Boob Tubes!

We have a whole little capsule collection of these seriously fabulous, original and pristine, 1970s sequin "boob tube" tops currently for sale in the shop. I remember the first time as a little kid hearing that phrase and giggling uncontrollably for days upon days much to the annoyance of my far cooler, and older, aunts who were still wearing them with their bell bottoms in the late seventies. Modern girls should pair them with the season best glitzy bags & shoes, and then contrast with an unexpected fabric — a flannel or light wool works wonders!
PLUS they have a hidden benefit — after all — how could you possibly wear something known as a boob tube and not walk around with anything but a big ol' silly grin plastered across your face — so in effect they are an instant mood and boob lifter!
Have a glitzy, vintage filled day
(and yes it did take everything I had not to write a boob-tastic vintage day)xxxcherie
