1970's Corporate with bonus corgi bum

I've found that the style of the clothing I have in my wardrobe has been expanding lately. I discovered Dangerfield - a retro-inspired hipster sort of shop recently and I've bought a few of their pieces. The styles I've gotten have leaned more towards the 70's than my more regular 50's look and I must say, it really throws people! I wore the Lena Floral Tea Dress today and although it was not the first time I wore the dress to work, I still received many comments about how different it was to my regular style.


I didn't really think I had a regular style but to be fair, to most people Lolita and 50's retro and Victorian gothic probably all look similar. Close enough anyway to be lumped into one category. And this dress is a very different style to those. One nurse described me as looking very 'corporate'. It must have been the collar because I doubt many corporate types wear Horror Lolita shoes to work...

Everyone said they liked the dress though so different or not, I'm happy it still looked okay.

I'm not one hundred percent sure if my posts will be very regular in the next week or two. Molly (the rest of the corgi that belongs to the bum in the bottom left of the photo) has been declining lately. That horrible decision may be just around the corner and the last thing I'll feel like doing is posting about trivial stuff like fashion. I'll keep my fingers crossed that her good days continue to outweigh the bad but she's 16 with a mountain of health issues so that day can't be too far off :(
