Retro Modern Pin-Up

Bustier: American Eagle Outfitters, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Candies at Kohls, Eye Wear: Urban Outfitters

Ultimately inspired by my infatuation with the 1950s style I wrote about yesterday, I decided to pull an outfit together that portrayed a bit of a modern pin up look.  I could do a lot better, but I lack the vintage accessories and hair styling products to do so.  So I combined a gray, crochet bustier and high-waisted skirt to bring forth the '50s look.  The floral print seemed to be the piece that added a retro vibe to the whole outfit and doesn't really portray the bland, conservative '50's look. The eye wear, cherry red lipstick, and bandana headband seemed to top off the look and really embrace the 1950s pin up vibe.

Bobbins and Bombshells

The 1950's: an absolute gorgeous and respectable era in style and fashion.  Curves were adored rather than skin and bones, and being modest and covered up was sexier than a skimpy outfit.  High-waisted swimsuits, beautiful curls, and delicious pie are just some of the wonderful and inspiring representations of the fifties.  

Hair in the 1950's was flawless and perfectly coiffed, which complimented the flawless makeup looks of the time.  Soft rolls, curled bangs, and the pompadour were three hairstyles that bookmarked the 1950's classic styles.  Some of the 1950's looks transitioned effortlessly into today's generation in the most timeless manner.

Effortless curls, soft pink cheeks, black liquid eyeliner, and bright red lipstick complete the timeless look of the 1950s.   Icons like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Lucille Ball are all the unforgettable, beautiful faces of the fifties that will forever be remembered. And how can we forget the gorgeous bombshell Marilyn Monroe who changed the body image of women in the fifties and the future forever.
