Big thanks to Karen again for spotting this bargain-tastic 1960s-style sleeveless check dress at, of all places, Matalan.

Gabicci Vintage Gentile top
Gabicci is a strange one. While much of its output looks suited to a middle-aged golfer typer having a swift gin and tonic on a Sunday, the Vintage side of its output does throw up one or two gems. Like this Gabicci Vintage Gentile top. Part of the most recently-launched […]
