I must admit that I have always been a fan of 1950s glamour. At the age of 6 I vividly remember trying to emulate Wendy Peffercorn's (Sandlot) sleek blonde ponytail and red lips, and my biggest style icons were the ladies from Grease. Fast forward 20 years, and I am still inspired by 1950s style. Lucky for me, the S/S 2012 runways were filled with styles reminiscent of the era. The high-waisted skirt paired with a midriff-baring top is one of my favorite trends this season.
I wore this look at my friend's bachelorette party this past weekend in Atlanta. I have a fairly traditional style so when I am incorporating a new trend into my wardrobe I try to stay true to that. I buy clothes with more adventurous shapes or silhouettes in basic colors like black, white, cream, grey, and I buy clothes with really loud color (i.e. neon) or exotic patterns in classic shapes.
Enjoy!
