STYLE DIARY: 3 VINTAGE LOOKS FROM FEBRUARY

Hello!

This past month I've been very busy, so I've been taking a lot of time to create vintage looks to kind of force myself to focus on myself for a little while. I've been home in NC for a few months with a limited wardrobe, so it's been a fun challenge to create era-inspired outfits with what I have. I'll be back in Philly soon with all my clothes and accessories, and I'm excited to have better lighting and more to work with. Here are 3 vintage makeup looks and outfits that I've pulled together in February.

Late 60's Mod 

I've seen a lot of people have been doing Twiggy inspired makeup online so I wanted to try my hand at it. It was a challenge because I am not good at eyeshadow or eyeliner but I had a good time and I think it turned out well! I paired it with a true vintage lantern sleeve patterned silk top that my Grandma gave to me, a velvet mini skirt, and some sheer tights. For accessories, I popped in some square gold hoop earrings and a black headband.

20's Drop Waist 

After writing my post about 20s fashion trends, I felt inspired to do my own look with my super comfy drop-waisted dress from boohoo. This dress is definitely not super era-accurate because it's a little too short, but it definitely still evokes the style of the time. Of course, I applied blush to my knees, and rolled down some stockings to show them off. I put up my hair so it looked shorter, tried to make my brows as thin as possible, did a subtle smokey eye, strong blush and some kewpie doll lips. I was really feeling this less flashy look and it was the perfect combo of comfy and cute. 

Inspiration:

50s Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was one of my earliest fashion inspirations. Her classy simple style was the thing that got me into vintage originally, and I look up to her to this day although my taste has become more eclectic. For this look, I went back to my roots and did a Sabrina inspired look with a crew neck bodysuit and some black linen slacks. For the makeup I made my brows more straight and thick, did a small wing, some white frosty eyeliner, blush and some coral lipstick with a sharp cupid's bow. I put my hair up in a bun to emulate Audrey's short hair in the 1954 movie.

I hope to put together more looks and take higher quality pictures in the coming month when I'm back with my stuff. Wishing everyone peace and love.
