A friend is having a mad men themed party. So of course that means late '50s early '60s dress required. If you know me at all, you know that there has never been a full skirt that I said no to. I love the romantic look of the 50s! BUT lately I've been wanting to look more sophisticated. I want sleeker silhouettes, and a more polished look. Therefore, I couldn't help but look up a bunch of dresses on etsy. I found all of the above 60s style dresses! I love #3. Too bad pink is not my color. Isn't the color of #1 amazing?
I've been really inspired by the 1960s lately. The women's fashion is really empowering for the first time in the '60s. I just want to wear high waisted wool pants with a turtle neck. Gosh I can't wait until fall! I'm in the process of buying something very awesomely 1960s but I'll post pictures once I get it in the mail! Man, I love vintage etsy.
Here is the beginning of Wait Until Dark. The classic Audrey Hepburn movie, where she plays a terrorized blind woman. It was made in 1967. Be inspired by the fashion in the first few scenes.
Is there a word for the act of planning a wedding? Because I keep wanting to say that I have been weddinging.
So I've been weddinging all week. I bought a few vases for center pieces (more on that later). I went vendor shopping. I make at least one phone call every day on my lunch to get more information and make appointments and such. The good thing is I'm learning to make decisions. the bad thing is I still don't have a ceremony or reception site or date. I think this will be done by the end of next week.
So tonight I organized all the information I received at the bridal show and started looking at dresses on etsy! I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy this whether or not I wear it at a wedding event. If this came in my size it would be a serious contender.
I can wear yellow in my wedding...right?
I LOVE this. I get tingling feelings looking at it.
Just because it's AWESOME! If I was rockabilly this would be my wedding dress hands down. It makes me think of my eldest sister. If she were getting married today I would try to convince her to wear something like this. Can't you picture it on a curvy girl with purple hair and brightly colored tattoos!
