A summer afternoon is the perfect time to have a little retro fun with fashion. I was watching some old movies and was inspired to wear the scarf and dress up a little to pick up the keys to my new apartment. So exciting! More details on that later – back to the clothes.
I found the scarf for $1 in a vintage shop and have worn it with lots of different outfits and in my hair, around my neck, tied to a purse, etc. I think scarfs are a cheap (sometimes) and easy way to brighten up your outfit, so I have a lot of them. As far as the rest of the outfit, I recently unearthed all of my spring clothes that had been packed away and have been waiting for a nice day to wear this halter. I debated between navy high-waisted shorts and the skirt – they would both have been cute – but it just seemed like a skirt kind of day. I really wanted M to have a little 1950’s inspired picnic with me… clearly that didn’t happen. So there you have it. Side note: I was going to wear cream and nude wedges, but the heel was so high that with those plus the short skirt and halter top, I looked borderline hooker. Be careful of lengths and heel heights.
Thanks for reading! I hope you are inspired to wear some retro fashion. For more ideas, check out some of my favorite movies: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Charade, Pillow Talk, and Funny Face.
