Feeling 50

 So, I got a little carried away.  Unintentionally I became a strange blend of June Cleaver and Betty Draper...hm, Don Draper and June Cleaver...  

Anyway, I can't help myself when it comes to retro fashion.  It's awkward and cute.

As I am always looking for new ways to style my bangs I settled for the mini victory roll.  A bit tricky with short bangs but do-able.  I then curled the rest of my hair in all the same direction, pinned it in a low swoop off to the side, then twisted the curls to be one.  Notice my cute button earrings that I made!

My cobalt blue dress with white polk-a-dots buttoned all the way up.  This was a thrift store find somewhere in WI.  My new favorite cardi, mustard yellow-orange over top. The red belt and red shoes are a bit matchy, but I didn't seem to mind.  

I got so caught up in the moment that it wasn't until I was ready to walk out the door that I realized I was a bit over dressed for the occasion and venue.  A sports bar for beer and wings with casual friends.  I decided to unpin my hair, leaving in the victory roll, loosened up my color, removed the belt and zipped on some boots.  But don't worry, I didn't loose all the 50's flair, just softened the blow of Betty Draper barreling through the door.
