Swish Your Skirt and Retro Moment (Style Me July: Day 8 & 9)

Unfortunately yesterday I left work early due feeling sick with a major head ache and stomach pains. So hence the double day post again. Both photos were taken today and the Day 8 photo is the same outfit I wore on the actual day.

Left: Top & Skirt from Forever 21. Right: Shirtdress from Old Navy and
 Lady in Red  Lipstick by Julep



I love swishing around this high low shirt, it's so flowing and comfy. It takes some getting used to since  it's short in the front but then you don't have to worry about backside getting exposed with the long train. Also the top is super soft and is shorter in the middle with long sides. It looks like the cross is painted on but I had nothing under the shirt, so that's why the photo is cut off. The back is my favourite part of the shirt, I loved cutout back shirts and I loved how it's shredded but it looks very clean.

Nothing more retro than red lipstick (slightly worn off) and the Lady in Red lipstick by Julep from the Great Gatsby collection has been my favourite red recently. It lasts a fair amount of time I only applied it once during an 8 hour day but you definitely want to apply a chap stick underneath to avoid dry lips. This dress reminds very much of a 50's housewife and  my hand is cutting off the neckline a bit but it is a shirt dress.  I was just wearing flip flops below but I actually wore bright blue rain boots since it was slight raining in the morning. You can see the posts on the post here where I wore the same boots.



Tell what's your favourite retro trend, your favourite beauty and/or fashion and what era is your favourite. I do love the 50's glam, the 70's boho flower child and the wild 80's.

Lot's of Love
