The reason I started this blog in the summer of last year, was because I wanted to document my progress from being this sort of 'average' looking girl who just wore a lot of jeans and t-shirts, sometimes dresses, but normally quite tom-boyish clothes to this woman who wears lots and lots of pretty dresses, skirts and outfits similar to the style of the 194-s/50s and sometimes a little 60s. I've always been in love with the whole 'pin up' and 'vintage' world; I've implemented bits and bobs from it into my wardrobe and make-up over the past few years, from red lipstick to polka dot dresses, but I've never actually had the guts to transform my look completely.
If you've read any of my blog in the past, you may have seen me going from my normal veeeery long hairstyle, to settling for a shorter do with a mini fringe. This was one of the first big steps I took to embrace more of the pin-up look. I hadn't cut my hair in so long so last year I thought what a better way to embrace more of a vintage look than with a shorter hair-do.
This is how long my hair used to be, it got really hard to manage to be honest. My hair is so unbelievably thick, it took over an hour to straighten it! I knew I had to lighten the load and cut it off.
So after I got it cut off I started wearing more vintage reproduction clothes and curling my hair.
It wasn't long until I decided to dye it ginger.
I started getting better at dressing and styling myself!
Soooooo that's kinda my transformation over the past year! I'm so pleased and proud of where I am now, and my confidence has shot up so much. My hair styling has gotten so much better, as you can see in the last photo.
Maybe this time next year I'll have to do another post and see if I change much between now and then.
