Frocktober Day 9! 80's does 40's

I'm channeling Rachael from Blade Runner. Thought I'd point that out 'cos I know I'm not doing such a great job....

This little frock is a fine example of 80's does 40's - one of my favourite cross over eras (along with 70's does 40's, 70's does 30's and 60's does Victoriana...yeah I think about this stuff way too much.)

And the colour? A  perfect 80's electric blue with black print, cross over front, peplum skirt, long sleeves, cuffs and straight skirt. It's from the op shop of course!

Not many accesories today - just dark red lace tights which are Leona Edmiston (and I must say they were given to me years ago and just last and last), a  BIG rolled fringe, victory rolls and a big flower with a veil in the back of my hair.

 
I frocked this number to the library today - a rather late deco building (Kylie??) that has been recently renovated.

 It used to have the most gorgeous deco toilets - all black and green glossy tiles....but alas, no more! Here they are today. I think my expression says it all. Ho hum.

Then I met my daughter Hazel at the op shop. She's wearing a tropical print jumpsuit! Which made it a very 80's sort of day!

Here's some more 80'a does 40's inspiration...

Please spread the word. Frocktober is about raising awareness of ovarian cancer. A pap smear doesn't detect ovarian cancer. There is no test that detects this form of cancer which is why it is such a dangerous and insidious disease. Without early detection the chances of recovery and survival are GRIM. That's why we need to raise money for research.
