Rainy Saturday Outfit 2 Of The Day At Circus Fest

I have just returned from a very wet and windy journey home, after visiting Professor Vanessa's Wonder Show, part of Circus Fest held at the Roundhouse in Camden. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but I had a fab time! The whole show is set around old style sideshows, such as "The Girl in the Fishbowl"(hilarious), "The Butterfly Girl" (weird), "The Mummy" (as Georgia said: "It's not a show until a small child cries") and so forth. These side shows were placed around a centre stage, which had regular acts itself, from aerial artists to what can only be described as bug acrobatics. Yes, thats people dressed as bugs being acrobatic. Rather weird, but definitely wonderful!

As I knew I'd be going out tonight, I decided, in my usual post-challenge ways, that I should just buy a new outfit (much to the man flesh's disapproval). So here's the beauty:

Unfortunately, you can't see the true beauty of the skirt (which cost me a fortune I can't REALLY justify), but it has a big black satin bow just below the bum, and some roushing (I'm really not entirely sure thats even a word), leading to a fishtail, which has a very light pink colour on the inside, courtesy of FairyGothmother. This I teamed with a Buttoned Blazer from Collectif, a plain strappy top, some lovely black wedges with pink flowers from Dolly Dare (more on those later), a black bandana, and a Dolly Cool necklace I got from RetroDec, one of my new favourite shops ( post on this also to follow, most likely tomorrow).

I LOVE the skirt!!!

My Post-Challenge Wishlist! Part 3

This simply has to be my last wish list post, at least for now! There are too many pretty, adorable, exciting things I want in my life, but this will be the last one for the time being.

Every so often, I see someone wearing an amazing dress, just to be told its a Bettie Page dress, which, as far as I'm aware are not stocked over here. But, I have no concerns, a stateside visit is hopefully in the pipeline, and I am sure to include a visit to a Bettie Page Clothing store. Too many good things heard, and too many nice dresses seen not to!

Like this simple beauty, called "Shopping Time", I'm already counting my cents for this one, $102 and it shall be mine!

And, as I am very greedy, I also want this Sierra dress ($120), I have the feeling I will be taken many an empty bag across the pond, just to return with excess luggage a-plenty. Before I know it, my wardrobe will be back to full capacity (and I have only just designated a whole pile of clothes to be gotten rid of), and another challenge will have to be undertaken. I feel sorry for the man flesh, at least I will always be impeccably dressed :)





The lovely Nicky from @vibrant_vintage recently pointed me in the direction of Freddie's Of Pinewood, after I was checking out her jeans, and they too have too many things I like...damn them! :)

I actually wish I had found these jeans during the winter, my usual 3/4 lengths were unfortunately not as great as usual, no one like cold calves! £50 would've saved me a lot of goosebumps, and the green striped Rebecca Top (£28.00 sold! to me!) will give them enough of a nautical feel to be right at home in the Sefkerinio household. Oh, how are the 26 days not over yet, I MUST shop!

...and one final one...

I found this at Fairygothmother, and its adorable, just right for the lovely sunshine at the moment. The man flesh didn't love this one as much as me, but with a different coloured petticoat even he will (I don't do pink - and yes, I realise the flowers are pink).

I really REALLY am going to stop now, I already have itchy fingers, and my wallet is looking scared!
