Things I Love - May!!
Hey guys!!
Yes I'm back again!!
This isn't the post I was planning on
doing today, but for some reason Blogspot won't let me upload my pictures!!
So I am here with a post (that I
almost forgot about) and that is - 'Things I Love!!'
How amazing are these!!
I know I probably spend all my time
talking about these beauties, but I think it might be true love...ok maybe not
(my JC's are my love). It's just one of those instances when you have wanted
something for so long and when you get it, you just want to show it to
everyone. I have been after a pair of dungarees for such a long time and by a long
time, I mean since they've come back in to fashion. (Yes I'm a dedicated
follower of fashion - no don't judge me!!) Now let me take you back at least 10
years (I think more); I was young, in Primary school and spent all my time
wearing my favourite pair of full dungarees. I believe they were from a cheap
store up the high street and only cost small change; but I absolutely loved
them and wore them everywhere. On occasion I would swap them for a pair of
light wash dungarees; with denim flowers stitched sparingly over them (Charlie
had a matching pair). I lived in dungarees during my childhood and I almost
forgot how fun they were. So when I found out that dungarees were back in fashion,
I knew I had to get in on the action. I wasn't sure whether I wanted long or
short dungarees; but as I suit playsuits rather then jumpsuits I decided on
short. I started my hunt by looking on the high street. From Topshop to NewLook I was at a lost and couldn't find a pair that really stood out for me. I
decided perhaps a vintage pair would be the way forward, the only trouble with
that is - the price. I started looked at all the vintage shops that I knew had
a website, for example Rokit and Beyond Retro but no luck. I knew the only way
forward would be to go out shopping and try them on. Around about this time I
had my accident at work, so shopping was out of the question and I was getting
impatient. One day I was on the internet (as you do) and I suddenly thought of
ASOS Marketplace. The fact that this shopping Mecca had not entered my mind actually
confused me, so without thinking twice I googled the website. I typed in
dungarees and as if by magic various arrays of dungarees appeared before my eyes.
A few caught my eye but after comparing and contrasting, I decided on this pair
and hoped they fit. Two days later the postman interrupted my phone call, made
me hurt my foot (even more) and handed me a parcel of hopes and dreams. When I
got them out I couldn't believe how amazing they were and I was glad the denim
was darker in person. I was on a high from the arrival of them, so when I tried
them on and they fitted I was even more excited. I think the best part of
finding these, ordering them, receiving them and finding out they fit is simply
- the price. Yes these little vintage beauties were a mere £12! Yes £12!
Although together with P&P they were £16, I still think that's an absolute
bargain for these. If you don't already have a pair of dungarees, then do go
and purchase a pair. Don't worry whether they're common or too on trend for
you, if you like them then why not treat yourself.
Don't forget - consider all the
options!
You never know where you'll find the
hidden treasure...
