| This shot's a bit pensive isn't it? |
Today I got to wear a NEW frock, and yes I know frocktober is not about buying new frocks it's about wearing frocks you already have. However I got this frock at the rummage on Saturday. It's abeautiful deep blue with lovel button detailing on the sleeves (which I of course forgot to photograph).
It's a wrap dress with what becomes a sweetheart neckline and some lovely gathers on the shoulders which give it a distinctly 40's feel (to me anyway). I accesorised it with the hideous $4 pantyhose; which are lasting a little too well, and my high-heeled brogues (and yes, I know that traditional brogues are brown but traditional brogues also don't have high heels).

| Nanna's brooch |
My jewellery today is the reason for this post's title. I wore my Grandmothers anique locket again and this time I added this little treasure from my Nanna. A beautiful costume piece. My grandfather firmly beleived that a woman could never have too much jewellery and he bought my Nanna some beautiful pieces, costume and genuine, I'm not sure if this is one of them but I like to think it is.

| A little parcel of divinity |
With such beautiful jewellery and a new frock the day coud not go badly and then this arrived! A parcel from 'What Katie Did' my vintage reproduction lingerie had arrived! Because I am a three year old and I can't wait until get home I had to open it at work. Untying the ribbon and unwrapping the crinkling tissue paper made me smile. The pieces inside were even more beatiful than I thought they'd be! Stay tuned for a post on the importance of proper undergarments! Complete with photographs.
