What I have discovered about the Pin Up wardrobe

[Diira]

This may be an off topic post or maybe not. If so sorry about that.

For those Dolls not yet in the know, I have Very Recently started my look/lifestyle with the pin up look. At first I focused on the hair and make up... easy enough to do, then I ended up a bit stymied where the clothes were concerned so I posted a help request in this very same thread and got a ton of advice and support. Now though I have realized something, while the clothes are great/awesome/wonderful and admittedly to die for, what you wear doesn't matter nearly as much as "HOW" you wear it. You can be wearing the most perfect dress from the 40's, 50's or whenever but if your in a down attitude or a generally negative attitude it won't matter a fig. The clothes, the accessories, even the hair and make up just "don't mean a thing if you don't got that swing". Its really all about your attitude and your love of yourself and the body your in that Really makes it Pin Up. 

At least this is the lesson I learned!

I have always been a fan of the pinup look, but it was not until recent that I started to embrace it.  When I got my boudoir shots done as a present to my husband I saw for the first time that I actually take decent photos and have a bit of a natural retro look anyway.  It is a little hard to expand my wardrobe being overseas, but once he gets out if the military and we are back in the states I plan on adding more items.

Agreed....

Unlike some fashion trends (think polyester, leather fringe, fluorescents, and crop tops), pin-up is pretty much the embodiment of timeless, classic, feminine fashion.  And as mentioned previously, it can be flattering for any body type.

I agree that this style of clothing is more flattering to someone who has a classic curvy figure (like me). I also heartily agree that this site is amazing! I work in a conservative day job but I still find ways to fit in retro style clothing mixed with modern office wear...a cute cardigan and a pencil skirt can go a long way! Thanks all for being so positive!
