Retro Summer Blog Party Outfit!
Hello all! How are you today? I'm happy because it's raining - a long while has passed since I've heard the beautiful sound of raindrops hitting the pavement. I'm also pleased that my summer outfit photos were done long before the rain started! ;)
This blog party look is inspired by what is in my opinion the most summery of retro eras, the 1950's! To begin with, a button-up blouse and full midi skirt made the foundation of the outfit and copied the era's style. A little scarf tied under my collar added interest as well as a Roman Holiday flair. Lace-up wedges proved to be just the right shoes for a 50's summer look. Influenced by retro times, my pony-tail, glasses, and makeup all pulled together this summertime look.

While wearing this outfit I had pleasure of being a landing zone for a beautiful butterfly! It must have thought that my floral skirt was a pretty flower garden. Dad grabbed his phone and took a couple of pictures while the breeze lazily blew my skirt and the stylish bug. Pretty cool, no?

Lovely outfit, Paige! The 50's is definitely one of my favorite eras! And how funny that you mentioned "Roman Holiday", as I was just watching some of that film today. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thanks Cryslyn! :) Oh, how funny! That's one of my favorite black and white films.
DeleteI haven't gotten the opportunity to watch the entire movie, but from what I've seen I rather love it. :-)
DeleteBy the way, I'm really hoping to join your contest, however I haven't had anyone to take any photos for me, so hopefully I can figure something out here soon!
Okay, no problem! :) If it comes down to it, you can even take a mirror selfie.
DeleteBeautiful outfit Paige! This is by far my favorite of all the outfits I have ever seen you post. You did a super job pulling off the 50's style!
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way...if you want some rain you are welcome to most of mine. I always get excited on the rare day that I can actually see the sun!
Aw, thanks so much Lydia! :D I do like the 50's.
DeleteOh wow! You live in a very wet place! It used to be here, but we're in a drought.
Gorgeous outfit, Paige! I love the flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks muchly Bethany!
DeleteRoman Holiday was the first thing I thought of when I saw this! Those shoes are so perfect - I love how everything's tied together, but still summery and casual. Lovely outfit!
