I'm writing this a few weeks late now as I've had a lot of nonsense go down in my personal life but here we go! Ahhhh what a great weekend this was. I decided to pop on my yellow Pinup Girl Clothing 'Harley' dress as it had been a good while since I last wore it. This dress is an absolute dream; the neckline is gorgeous and the dress flows out into a full gathered skirt so beautifully. I could have given it a good iron like any decent pin up would but I didn't have the time and honestly, I'm just rubbish at ironing.
Despite the weather being a bit iffy recently, I threw caution to the wind and headed out the door on the Sunday morning without a coat. Along with my parents who have become avid vintage fans like myself, we drove down to the Cutty Sark Gardens in Greenwich where a vintage fair was on.
On one of the vintage furniture stalls, I found this stunning flamingo cabinet. I know it's a little tacky but I fell in love with it so much. However, at around £250, it really wasn't going anywhere with me.
Unfortunately, I did feel that the fair was lacking in an amount of stalls but there was a nice mix between vintage clothing, home ware, accessories, luggage and even some reproduction clothing. so you weren't too hard up for choice.
On the Cutty Sark Gardens itself, there were free taster dancing lessons on throughout the day. I even got pulled into one myself by a lovely guy and it was so much fun being thrown around (sort of as I tried to keep my modesty from showing as my skirt blew up) and it really made me want to try dancing some more. We moved on from the Gardens and made our way to Greenwich market where there were more vintage and art stalls to enjoy. We had a little wander around all the stalls, took in the smell of the lovely food stalls and contemplated spending far too much money on brooches. Thankfully I resisted!
Overall, it was a lovely morning spent in Greenwich. I only wish there were more stalls and the weather was better so there may have been a bigger turn out. I only look forward to going to more vintage fairs in the future.
Looks like a great day and the Harley looks phenomenal on you. That colour!
