My Vintage Tea Party
Ramblings and Reviews From a Lover of Tea and All Things Vintage
Hello, readers! While I was browsing through Facebook this morning I stumbled upon a 28 day vintage and pinup fashion "challenge." I have seen these in various forms-- one of my friends did/is doing a 30 day Lolita challenge-- but I have never felt that I had the discipline to keep one up myself. With that said, I highly doubt I will be able to do this one perfectly, but they will serve as inspiration for blog posts! Day one is: Intro and style inspiration. While I don't think an intro is necessary, I will share two of my biggest sources of style inspiration. 1. Queen Elizabeth II Yes, Her Majesty The Queen in the late 1940s and 1950s is probably who I look up to the most when it comes to style. I also look up to her in the present day because she is the very definition of class and grace. She keeps her personal life private, and when she is seen in public she never fails to look regal and polished. I could go on and on about why I admire her so much, but this is about fashion! Here are some photographs from around the times I find her outfits to be most inspirational. As you can see, her outfits were breathtaking. She was and is everything a lady should be! I aim to be every bit of a lady that she is, and any time someone tells me I look like young Elizabeth, it makes my heart happy. 2. Dita Von Teese The Queen of Burlesque! Dita's day to day outfits inspire me to put effort into my appearance. You will never see her in a pair of torn up jeans, leggings and Uggs, or over sized t shirts. She always dresses like a lady (when not on stage of course!), and whenever I need ideas on how I can incorporate more casual vintage looks into my wardrobe, I look to her. I have always admired her ability to look completely flawless and vintage while not always going over the top. Here are some of her more toned down looks for when she is going about her regular daily routine (what I have come to understand is called her "street style") and not glam-ing it up for the evening: And there we have it! Day 1 of the vintage and pinup challenge. It is yet to be determined how many of the 28 I will actually get around to, but stay tuned to find out!
