Unleash Your Inner Pin Up Girl

I love vintage mod retro pinup clothing. I know that sounds specific. But I'm talking about the Anthropologie and Bettie Page styles. They are so feminine and sexy, but still appropriate for most occasions. I'd like to shout out Kerri at From Lazy to Lady for giving me the idea to do this post today. She told me to find dresses to wear under the Hostess Aprons I posted yesterday and suggested the pin up look. So now you should be all set for being the most stylish hostess for your next dinner party!

Vintage Mod for Summer and Fall

A very popular and feminine look is the Vintage Mod look. Stores like Anthropologie and Free People focus on this trend as the base of their fashion. If those stores are out of your budget, wait till they have their excellent sales, or visit Mod Cloth, Lulu's and Forever 21 to get your look.

Dresses:

The following dresses are perfect examples of how to pull off this look. And most of these will still be great to wear on those nice weekends in the fall!

Pleated Neck and Frill Dress - $46.89 Mod Clothing

Bags:

I love vintage and vintage inspired handbags. They always have such a classic and elegant look. And they are a refreshing change from the handbags you see everyone carrying now. In my opinion, there is nothing special about a bag that you see 1 in every 5-10 woman carrying!
