sorry about the quality of these photos above, the light was crap! WEARING: headscarf - vintage (my mum's!) ; dress - charity shop £5 (originally fever)
Today, my flatmate and I finally got around to doing a car boot sale! We decided we should dress up all retro and 50s, and boy did we look good. It was quite fun once it got busy, and we attracted quite a few customers. I don't think we sold anything for more than £3, but that's what car booting is all about - buying/selling stuff dirt cheap. I think we made about £55 total, which isn't too bad.
It was completely necessary for us to go to the diner afterwards, seeing as we'd made so much effort. Strawberry milkshakes and curly fries were devoured.
I am SO exhausted now. I'm in my pyjamas in bed!
