It's no secret that I am a huge fan of vintage styles. From a tweed, tailored suit jacket and pencil skirt to a sweet floral swing skirt or cropped jeans, white t-shirt and flats, I just love the image. The 50's were all about being smartly polished yet extremely feminine.
The 50's embraced feminine curves and believe me, if I could wear a poodle skirt, saddle shoes and a cardigan everyday and get away with it, I totally would! With the current fashion trends leaning towards classic pieces and bold accessories, there is no better combination of both than the fashion styles of the 1950's. Finding vintage inspired pieces that are classic enough for a PTA lunch but can still be sexy enough to compete with the likes of Marilyn, Grace and Audrey are easier than you might think!
Looking for a fabulous cocktail dress? How about this Adrianna Papell Pleated Jersey and Taffeta – women's plus from Nordstrom.com.
Want to try adding a little every day vintage into your look? Take a look at this cardigan and blouse combination from Gap.com
Add some ankle skimming skinny jeans like these from Gap.com and you have a super cute, totally polished look with a bit of vintage flair!
Add a coat like this Larry Levine A Line walker coat from Macys.com and you have a head turning outfit on your hands. It's not rock-n-roll chic but it is perfectly practical and polished!
And just take a look at this great vintage-feel two-piece swimsuit from Betsy Johnson courtesy of Macy's.com! Even more incentive to get on the treadmill and run, run, run!
Take the opportunity to go back in time this winter! Listen to Chubby Checker and do the twist right out of your winter blahs! Try adding a few vintage inspired pieces to your winter wardrobe for a quick pick me up. And remember, spring is right around the corner! It's almost time to think about pedal pushers and gingham tops, daddy-o!
