For any UK ladies interested, I found a perfect cotton shirtwaister dress in H&M the other week and I like the fit so much I bought two! One in a very light grey and one in black. It buttons to the waist, has a self tie belt (but I add my own vintage belt) and a full skirt. I wore the grey one to work last week and one of my male colleagues complimented me twice on it! I love it as it's a simple, staple item and since it's cotton it can be just be thrown in the washing machine.
I also got this brown button down dress from Dorothy Perkins. It's one of those dresses which looks a lot better on! It cinches in your waist with a full(ish) skirt and just fits in all the right places. Another great dress for work.
Some other cute stuff that DP have in at the moment -
The crochet detailing and colour remind me of a 40s dress I've got.
Puff sleeves shirts
Fitted jacket -
Not clothing but Monsoon have some really nice vintage style homewares in at the moment such as photo frames, trinket boxes and compacts (see below). I got given this fabulous 'art deco' style clock for my birthday.
