I (HEART) Retail Therapy: Sammy Dress

The Summer of the Pin Up Girl

Soooooo, I am a real woman. I have curves and breasts, no six pack (my children took care of that for me), thighs, no saline implants, no lipo, no nip/tuck and no ass shots (even though I am seriously considering getting some). In other words, I am real. Even though I am actively working out, watching what I eat, and fantasizing about my new sexy body...I doubt I'll ever look like the women in the magazines. Nor do I want to be a size 00. Emaciated with a huge bobble head is not what I consider a good look. Sorry anorexics...just not my cup of tea.

**Disclaimer: Just to avoid confusion, not all size 0 girls look like emaciated bobble heads. What I was trying to express in what I thought was a humorous way is when I get too thin I look like an emaciated bobblehead...because I have a large head. There it is. I am not considered plus size, nor am I anti curvy or anti thin**

With my fashion styling and makeup courses through QC Academy, I have been immersed in styles, trends, colors and fashion. I have learned more about my own personal style and what appeals to me. I have also learned about what cuts, drapes, and silhouettes look best on different body shapes. Since my basic style of dress consists of classic shapes and cuts, (and I have a real womans body) this summer I am going all out pin up girl.

That's right, all out 40's/50's/pin up girl. Think Betty Grable, Bettie Page, classic shapes, detailing to highlight lovely lady lumps, A Line skirts, sweetheart necklines, red lipstick, polka dots, garter belts, thigh highs, and high waists and fitted capri's to cover up other lady bumps one doesn't necessarily want to share with the world.

Here's some of my personal pin up girl inspirations:
