Vintage Vixen the 1950s style pinup girl: A retro girl's guide to life in high heels: Waves, Hurricanes and Walking on Sunshine

A guide to style and good tailoring

Hi welcome to my own unique perspective on what constitutes style and individualism. The vast majority of the photos are taken using a mobile phone camera and I have no make up on.......

I'm in my late 30's and I'm also a widow which probably explains why I look so god damn hot in black, well that and being an ivory skinned pale red head! It also documents my wardrobe, so many people seem fascinated by my clothes and compliment me for how I look wearing them.

It is one woman's campaign against Jeans, Tracksuits and Ugg Boots!

More importantly it's about altering your view on life and trying to do the right thing even though it isn't always the easiest.

This blog is a story in taking pride in yourself and not letting yourself go, or settling for second best because you know what girls? No one really is better than someone if they don't treat you like a Queen................

Waves, Hurricanes and Walking on Sunshine

Today's dress is called Katrina. She generally comes with waves, or a hurricane not to mention the ability to walk on sunshine.

She has a really interesting neckline and collar which doesn't photograph well at all and a cute little built in polka dot tie. It is an Aline rather than a pencil skirt but has been a stalwart in my wardrobe for over 5 years. You can't go wrong with Katrina she stands the test of anything.

It reminds me of a quote from a man on telly who was caught by hurricane Katrina he said, "I survived 4 tours in Vietnam, and being married to a red head for over 30 years, this is nothing!"
