When I think of retro, I immediately think of an era of soda fountains, pencil skirts, and perfectly coiffed hair. Ā Of course I am thinking of the 1950s. Ā I haven’t watched “Mad Men” yet (I know I am one of the last people on earth that hasn’t seen the show!) but I can appreciate the influence the show has had on fashion and style. Ā I love the longer hemlines (but err, not too long because I’m not that tall!) and fitted silhouettes. Ā But I think we keep revisiting this age for fashion influences because it created such classic pieces that celebrated the female form while still covering women up. Ā This balance is still one that most of us try to achieve, especially in professional settings.
I know fun pencil skirts, like this ASOS lace bonded oneĀ for $53, are still a wardrobe staple for me. Ā Do you have any fashion influences from the 1950s?
Have a lovely week!
OMG she is so hot.
I think the sheath dress made a debut in the 50’s? If so, I am still in love with that look.
Don’t forget my giveaway starts on April 1.

Beautiful editorial and I love the ASOS skirt you selected as well. I haven’t tried a longer hemline because I, too, am short, but I’d love to see if I (we) can pull it off!
she looks great!
Fantastic – the green dress shot. What a bombshell!
What an inspiring post. BTW Mad Men premeired last night with some delectable mid-sixties chic.

What a gorgeous layout! Perfect timing post-Mad Men premiere. š
Love this! Miranda is fabulous and I love 50s fashion. Also, I have so many pencil skirts in my wardrobe, I’ve lost count! š xoxo
I absolutely love this look and this is kind of the reason why I am tempted to chop my hair! I love this style and you would enjoy madmen š I love that show I’ve seen every episode!
Wow she looks amazing in this editorial! Very different from the style we usually see her in – thank you for sharing ! š
It’s true, this era has been so influential on style. I love how feminine and flirty it is, while being like you said, modest. Hehe don’t worry, I also haven’t watched Mad Men!
this and the 1940s/20s are my fave eras of fashion. they are fantastic. Love this spread as well
