Vintage...one word that strikes joy into any girls heart.
1950's style dresses...three words that strike joy into any girls heart.
Going out in the evening to a grown-up party...nine words that also strike joy into any girls heart
Combine the lot together and you get one very happy lady. Handsome husband and I hardly every go out...two children and 4 jobs between us means we don't get a lot of spare time, but when we do, and we go out, I like to dresUP.
We have two wedding receptions coming up, and who would think it, they are one night after the other. We haven't been to a party for ages (I get to go to many children's parties, and whilst they are fun, they do not count)
Much thought has gone into the outfit and I have decided what I am wearing. Outfit A is a pink and white candy cane striped sleeveless dress, with a very full skirt and sash tie around the waist. Outfit B is to be a similar cut dress, but in a black and white print, with a wide neckline and Jackie O style collar, which I will wear cinched in with a wide white belt. Shoes will most probably be white peeptoe wedges with a leather flower on the toe, very cute.
And as I was trying them on the other day in preparation, I decided what both dresses needed was a 1950's style net petticoat to give it more oomph. Cue a blast on the internet and hooray for ebay I have ordered just the thing. I am super excited and can't wait for it to be delivered.
As a tangent, and whilst I was internet mooching, I found dollydagger- it is heaven and I want to completly remodle my wardrobe and from now on, only be a 1950's starlet and hang about all day looking like a total babe from yesteryear. I'm sure its do-able, daddio.
