This OOTD revolves around a dress that was one of my first vintage buys verrry early on in high school (9th or 10th grade, I think). It's a red boucle unlined belted shift from the late 50s-early 60s, and it's one of my favorite pieces of clothing ever.
Dress: Vintage, no label (I think it may have been homemade)
Long-sleeved t-shirt: Coldwater Creek, sz. small
Tights: Merona, sz. small/medium
Shoes: Nine West Riane, sz. 7.5
Necklace: Vintage
This is one of those outfits that really can be made or broken with makeup, so broke out of my routine and went for a '50s-inspired demure pinup look (I know that's an oxymoron, but I AM a teacher, so I gotta tone it down a bit). I did a black cat-eye liner with a bold red lip and kept the rest of my face pretty plain. I'd like to think it worked, but since my only audience was a bunch of 14-16 year-olds, I'm not sure that they got the allusion. Heck, I'm not sure they could even tell me what an allusion is, even though it was a vocabulary word for about a month. Sigh.
Do you use makeup to complement your "look," or do you have a set makeup routine?
