Retro Hair: First Attempt + Shoeclip Giveaway!

Now, this outfit is just wrong: the colors are all kinds of feh together, nothing really matches. No, I'm lying, I actually think the socks look great with the shoes. But the dress, the belt and the socks+shoes: oh honey no. I should've gone with a beige, white or pale blue dress or even a pink one, but not this. HOWEVER, I'm going to post it anyway because it is the ideal intro for a different post I have in store for you guys. Let me explain: after falling hard for retro inspired make up and clothes, I'm exploring retro hairstyles. This is my very very first, modest attempt at a retro hairstyle. Victory rolls for sissies so to speak. It would have looked SO much better with some loose curls in my hair, but I didn't know how to go about to create that kind of look so I just kept it as it was. BUT, my frustration DID inspire me to go check out some retro haircurling options online... Alas, you'll have to be patient, but let me tell you: I have had a hair-epiphany and got LOADS of compliments today, so stay tuned for one of these days!

For now, my faulty outfit and fail-rolls, haha



Haha I totally made you expect something worse, right? The outfit isn't dreadful, is it? HA I'm a master of deception! Actually it's just kind of off, but since you expected me to basically be wearing shit-in-outfitform this looks comparatively nice, RIGHT? My plan worked, hohohoho

dress, socks: H&M
shoes: New Look


PS: have you noticed my ends being slightly more blond? That's because they are! I got a subtle haircut and put some more bleach in, AWESOME RITE

  2. Weer Lolitaish, hou erg van dat kleedje met bolletjes! Maar nog niet zo'n slechte combi, idd, gewoon scheiden.
    Blijven proberen voor uw haar, zeker met jouw lengte kan je veel kanten op! Ik probeer ook wat meer retro styles uit.
    En vandaag zag jouw haar idd heel erg leuk uit! ^^

  4. Amazing legs Annebeth ;) I love this outfit, nothing wrong with it! your hair is soooo long by the way, and love what you did with it. I've been wearing retro-inspired hairstyles for the entire summer but have been failing at taking any pictures of them and sharing. Some are ticky but so much fun to do, and they somehow make me want to wear red lippie ;)

  8. Shoe clips are such a great idea, you have the cute extra whenever you want but don't have to worry about it not matching w/ much, genius! Liked her page; my favs are the yellow bow, & the brass w/ black & turquoise ones! Certainly nothing wrong with your outfit, although I guess you could put a light belt to tight in the socks & shoes for summer, but certainly very cute as is!

  10. WOW, they are all gorgeous. However, I fell the hardest for number 8, the gold one with beautiful, swirling, aztec reminiscent designs. I feel like it's very versatile, and has such an interesting vintage and tribal feel to it!

  11. Those floral oxfords are super adorable with the little socks. I love them with your simple dotted dress. I really enjoy this outfit!

  12. Good on you for giving retro hair a go! I'm currently trying to vintage-ify my wardrobe, but hair is a much bigger challenge. I've got the length but not the skills! Your faux victory roll looks great, can't wait to see you try some other things :-)

  13. Waw, the idea of the shoeclips is frackin' amazing! LOVE the idea (hope she has patented it?). I would be thrilled to own nr. 17, 27 or 29.
    And yes, your psychological little trick worked and yes, I noticed your hair :)
    I don't feel comfortable just typing my e-mail right here, but I guess that when you click my name, it redirects?

  16. I love the dress and think the colors still match pretty well with the blue socks :) I did expect something way worse! You are pure writing evil ;-)

  18. De schoenen vind ik persoonlijk niet zo mooi, vooral in combinatie met de sokken, maar de rest is allemaal erg leuk vind ik! :)
    In verband met je leuke winactie: ik doe graag mee en zou heel erg blij zijn met clip 32! :) Ik heb Lelie's pagina geliked, het artikeltje over deze winactie en de foto's van de clip die ik graag zou winnen ook. Mijn FB naam is Nathalie Madsen.

    Liefs,
