Tracksuit Traction

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS.....

OR THIS.....


AND CERTAINLY NOT THIS.....

WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGERS!!
Thankfully this retro Adidas track top comes with a warning!



Here at Armstrongs we like to think that our clothing makes our shoppers happy. Whether it's keeping you cosy, providing a little bit of modesty, putting a smile on your face with a vibrant print, or just accompanying you during your day- our clothes do their the best to ensure you're feeling good. But sometimes our garments go beyond their usual responsibilities! We hope this safety warning has prevented some slippery sores (or just given it's readers a giggle!)

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair!


Did you guys make it along to Judy's affordable vintage fair last week? Well, we did and had a great time spotting Edinburgh most stylish!It was a great opportunity to dig through other people's vintage collections! There was many a bargain to be had which certainly puts a smile on our faces! Check out some of the great shots we took! 


So many amazing things to be found! We love all the little trinkets and accessories; I wonder how many were found in the pockets of vintage garments! 


We even bumped into some of our loyal Armstrong's shoppers!


We thought you guys looked great in your clashing prints! Love the rose hair band against her pastel hair!
Great contrast of graphic prints with a band t-shirt! Such individual style is hard to find these days ladies! Keep shopping at Armstrong's!


We loved this 1940s inspired outfit! Cute cardi over a ditzy floral print dress! Cinching the waist with a skinny belt creates such a lovely feminine silhouette!


Hats off to another great day and a great fair! Until next time...

Her Majesty's Mohair!

If Queen Elizabeth I of England time travelled into the 1980's we like to think she would have fallen head-over-pinson-heels in love with this pearl studded mohair knit! Buy it here!

Flying Purple People Eater!

Apparently the original Tyrian purple colour dyes were extracted from a mollusk found on the shores of the city of Tyre in ancient Phoenicia. Purple became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Luckily times have changed and you can buy garments in the widest sprectrum of purples from our Ebay store (for very affordable prices!)
These wild mohair jumpers from the 1980s feature deep inky shades. You can find them listed on our ebay site here: Violet Purple Blue

These jumpers are the perfect attire for a sing-a-long with Sheb Wooley from 1958!
