Aussie Curves Retro inspired

This week's theme is Retro. At first I got all OCD and started researching individual decades for inspiration but I decided retro is not the same as vintage. It is fashion inspired by looking back to fashions and styles that are classic or that remind you of a different time in your life or a feeling. The series Mad Men is my inspiration as well as my memories of my aunt's fashion style when I was a child in the 60s. Oh yes, I was a CHILD in the 60's.

So a pencil skirt with a polka dot jumper and a belt it is. I love the bright pink of this top from Big W, They went more for pastels in the 60s but I like bright.

This is a bit washed out because the photographer forgot to set her white balance properly but it seems more like a 70s colour photo so it just adds to the retro theme.

My new cats eye glasses just match the retro feels dont you think? I had a pair of blue cats eye glasses when I was a little girl. Didnt love them quite as much as I love these ones.

Skirt TS 14 plus, top Big W, Belt Autograph Shoes Evans , pearls from my 21st birthday

 Pardon the belt slip. That wasnt supposed to happen.

just for laughs.

Thanks for reading. I do think I will actually wear this to work when the weather gets cooler. Could be fun.

This is a blog hop and we are loving the retro look so check them out.
