Whilst at work, again, on a Satruday night I have been finding the ensem-BLAH's that have been coming out of the street closet brilliant. Sat at a table for two I had to disturb and get to know this lady.
Dressed head to toe in a 1950's inspired ensemble she was Rock n Rolling this to the "T". Her halter neck top and light grey mid calf length pencil skirt was a perfect ensemble for a lady. You have to be careful wearing halter necks as you have to have the right shoulders. The shoulder straps can sometimes make your shoulders look bigger than they actually are but as demonstrated above by Charlotte and as mentioned before she works this brilliantly. Although you cannot see the full length of the look her skirt was mid calf which again can chop you up making you look shorter. However this is where the shoes would come in. She teamed the look with a solid black wedge with a rounded toe cap. This lengthens the leg but height also helps. Charlotte at this rate you have it all.
The brilliant thing about a 1950's inspired look is that it shows off the body in all the right places. Her waist is exaggerated by the cuts but also the contrast in colour. The neckline really shows off the top half really well and balances the body. Her whole outfit was bought from Vivien of Holloway. Follow the below link to visit the site:
Charlotte completed her look with a necklace that was two black hearts and across them two white scrolls with "Rock n Roll" written in black. She wore small dice earrings, now this is what I love, when there are small examples of attention to detail. Accessories were bought from Bette Noire.
Charlotte currently works in admin for a painting and decorating company and loves to shop for vintage clothes in her spare time. She also likes tattoos and has a total of five. The ones across her decolletage were from Jokers Tattoos in Sidcup.
I was browsing through Vivien of Holloway and came across the below wrap dress which would be perfect for a wedding or ball. The midnight navy, with a string of antique pearls and a pair of nude Christian Louboutins would be a complete show stopper.
"Grace Circle Dress."
"Filo Patent."
I once stamped my foot whilst shopping with a friend a blurted out, "I want to be a girl."
Sigh.
