This is how I knew it is vintage? I saw it in my old family album...I get a lot of compliments from the old age whenever I am dressed in it...I looked into the archives and there it was...The first issue of Elle magazine was flooded with models dressed in it...There was never a colour photo of it...

 


Marilyn Monroe is well known to be one of the inspirations for this trend. Reminding me of when we would be found messing around with our mother's lipstick...

 

Lets take a closer look at the detail...

 

   

 

  



Tip: You can always transform a vintage piece into something CURRENT by making little adjustments like adding that waist belt to that vintage dress...or team up a jean with that vintage blouse...have fun with it!
