Three Colours Fabulous

How cute is my new 1970s 'dress'? 

It's the shortest thing I've worn in a looong time and I'm not sure I am comfortable in something so short. 

What if Lakota writes a haiku about me?
Or worse, what if she doesn't

BUT how ADORABLE is the fab dagger collar/pussy bow/pocket/sleeve polka dot detail?


And have you seen our Helga in her glorious 
red white and blue ensemble from yesterday



She really is the boss of the red white and blue...


Check out some of her incredible styles...



Woo... check out that supermodel trout pout below...




She don't care... she surfs hippos, man!



 Isn't she gloriarse?




And speaking of fab chicks, did you see our Vix is now officially the boss of the world

Rock on, mi awesome amors!


Red White Blue 
We Love You!

I've got red, white & blue envy right now!!!! Your frock is the cutest! Love the colour, but the addition of the polkadots really takes it to another level of wonderful. You've got gorgeous legs so as long as the frock covers your fabularse arse, go for it! Love you, Helga & Vix....sensational all 3! Xx

Kiah Torres said...

MistressCatgirl said...

Love love love this dress. It's cute from top to bottom. I love the contrasting polka dot detail. One day I wish I have the confidence to wear what I please without caring what others think.

pastcaring said...

Helga is, Vix is, you is fabularse too!
I love the shortie shortness on you, you got the pins, love, show 'em off!
But what is this I see? A COLLAR? How are we coping with the fuck-offery of that collar, given your flaporama phobia? Have you conquered it?
Of course Lakota must write a haiku about you, I think we should all demand one for a Christmas present. xxxxx

Krista said...

No way is this too short its just purrrrfect. MEOW! Yes you are right that collar and those pockets are polly perfect in fact I think I'm in love! With you and this dress, seriously I friggin love this dress and with your sweet docs and red tights. YUM!

Work days can get long and lonely slaving away on the computer, talking on the phone. Helga, Vix, your sassy sweet self always make my day a little brighter and that is liquid gold baby!

and I really would like to slap that ass :)
Iwuvsyou!!!

That is tres fab about Vix's blog!! That dress is so adorable, and I don't think it's too short when you've got tights on. If you had bare legs, well, then there might be a risk of flashing the lady parts, but it looks fab with the red tights. Helga is in a category all by herself when it comes to kickass attitude & creative personal style!

edie pop said...

Great frock and legs!!!
What a beautiful sunny day, here is raining and I feel half asleep, but this red vision makes my eyes open wide for too much hotness!!
And the amazing Helga is in here too!!I love her Von Trollop's trademark blue/red/white combination!!What a great post, I'm usually afraid of red, but I should definitely try to find the perfect dress as the one you are wearing here!!

I love you more than coffee!!!

Sara said...

Helga definitely is marvellous! You both are rocking those three colours! :)

Yours sincerely,
Sara of Ladylike Delicacy

Vix said...

Wow! You need to wear more mini dresses, amor, you look seriously hot in that one!!! If Helga's the boss in red, white and blue then you can be her evil prosti assistant 'cos you do it just as fricking well. I can't take my eyes off your legs!!
Love you more than being the boss of the world! xxxxxxxxx

Fiona said...

What a picture of ravishing red you make. That shade is so fabulous on you and the polka dot trim, cute. Love your shoes too.

Helga! said...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
Jaysus,that's almost more of me that even I can take!!! I really DO wear red,white and blue A LOT!!! YAY! Funny, I had forgotten about one of those frocks,found it the other day,took the hem up and am going to wear it this weekend!
But enough about me.What about YOU rocking that FRIGGING DIVINE FROCK THAT I AM MEGA JEALOUS AND A LITTLE FROTHY AT THE MOUTH OVER?!
O,it's PERFECT!You look HAWT to TRAWT! We're red,white and blue twins!I think you have the better pout,though!
Love you more than the royal trio of colours!

Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping] said...

You are super cute in your Helga tribute! I reckon bright tights are more forgiving with short skirts, don't you? Whereas you might feel exposed in sheers, high denier and/or bright colours are all good. Anyway, you have the legs for it! (Please come and show the school gate mums how it's done)

If I wasn't cross eyed with tiredness right now and about to go to bed before midnight for the first time in 10 days I'd haiku you right up. I'll see if the muse strikes in the morning.

The Pugnacious Vegetarian said...

Yay! Pockets! Polka dots! You look adorable :)

Melanie said...

I love this post of you and the Helgalator!!! You are both icons. Your flirty little red number with those sunglasses - no wonder you're doing such a magazine-worthy trout pout! Yes, we already knew Vix is the boss of the world but how lovely to have it verified by they, them, those.

Trees said...

I love this cute little frock - yah for seventies styles.

Our Helga does rock the red, white and blue and in fact EVER SINGLE THING she wears.

I didn't realise Vix was the Queen of the Universe now - how awesome!

Sue said...

With pins like yours you should be wearing short skirts more often. Think of the mayhem you could cause to male drivers!! So Patriotic in your red, white and blue.

Miss Tallulah Porkchop said...

I want to hump your dress.

norafinds said...

Your style is so unique I could cry! I love how confidence you are and it really does shine through!

LOVE!

PS. Love those shoes, jealous!

The Grande Dame said...

If you're not comfortable in it I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands!! *major dress envy* It's SO amazing. And you look super duper cute! I think I have to make its twin in purple and green. Or pink and black? Red and leopard?? Hmmm... xxx

Miss Simmonds Says said...

and where were you and Helga and Desiree in that list? Vix is the rightful winner, what a wondeful day when a gorgeous intelligent woman in her 40s beats a dead eyed teenage student and a load of dull sell outs at being fashionable and interesting.
That dress is short but it still looks hot. I heard you have have to give up high hem lines when you're over 35, obviously that's crap - you look stunning. Keep it
Helga is hilarious, the hippo pose is my fave xx

Vintage Coconut said...

That dress looks SO CUTE ON YOU! I rather like it.

Clairejustine said...

Your dress is amazing,I love red and love polka dot,it's an amazing combo,you look great :)

Style Sud-Est said...

Isn't great that Vix is the top UK vintage blog, she is the best -
You are pretty good as well!

Bella Q said...

Whoa.

We are so on the same wavelength. Which is doing a great flattery to myself- but GURL! We all were sporting black and white, and here, a mere day and a half after I tell someone that I'm planning to push the red/white/blue envelope YEAR 'ROUND (I normally save for summer) and committed to buying a r/w/b vintage handbag, HERE you are, and Helga in glorious technicolor wearing MAH COLORS! What a treat! What delight!

And you in that mod polka dot wonder- OMG! Turns me into a giggling school girl at a Beatles concert. I love love your style, and if we lived in the same town, I would promptly set about getting to know you. You are the coolest of the cool.

Miss Maple said...

Red, white and blue

Especially when there are polka dots and ribbons as well.

Nikki @ Penelope Cat Vintage said...

Fab dress - I do love a bow and polkadots. Your pins look amazing too. I don't have much red in my wardrobe, but after seeing you and Helga I feel I must rectify this...

Thank goodness it's a permanent structure. I would still be terrified of falling into the poo for sure :) Snakes are okay, but poo is non negotiable!
