Vintage Nautical Pastels

Hello there! Right now I am laying down in my cozies eating a bowl of rice and bread... I know... so healthy... haha! However, I have a stomach ache and apparently foods like that are supposed to help, but we'll see! I am also currently on the last season of That '70s Show and I don't want it to end!!! It is such a great show and I definitely recommend it!!! Enough with my ranting about my current couch shenanigans and let's get to this funky late 1960s/70s outfit!

When I traveled to Tennessee in November I stumbled upon a wonderful vintage clothing shop while walking the streets of Chattanooga and fell in love with this unique set (including top and pants)! The fabric detail is so pretty with a mixture of colors such as shades of purple, green, and pink. The collar is statement making, and the buttons are very nautical! My shoes and earrings came from a couple of my favorite reproduction businesses (details at bottom of post).









 ... And who said you can't be silly during photoshoots?!...



Top/Pants- Collective Clothing
Earrings- Revere Folie

I hope you have had a beautiful week so far! And don't forget to smile!

Swinging Lipsticks

Last night, I went to a 1960s style 2nd Chance Valentines Prom. Sure, it was a second chance prom... but being in only my sophomore year of high school without an older boyfriend (or any significant other for that matter), it was MY FIRST chance prom! The entire time, bands performed music from the 50s-70s, and both bands were quite good (despite not knowing some of the songs). It was so fancy with candlelit tables and red heart confetti; a perfectly unique night out for my family and I. The fashion we encountered was incredible. There was every color and every 1960s look present ranging from 1960 itself to 1969.

My favorite look of them all was a vintage sage green lace long-sleeve dress with a green headband, strappy heels, bulky pearl earrings, and black cat eye glasses. The lady who sported this look pulled it off with wonderful vintage hair flair and admirable confidence. It was not even a question that she won Prom Princess (I entered too but didn't win haha).

Anyway, this is what I wore... I went for a very early 1960s look when the swing style and red lips was still a thing. I loved wearing this dress while dancing, especially with the petticoat underneath! I received this dress as a Birthday gift in December, and I was so happy to find the perfect event to wear it to!

It is so comfortable and is sure to turn heads! You can find complete outfit details at the bottom of this post! Enjoy!
