temple and your beautiful skirt is a fabulous match! I love it and the beret looks gorgeous on you!
Yay for more vintage fairs. Have a brilliant time and sell even more! xxx
