    What to wear??

    You could wear cigarette pants or capri pants and heels with a tight, short sweater and a chiffon scarf around your neck--kind of "drag strip honey." Think of Sandy after her makeover in Grease.

    Quilts?

    I used to design textiles--paisleys, florals, plaids, etc, for women's career apparel for a living, and when I decided to leave that career I cut up all of the various blouses, skirts, jumpers, etc I'd designed and made a crazy quilt out of them. Looking at some of the prints now, this is the...

    hair - how to get a look

    Awww, rats. If you want that perfect round roll at the front, you could try using a "hair rat." I've never used one, but I'm sure you could find somewhere to buy one online. This looks like a complicated style, so you may need two? Good luck-with this look, you will surely turns heads!

    Personal Elements of Style

    Most of my earrings are actually buttons that I've cut the shanks off of and glued on posts.

    Who's your favorite fatal femme?

    Not limited only to film noir fans, of course! In your opinion, which fictional female had knock 'em dead style? I grew up wanting to be Brenda Starr, Girl Reporter, but for favorite femme fatale, it's gotta be Gilda with her black satin gloves.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I don't usually wear vintage, more "vintage-inspired." Today as I walked through the lobby of my office building wearing ankle-strap heels, pencil skirt, peter pan-collared blouse and a belted cardigan I passed by two women and heard one of them say to the other "I bet she's somebody." It made...

    Matchy-matchy or not so much-y?

    I know these days there aren't any rules about matching shoes, bag, and belt, etc, but I still like my undergarments to look like a "set" and my lips and nails to be similar shades. How about you? Are you "matchy-matchy" too?

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    SO glad I found this place. Just knowing there are so many "old-fashioned" folks out there makes me want to really pursue my interests in dressing like and learning about days gone by. In my circle of friends I've been made to feel like some out-of-touch weirdo with an unhealthy sense of...

    Vintage Prom attire

    After reading the "Comments You Get..." thread, I can understand the urge to just dress like everyone else and be done with it, at any age. Hence, I'm so glad I found this site--I feel validated in my cardigan-wearing, high-heeled, foam rollers lifestyle, which no one in my real life understands.

    Vintage Prom attire

    Great job, Prom Stylist! Just my opinion, but the two girls you didn't dress don't look to me like they are going to a prom at all. That red dress looks like what I wear to run errands! Funny how styles change.

    day / evening make up

    I usually save the darker or shimmery lipsticks for evening, same goes for colored eyeshadows. For day I wear the same eyeliner and mascara as I do for going out, and a rose-taupey lipcolor.

    What are you listening to?

    I'm listening to Nat King Cole. I've had "Can't I?" stuck in my head all day.

    What Is The Wardrobe Choice for a Vamp?

    It's easier to stand out these days... I think a bombshell, moreso than a vamp, is about style and confidence over sex appeal. Not that she doesn't have it, she just doesn't flaunt it as much. Day to day bombshell wardrobe makes me think feminine, pretty, "done." I'm the bombshell of my group...
