Last week, I was fortunate to receive some money and I thought (not for long!) about what I should do with it. Of course, most of you know I love Ossie Clark and dear WendyB has been driving me to pure inspiration distraction with her divine Ossies.
So, it seemed the natural decision to add to my collection and was I pleased when I won this lovely red dress on Ebay over the weekend!!
It is a moss crepe Ossie Clark for Radley, very 40s style I would say! After a floral or patterned Ossie, I've been coveting a red one, so was very pleased when this one was for sale!
With the remaining money, I decided to treat myself to this Celia Birtwell for Topshop silk wrap top, which I'm hoping to pair with my See by Chloe high waisted light coloured flared jeans. A new purchase for spring/summer 09!!
So, I'm all spent out on my financial windfall, but I'm very pleased as to where the money's gone!

Hey Sharon, I really love your new Ossie Clark dress! It's a 40s style I really like! As you may or may not know, I have had a sort of project about the 40s going on, how fashion bloggers like/wear the 40s trend. So would you mind if I link this post of yours in my next post?
That's a stop you dead-in-your-tracks shade of red, you look AMAZING!

Such a lovely find, the colour is gorgeous on you! And the silk wrap top is so nice.

that colour really suits you! and the cut is lovely. a great find, as always:)
Ow owww! Lady in red, look at you! Love it. (your shoes are adorable too, btw). I think you could wear that new top in the winter if you paired it with a dark chocolate wrap but that's just me. I'm awful at waiting to debut new pieces!
I hadn't noticed this Celia Birtwell top on the topshop website until you put it on your blog. It is so lovely.
that's right ma'am
no regrets!

Hi always in style-YOU are lovely-thanks my dear!
guess i'll just repeat what everyone else is saying - that is a lovely dress! is it the orangey red i'm getting on my screen (one of my favorite colors!) or red red? in either case, it looks great on you!
Hi karima-thanks so much my dear-it is actually a red red-after all these years, its kept its vibrancy!!
Swooooooooonnnn!!! That is one gorgeous dress! I love Ossie Clark so much. And the Celia Birtwell top is incredibly pretty too. You find the best clothes, girl!
Hi anchibride-thanks so much my dear, much appreciated!! the CB top has gone back though, the material was very flimsy.
You totally scored getting that Ossie Clark dress, how freakin lucky are you!! I absolutely love the blouse! I'm super jealous right now!
Hi budget chic-what a lovely comment, thanks!! the CB top has gone back now, the material was rather inferior!
