Vintage clothes

[Ally]

There's a fab little vintage clothes shop tucked away neatly very near Malaga bus station.

Don wanted to go in yesterday - so we did.

He bought nothing.

I got 2 fab dresses.

One is a simple sleeveless shift dress, 60's style, pale blue with two pockets on the front. €7.

The other is a sleeveless aztec stretchy fitted number. €4.90.

Bargain!

Wow they certainly were I have a stretchy aztec one with little capped sleeves, it looked ok last summer but this year it's just a bit too stretched, unless I wear a jacket over it Will look amazing on you

I've either got to seriously tackle my weight or buy a flowery tent

I have an aztec dress which I wore last year on holiday. I took it with me this year but when I tried it on it went straight back in the wardrobe and came home unworn. I looked like a sausage.

You got good bargains there Ally. I'm sure they will be lovely on you.

I must tell you about my best bargain ever in the world.

About 3 years ago I was in C&A (not sure if they're still around in the UK?)

I found a black stretchy dress with what looks like Polo Mints all over it - I fell in love with it on sight.

It was reduced to 4 euros!!

A couple of days later I went back into C&A with Don and the dress was reduced further to €1.79!!!

So I just bought it thinking if anything ever happens to the first one I have back up.

It's/they are still one of my favourite dresses.

Now that WAS a bargain.

How I wish I'd bought two of those Biba cardis all those years ago
No, C&A have long gone here - we saw one in Tavira but didn't go in (it was the day we walked there, we needed beer not shopping!)

Your buys sound lovely, didn't you get something there before?

[Ally]

:lol:

I'd never visited this shop before Di - last year I stumbled across a vintage shop up near the Rosaleda (Malaga's footy ground) and that's where I bought a cream lace dress and a dress with 50's style ladies on it.
Both were 12 euros each.

I've been googling and found another vintage shop about 15 mins from Malaga centre..that'll be getting a visit from me soon.

What were the Biba cardigans like?

[Diflower]

Ah that must have been it - ooh yes, have a go at all of them

It was patchwork Ally, lots and lots of different colours in little squares, most of them mottled/mixed colours - I remember lots of purple, orange, red...
Very plain design, just a v-neck and long sleeves, but quite thin, and with all those colours went with everything
One of those things, I didn't know when I bought it just how much I'd wear it

[Kaz]

Biba is back in House of Fraser I got a scarf there, it was all I could afford

Ally I used to love C&A, me and my schoolfriends used to get the 203 bus to Hounslow on Saturdays and C&A was always on the agenda

That cardi sounds lovely Di...don't suppose there's a photo of it?

Kaz - mum makes a beeline for C&A when she comes over here.
