Rockin' the Retro in Red...a la Young Modern



Red top - Jay Jays
Grey shorts - Valleygirl
Mary janes - Payless Shoes?
Capricorn necklace - Ginion S.A (de Belgique), a gift from my late Grand-Oncle
Hair tie w/ribbon - ? gift from my Godmother.
(Ring not shown - Michael Hill)

Jy weet, I suprise myself with the fact my clothes in this picture today were from such mainstream, mass-production type stores. Well, Ginion (a jewellery shop in Charleroi) excluded! Over-the-top 1960's-inspired makeup topped of my look for today. My hair a little messy, I tidied it up and changed shorts for black pants folded neatly to 3/4 length for the outing to Papa Duval's house for dinner.
I think for a slightly different look, I might wear a big bow in my hair/on my head (loli-style), and slightly more porcelain doll-like makeup (i.e: not so heavy handed on the liquid eyeliner!).
In winter I wear this outfit with black laceup boots, black velvet tie around the top of my shorts, and a black (or black + white striped) v-neck sweater for a Brigitte Bardot inspired look.



A close-up of my heavy-handed eyeliner and so on! Sort of a cross between Twiggy, Brigitte Bardot and the earlier 50's housewife look! Perhaps a modern toned-down goth!

Ah well, I am quite tired now (I can tell this mostly by the non-English terms and such creeping up on my sentences in a way that could be most perplexing to anyone else), and so to bed I must!
