On vintage (ish)

Hello, loves!

Today...vintage!

A tad blurry, but still representative of my huge glasses, pincurls, and dorkitude

I am a total n00blet when it comes to vintage. I decided to start dressing vintage-y when I cleaned up for a public hearing at work (i work for the government). Everybody at work told me how well I cleaned up in my pencil skirt and pumps. My vain little brain said "oh, man, I could be this hot EVERY DAY!" So the internet and I found the vintage and I got to work. Unfortunately, my wardrobe is limited by the economy being in the toilet. So here are some things I love and/or hate about going vintage:

1. Awesome: Fire-engine red lipstick makes a girl feel hot!
2. Awesome: Only wash my hair once a week! Okay, yeah that sounds totally gross, but my pincurls always look the best when my hair has four or five days worth of yuck in it.
3. Awesome: I have a small waist for my rather large body, and those nipped-in fifties silhouettes accentuate that. Having big ole F/G jubblies and 42 inches of hip can make you look like a big tube if you don't take some precautions. I hate feeling dumpy!
4. NOT awesome: Stockings. Or more accurately, having trouble finding the proper stockings. I'm like 70% leg/thunder-thigh. I wear the biggest size they sell in stores, and the comfortable ones are ELUSIVE.
5. NOT awesome: Where are all the good clothes? I don't know where there's a good secondhand shop in my town! OH NOES!!!
6. NOT awesome: Sweet hats are really friggin expensive! Some day, amazing hats. Some day.

AND IN CONCLUSION: it's time to watch my shows!
