Remember I was going to a vintage party last Sunday? Well I did manage to take a few pics, but lighting was horrible, so I only have a few to show you. So here it is, without further ado: my 1950s inspired hair, make up and outfit.

Excuse the vacuum cleaner! haha
Hair & make up
Here’s what I’m wearing:

Outfit:

- Black tulle skirt (worn as petticoat) (H&M)
- Charcoal grey low heeled mary jane pumps (Sacha)
- Red polka dot scarf (H&M)
For my hair I used the following tutorial by CherryDollFace:
My hair and especially my bangs are a fair bit longer than hers and to top it off I had washed my hair the morning of the party. That’s why on the first close up pictures the curl is much tighter: that was my trial run and I did that on ‘dirty’ hair. It allowed me to make the curl a lot tighter and it came out much better, but oh well. Can’t have it all right?
That’s it, my 1950s look. What do you think?
