drumsticksandgravy: I really want to emulate 1950's fashion, I was wondering if you know any good sites that sell vintage (or vintage looking clothing) that would look flattering on a woman of color?

There’s this great site called http://StopStaringClothing.com and its filled with vintage and retro pieces. They’re a bit pricey so if you ever want to emulate that look its really simple. Try a striped nautical shirt, with a pair of high waisted slim leg pants, and a cute pump or flat. Or you can do a fitted pencil skirt, with a leopard print cardigan. Dont be afraid to show your curves because women in the 50’s sure weren’t. Lastly add a winged eye and a red lip for that extra pinup flare. Stay chic!!

Etsy.com has loads of vintage clothing.  I would combine navy blue & red into my outfits.  Polka dots and nautical clothing are also very 1950s.  Try a neutral eye with winged eyeliner and a red lip.  I also think it’s cute when ladies add the mole above their lip.  It really adds to the outfits.  You could also try 50s inspired hairstyles like victory rolls and adding bandanas to your basic hairstyles.  Good luck!

XOXOXO
