Let the tour commence....

Hi there, howdy, hello and welcome to the start of my vintage ambition tour. I love clothes and the whole circus of putting an outfit together but recently, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to find inspiration in the shops. In the past, I could shop for Scotland (and probably the rest of the UK as well) but I found I was coming home with a full purse and empty bags. Great for my bank-balance but not so great for my clothing habit.

I've always said I was born at the wrong time as my tastes are stuck firmly in the first half of the last century. Then epiphany struck - why moan about modern fashion when there is a world of vintage fashion out there waiting to be loved again? I've always had a few vintage pieces lingering in the wardrobe but never quite had the guts to wear them. Or possibly too much guts; the other problem is that my dimensions are not quite those of the average 40's gal about town.

I'll give you the clothes, the music, the tears of frustration as that zip just won't do up! Join me in my quest to find the ultimate vintage wardrobe.....
