I found this little jacket at Value City Savers in Preston, but before I remove the biggest shoulder pads I have ever seen in my life, I thought I would play dress ups first.
I haven’t really presented a retro look for a while, not because I don’t dress like this but mainly because I thought for a while I might be pigeon-holed if I only ever dressed like this. Plus someone told me it made me look old. Hilarious!
I don’t like to take myself too seriously anyhow, so this is Lady Melbourne come 1940’s come Dolly Parton for your Wednesday afternoon viewing pleasure.
If you think the shoulders should stay(sooooo on trend) then let me know, I’m inclined to take them out.
Edit: The darling Vintage Verve just suggested on twitter that it’s more Alexis Carrington than Parton. Made my day!!
