Firstly, I thought a lot before I decided the create this blog. I mean, I'm aware I don't look like a pin up girl so I wasn't sure what to do as I've seen so many absolutely incredible ladies who blog who I could never ever compare myself to! Alas, I am doing what I want.
So my love for 50s and vintage fashion has been lying pretty dormant for years. I have always had low self esteem and have struggled, and still am struggling, to come to terms with the fact that I am not and have never been a stick thin girl. So, I've never really had the confidence to dress like pin up girl out of fear of not looking right, or looking ridiculous. I suffer from general anxiety disorder so...you see where I'm coming from.
More recently, I've been coming into my own shell when it comes to vintage fashion. I've been experimenting with clothes that fit my figure and show off my curves. I'm coming to terms with the fact that vintage fashion accentuates girls with figures like mine, shows off the curves! I'm in love with the pin up world as it doesn't make me feel bad for not being stick thin, it makes me feel beautiful and sexy!
Over the next coming months, I'm kind of hoping my look becomes more transformed. I've bought new clothes and shoes and I'm really coming into my own with it. I'm going to get my hair cut next month and I'm actually going to be daring to get bettie bangs and dye my hair ginger (I'm going to mexico in October though so the hair dying will have to wait until after then). I'm going to experiment with curls and try and perfect my victory rolls and different hairstyles.
I guess I'm just really happy as I know who I am and for once, I am taking care of myself and my happiness and who I want to be!
This will be a sort of documentation of my journey and progress and experimentations!
