For me I'm a clear 50s girl - I have the 'perfect' figure or at least vaguely the right shape. Although I think the designs of the 20s/30s are gorgeous and the designs of the 60s a lot of fun neither styles are built for curves.
This means I go well with an hourglass shaped - either fitted or full in the skirt
This is the outfit I put together for my new haircut last week.
I bought the shirt from Timaru savemart at the same time as I bought this dress. It was a size or 2 bigger than I would normally buy but I used my dress makers dummy to make some serious depth in the darts and left the top part as it was. Then I added the black ribbon and I was all ready for a new do.
Outfit
Top - $5.99 Savemart Timaru
Belt - ribbon from Spotlight
Skirt - bought on sale 10 years ago Catalyst
Tights - part of a set bought at Cosmic in chch

DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeletethank you I like the colour a lot
DeleteYou really do tights and skirts very well. Also, yellow is not a colour a lot of people can pull off but this shirt looks great on you and really sets of the lovely honey colour of your hair. Good job you!
ReplyDeletethank you. I haven't got a lot of this colour in my wardrobe but I do really like it
DeleteOnce again so stylish! I don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteSo generous Rachelle - I don't know that I always do manage it but I enjoy the process
