The Green Skirt that wasn't meant to be . . .

OK so I should be knuckling down and writing the literature review for my assignment but I am writing this instead because I have to get something off my chest . . .

Anyone who knows me can tell you I love the colour green and knee length swooshy skirts. I love other things too but they aren't relevant here.

Today I went to the vintage flea in the custard factory with Sara from Birdie Blue and within two minutes Sara spotted a girl holding a pleated bottle green skirt - so me. Like I say anyone who knows me can tell you . . .



I spend the next 10 minutes hovering like a mad stalker sending mental thoughts to PUT THE SKIRT DOWN but alas she bought it. I then pinned her to the ground whilst Sara grabbed the skirt and we did a runner  mooched around and snapped up 3 vintage egg blue suitcases for £14. Which incidentally someone inquired about just after I had bought them. What goes around comes around . . . perhaps said people are venting on there very own blog right now about losing out on some super vintage suitcases . . .

Has anything like this happened to you? what's your biggest non-purchase?


Yep very materialistic and shallow and I need to get a grip. Will post pictures of the suitcases soon. They are in the boot of my car and it's raining here so it will have to wait. Instead have a look at some other vintage suitcases being put to good use.
