I'm pretty fecking stoked with this late 60's/early 70's frock I picked up at my local St Vincent de Paul the other week.
Not only is it the loudest shade of pink, but that ripply bit down the side makes me feel fabularsely swishy!
And it fits like a dream.
Flange were asked to play at a party on Saturday, so I thought it would be a perfect frock for a spot of rock and rolling.....alas, we did not play, as there were all sorts of complaints before we even got there.
C'est la vie.
I imbibed a great many cocktails instead.
The earrings were a gift from my scrumptious sistercousinwifey Sarah (37 sleeps!), the beads opshopped, the sunglasses from Catch a Thief.
I made the bow, the 60's Rex handbag came via a friend, and the sandals were from Trade Me for a fiver.
That's our vege garden behind me, to the right!!!!
I'm amazed we've managed it!
I've just planted leeks, dwarf beans and some more spinach. In heels.
(Really! They're all muddy and need a clean now. They looked pretty odd with my gardening gloves, I suppose. Ugh, I can't bear dirt under my fingernails!!!))
I've got mint and basil in pots...need more herbs! And the mint needs to go into something bigger.

Feck me, that is one fantastic frock! It certainly does fit you and the girls like dream and that shade of pink is quite insane. Not menopausal are you, love?
I'm well impressed with the veg garden, deffo puts our feeble attempts to shame. Bet you've got some whopping courgettes!
Love you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I just KNEW that dress was going to be beautiful on you, and of course I was RIGHT! Sorry, I'm shouting, but you look very, very HOT! The cascade-y frilly bit is so gorgeous, you look like a goddess. A goddess planting her herbs in heels while drinking cocktails, perfect!
Bummer about not being able to play, what were people complaining about? Oh well, slurping down a few drinkies was some consolation, I suppose...
Lovey love you! xxxx
That Vix, she snuck in front of me, I was convinced I was going to be first! xxxx
The dress is divine, shame you didn't get to rock out in it! Jealous of your lovely vegetable patch, our garden is in dire need of love and care xxx
Loving the pink dress, so elegant and flowy but the colour makes it zing. Almost makes me wish I hadn't chucked out my neon pink dress from the 80s! But it was a sack in comparison.
Fantastic !

Well done on the vegetable garden and gardeningin heels! I bet you even have stylish gardening gloves and if not, why? That dress was made for you, you sexilicious wench!!!
You've managed to make pink look even pinker! Gorgeous and bad-ass. Love the white purse (and clean finger nails) and that garden looks divine! Congrats on your green, blooming thumbs.
You rock that dress! I sure hope it gets another outing soon, not that it doesn't look great in your garden Up here in the northern hemisphere, I'm just starting to dream of what to plant this year....
Gorgeous! the dress fits perfectly and is dreamy on you, shame about not playing but I'm glad you got to have lots of cocktails, it's the appropriate drink for such a fancy frock!! I love you garden in heels! we are trying some form of gardening this year, probably in baskets as the rabbits eat/destroy everything x x x
You look fab. Great to see the local Vinnies came through.
Very pretty with frill and all. It's a,ways a delight when a piece fits like a dream. Rather jealous of your veggie patch. The only thing doing well in ours at the moment is basil. I really should do a huge batch of pesto.
You are the Goddess of Gardening in that fantastic frock!!
I love the cascade of ruffle down the side!!
What a stunning frock, such a shame it's pink ;-P
The veggie patch looks fab, oh how I wish I could get out into my garden but it is a quagmire right now.
I love gardening in theory ... in practise there is just too much dirt and worms and things that creep and crawl!
I love the dress ... makes me think of an early seventies bridesmaid. You just need a hat, some gloves and a basket of flowers.

Wooooouuuu, Hot Hot Pink swooshing dress!!, and it fits you like a dream and has a lateral flounce!!, Fabulousness!!!!
besos & Color!!
Baby! That is one hot frock! And it really does fit like a glove. Lucky you! So unique with the frill down the side. The thrifting God were smiling on you that day my friend : )

Wowser! That is such a spectacular frock and you look just scrumptious! Your garden looks very impressive, and created in heels no less...I had a little veggie garden once in an ex-boyfriend's backyard and I remember being so thrilled when stuff grew and we could eat it ;)
Wow, that's a stunning dress! Frock me, what a colour.
I got a giggle out of your post title. I recognize a lot of the song lyrics that you use, and this is one of my favourite Bon Scott-era AC/DC songs. Tee hee!
you look like a really lady in the frock!
Holy frigging enormous cactus plant! How tall is that thing? Oh, and your outfit, right. You look like 70's strawberries and cream :) x
I can just imagine you doing the gardening in your heels. That frock is fabulous. The swishy bit just makes it.
That dress is a real find! Love.
I say it again...that must be terribly fun and swishy when you walk. Such a dramatic dress on you, you must have turned some heads!

P.S- I love those lashes on you.
LOVE the dress - the shape, colour, the draping - all of it!

Piękna sukienka:)))wyglądasz jak królowa:)))Pozdrawiam serdecznie:))
That dress your garden the dress your garden, shit it's all too much! I knew this dress would cause me to think of all the ways I could get it from you but after seeing you wear it I would not want it on anyone else EVER! You are a goddess and the thought of you singing in it, well MOIST, deck that we are talking a river my dear!
The garden blows me away. I did it for two years and found it to be too much work but I love gardening to no end, keeps me grounded and makes me feel all earthy and shit :)
LOVE YOU!
XXOOOO

That dress is absolutely gorgeous! And you look a total delight in it. Your yard looks so nice and green. I can't wait till our grass turns green it still has some ice on it. lol
Yes, you are, fabulously stylish lady and then some! This dress is magnificent. It hugs and flatters your womanly shape so marvelously, and is really the kind of dress one just does not forget when they see (because it's so magnificent!).

You are right to be excited by that dress, you look as hot as a hot thing in it! It is SO sophisticated and stylish and it fits your gorgeous bod to perfection. Bet The Hand kept going in and getting a bit of Oi action for its trouble!! Shame about the non gig, but oh result! on the cocktails, and that is the PERFECT dress for drinkie poos!
I'm right with you on the veg garden thing, it is just so exciting to pick your own. I always feel inordinately pleased with myself and say so repeatedly. I think Q slips into a coma after the first five times! Xxxxxxx
YAY you're wearing that dress!! I love it!
Gorgeous piece in beautiful condition, very lucky score indeed!
You are nothing less than regal in that lovely gown -- ah, that classic drapery fold with the classy upsweep! Complaints, indeed? One hopes you looked over your specs and down your nose at the clueless clods, whoever they were.
God, what a dress!
