#62 Dotty P's, A selection of style.

We love Dotty P's x

Add a smart pencil skirt, black  silk scarf and some sensible court shoes and this flamingo jumper would make any teatime swing!

Only £28











Sexy, sophisticated and Elegant. Add a big floppy, wide brimmed Fedora and wedged healed espadrilles and you would be the very essence of vintage.

Playsuit Only £35
This sexy, figure skimming outfit, topped with some seamed black stockings, heals and a pearl choker and bracelet... Wowza!
You could, for a splash of extra special glam add some shoulder detail, for example, How about this from Sookie.co.uk?  And at 2 for only £18... It would really look great!

Cocktail dress £30

Such sweet detail, add a pair of little white cloves and a daring hat like this one from Missy Lils  and you'd be ready for Ascot!

Lace Dress £40













This bird print dress is just darling! A pony tail, some ballet slipper pumps and a cardigan casually wrapped around your shoulders and they'd be clambering to carry your books home from school!

Bird Print Dress only £39.50!

#61 Ready to hit the beach

#61a Lovely number with a very
        modest panty line!
        £39.50  from M&S





                   



              #61b  This pretty flower    detailed cossy
         is from Floozie at Debenhams at £38











#61c And look what Topshop has to offer... I think my nanny had this suit!
        Only £34!!!





                 

                                                                   

               #61d It's red, it's polka, it's lovely!
       £38 from Debenhams








#61e You can buy these as a suit or as separates for £12 each (Sadly no discount if you buy both!)
TopShop £24

#60 Perfect for summer

These shoes are a must for summer! Together with the wonderful detailing on the toe, the jute detailing was a huge statement in the 40's,.Espadrilles became fashionable in USA in the 1940s. Lauren Bacall's character in the 1948 movie "Key Largo" wore ankle-laced ones, not too dissimilar to these..


From The Gap US at a pre postage price of $59.95 (about £37)

#59 Drape to success

The 50's were all about the drape. This sweetheart adds a modern twist to the classic drape but with a bit of tweaking and some court shoes and of course a hat and you have a killer look!

Top Shop £39

#58 What a neck!

This has the iconic 1940's neckline with the rouching detail.

And believe me it looks great on!!!

TopShop £70

#57 Geometric and Classic

This glamorous dress shouts futuristic 70's couture with a spark of 1930's glamour. I also have a feeling that if the ever lovely Marilyn Monroe was alive today, she would get the chills at this geometric, sheer dress... Some Like it Hot!

Add a fox fur stole and suede heals and you have such an amazing, show stopping outfit!

Not cheap at £185 from TopShop but a dress with that much going on has to cost something...

#56 The Ice Follies

They call this a skater dress, I say add a white fur muff and cape and some boots, top it off with a fur hat and you have yourself a lovely ice skater dress! Why not top if off with a white version of this hat by Missy Lils

TopShop £38

#55 Wowza! 30's glam...

This shreeks 1930's glamour with 60's/70's overtones.

Stunning

It has a nice pricetag but would be worth it to stand out at a party or a wedding.

Mango £79.99

#54 Here comes the sun dar de dar dar....

How gorgeous? OK your going to have to search for these but I recently saw a Juicy Couture pair very similar to this in TKMaxx for only £39.99.

These pretty flowery glasses retail for $120 (about £76) but keep an eye out... Or two!





For a mere £62, these 1950's inspired sweethearts would look so great with a beehive and a pill box hat!






And then there are these! How adorable are these?
Again Juicy Couture, again not cheap at £76, again not easy to find, but wow... When you do!!!










More in my budget are these fantastic 50's inspired glasses from TopShop for a mere £16!





Fab-u-lous! Top shop £18 ONLY!!! Run, run to Topshop Now!!!






Go on... Treat yourself! These Prada glases are £215 and can be found in Vision Express...



And finally, these lovely vintage inspired glasses that have such a classic style they would look great with most eras! And at a snip at £15 from Accessorize.
