'Glam Nan' Goes Military?

Fashion, a general term for a currently popular style or practice, especially in clothing.

So why is fashion taking over? Why do you want to wear the same dress as your great auntie? What's all this vintage about? And what's the next new thing?

Well, I personally like making myself into a 'Glam Nan' !
There's nothing wrong with wearing the same clothes your nan might go to the bingo wearing right? I love the whole style of the 1950's, the dresses, the hair, the shoes, the cars, the de-core everything just completely captures my imagination. The 1950's tea dress is back in fashion and I love it,  high street shops are full of cute patterned tea dresses that go dashingly with a nice pair of flat boots or court shoes if you want to make the effort. New look, Primark, Miss Selfridge's and River Island all stock this type of dress new look has such a cute selection with patterns from hearts and anchors to snow flakes and polka dots.

I'm very much into tea dresses, long tailored Mac coats and vintage style clothing, not just from the late 50's but clothing from the 60's 70's and 80's such as  Denim Hippy Waistcoats, Long Patterned Jumper Dresses, Leather Skirts, Denim Skirts, Shoulder Pads with Embellishment and not to forget the Classic Denim Shirts but now the fashion is changing yet again for yet another season and me being a short, stumpy girl I can't see 'The New Thing' suiting me personally.





You know what I'm talking about MILITARY STYLE.  The beige, greens, caramels, browns and nude just are not for me, I'm too pale, too stodgy and too small to pull off any type of  Harem trousers, see through nude tops or any riding boots. I'm just not that type of girl. However,I do like the double breasted military jackets that are currently on sale everywhere in local shops. TopShop and River Island are definitely best contenders for items of clothing listed above. 

My tastes my change, we'll see.
