But it is a great confidence booster and it served me well at the start of the Down Memory Lane
fashion show on Saturday afternoon. The vintage lover in the picture is Nicky Nel, an ex-student from
my PET days.
I teamed my black coktail dress with a golden tafetta opera coat from the fifties (I acquired it in the seventies), red leather lace-ups bought at a church basaar for the price of a loaf of bread and red gloves sourced from a Newton Park charity shop. My long Lanvin silk scarf was tied in a bow to keep the winter chill at bay, but in summer it just flows ...
Forgot to mention the specs ... love the frame and the colour. Can't wait to have my own prescription lenses fitted.
