This is what happens when my inner '50s goddess gets awakened.
Sometimes it's just refreshing to dress like you came from another decade.
I've always seen trends as ever-reincarnating and innovating; and the revival of the '50s fashion is something that I've been wishing to happen. In this generation of cutouts, short shorts and bandage dresses, being trendy may mean wearing prints on prints and bright colors but going back to the '50s just proves that we can still look fashionable in sweet pastels and long A-line skirts without exposing much skin.
This Teapot Lounge Tee from Traffic People actually set the '50s mood for me. If you happen to browse their website, almost all of their collections are in whites or pastels--perfect for days when you feel like being a sweet, girly-girl.
The fair, windy weather ushered my artsy side as well.
I especially loved how this maxi skirt from Choies created various figures as I twirled around.
This is actually on of my favorites OOTDs. Taking these photos was so much fun! And would you believe that my mom was behind these photographs?
Completed this vintage look with a turban and my favorite Prada-esque sunnies.
I added some gold accents for a little boho touch. This cocktail ring from
Chemjoy.com is such a stunner. Apart from cutouts and bejeweled details, it's also very affordable at only $1.99! Chemjoy.com has the prettiest accessories with the lowest prices. They offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING too!
Lookie lookie, the skirt just formed mini ocean waves and a flower!
