Fourth of July Riot

Happy Friday lovelies!! This week, I have for you my Independence Day outfit. Had a tiny photo shoot last Saturday for fun, and wanted to share them with you, along with one of my new The Original Bad Girl tops called the 'Riot' top. This top is the loveliest top I've ever set my mind on. It's comfortable, fits like a dream, and screams 1950's 'bad girl'. I can't to pair it with other pieces! I thought it'd be extra perfect for the fourth, although I don't have too many bottoms to work with the top all too well, I paired the top with my red shorts that are 'pinup' inspired but reproduction. I really do not like these shorts because they really do nothing for my butt or thighs. And not to mention that they really accentuate my stretch marks in between my inner thighs.

Top: The Original Bad Girl

Shorts: Sirens

Hair Flower: Made by yours truly.

Ring: Vintage and given to me by a friend. 

Bracelet: Given to me by my Ma.

Shoes: Payless Shoes, bought last July for $10. 

Pin: I actually have an American flag pin on my shirt (somewhat hard to see in these pictures) but its from the 1960's. 

Sunglasses: These cuties were actually purchased at Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, a dollar!

Sincerely, Miss. Voodoo.

Voodoo Thing: PUG Style

Happy Friday lovelies! And so the holiday weekend begins. I've been wanting to do this outfit for awhile now, just couldn't wait to do it any longer. This particular outfit is not necessarily one for the summer season, but one of my ideal autumn outfits. Guess I'm getting into the Halloween season four months early.

If I were to sum up my look or image into one outfit, this would definitely be it! It has that mystical voodoo vibe, with some thirties, fifties, and sixties inspiration.

I scored these beautiful shorts at Pinup Girl Clothing's online yard sale, as well as a shirt and dress (will be shown in later posts). Let me just say one thing about these purple and green harlequin shorts.....PERFECTION. I have never owned nor have I worn shorts as nice fitting, lovely shape and pattern, and comfortable to boot. Oh, and I absolutely love this color combo, especially with purple being my favorite color.

Black Velvet Turban: The Original Bad Girl

Necklace: Given to me by a friend. It is from the 1950's/1960's.

Long Sleeved Black Top: Given to me by my cousin.

Green Brooch: Was my great grandmother's from the 1930's.

Shorts: Pinup Girl Clothing

Gold Bracelet: Was my Mother's.

Boots: Also were my Mother's.

I think this is my favorite outfit that I've put together thus far. I believe everything works so well together, and the color's are so flattering (to me, anyway). Hope you enjoyed this outfit, and I can't wait to continue to share more outfits like this in the future!

Sincerely, Miss. Voodoo.

Rock-A-Hula, Rock, Rock-A-Hula, Rock-A-Hula, ROCK!

Happy Friday lovelies!!! This weeks post is a 'Hawaiian' themed outfit. As I've said in one of my last posts about my spring/summer inspirations, one of my summer inspirations was the whole Hawaiian themed outfits. Well, I've been saving this one of a kind shirt and skirt piece, straight from Honolulu: or so it says on the label. I scored this beauty at one of my local thrift stores back in the winter season. I've been saving it for spring and summer, as its pastel colors are perfect for warm weather!

When I first saw this piece, I immediately thought of Elvis Presley's film, "Blue Hawaii." One of my favorite songs from that film was 'Rock-A-Hula'. 

"Got a hula lulu, from Honolulu."

"The way she moves her hips to her fingertips, I feel I'm heaven bound. And when she starts to sway, I've gotta say, she really moves the grass around."

Outfit piece: Thrifted for $6. This piece is from the 1980's, but, it has a vintage feel to it. 

Shoes: Call it Spring, $20. 

Accessories: Vintage bracelet from a friend, 1950's. Brooch also from a friend, 1940's/1950's. 

Belt: Thrifted, $3. 

Bag: Given to me by my grandmother, its from the 1960's. But, there is a brand that makes purses' very similar to this one. It's called, "Sun Jellies" 

Magazine: Bought at a local Antique Store, $10. 

There were a lot of photos taken, it was hard for me to choose a couple, so I narrowed it down as best as I could. I just had way too much fun with this! I also was able to encourage my sister to take the pictures for me - huh, I think she's missed her calling. Hopefully she will be able to do this for me for the rest of my future blog posts!
