Another weekend, another excuse to dress up. The Goodwood Revival Revival is the perfect place to don my 1950's tailored suit from Stanley A. Chatt of Bridport.
The racing was exciting, the weather forecast for most of the time was kind and the people watching was fascinating.

Last night was the perfect evening to go and spend my competition voucher, proof that real people actually win competitions! What a heavenly spot to go and indulge yourself. The outside seating area catches the late sun so lolling back with a glass of .estate fine English fizz we were in our element. The restaurant has a really laid back vibe and we plumped for the chef's special menu, all utterly delicious. Sadly we didn't stay, (it's 10 mins from Bridport) but it was a wonderful treat. Check it out , you'll get a really warm welcome.

I had forgotten the fun to be had from dressing up.When I had the shop no excuse was needed, anything went which is one of the reasons Bridport has such an appeal. If you can handle people giving you admiring glances, total strangers stopping you in the street and your photograph being taken then you'll get the buzz. We're on a roll really as this weekend it's Goodwood Revival and depending on the weather it's either a one off sample Donald Campbell number or a 50's locally tailored suit. I guess it helps having like minded husbands who effortlessly cut a dash!

Turning heads in South Street, quite possibly the prettiest blossom tree here in our churchyard. Although I have to add, it would be appreciated if you picked up your dog mess. This mornings crap was unacceptable. This beautiful space should be clean and safe for everyone of all ages to enjoy.

South Street, Bridport, Dorset, where I'm blessed to call home. It's easy to criticise, to find fault in your surroundings as I noticed someone doing recently online.With the bombardment of social media, you could be forgiven for thinking that unless you were constantly on the move, you're somehow missing out on life. Well, Bridport is looking beautiful this week as spring emerges, and I, for one, am soaking up it's beauty and thanking my lucky stars life guided me here. Since finally retiring from the shop, I've been able to put life on pause, which must surely be one of life's biggest luxuries. But you know how it is the thought of a little market stall, the lure of a little spring pop up is never far from my mind so bear with me whilst I indulge myself awhile longer, I haven't disappeared completely...

Unbelievably, there are still people out there that wouldn't dream of considering preloved clothes for their wardrobe. It's a 'certain type' of person, ill-informed and still considering second hand, i.e., other people's clothing as beneath them, shuddering at the thought of whom they may have belonged to. It doesn't occur to them that buying second hand keeps clothing from ending up in unnecessary landfill. Buying fast fashion from charity shops etc however is just ensuring it continues to be churned out.
I'm not saying, "Never buy new I'm suggesting that people dip their toes into the vast lake of preloved.
I've included pictures today of pieces that I consider 'safe and staple' made from natural fibres and stylish enough to hang in someone's wardrobe awhile longer.
Appealing to a 'certain type'
Could this be an older family member or friend of yours? If so, enlighten them please!

A few kind people have remarked that they are missing the shop (and me) but fear not I'm not disappearing!
I feel as busy as ever sourcing and collating mainly classics that truly stand the test of time.
Amongst my current collection is a timeless Burberry vintage double-breasted trench coat with detachable wool lining. Another beauty is a Daks of London lined linen suit, suits being on the list of comebacks as people return to the office.

If you mean business, then dress like you do!

Fast fashion has no place in the wardrobe of anybody frankly.

Both items size 14, dm for price and more details.
