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.

Outfits of the Day in Weeks.

I haven't been sharing my outfits lately, so here are my latest outfits with details.

This is a quick and comfortable outfit. I just took one of my many James Dean shirts and paired it with black high waisted pants, a vintage white belt, and vintage style cardigan.

Cardigan: Thrift store, maybe paid $4.

Shirt: James Dean Gallery (Fairmount, IN), paid $13 or $15? 

Pants: Bestemor's closet. 

Belt: Bestemor's closet. 

Accessories: All of my jewelry including earrings and bracelets were passed down to me from my Mum. 

Another quick outfit - I was feeling very simple this day and was lusting after Spring to arrive. 

Cardigan: Thrift store, $2. 

Dress: Thrift store, $6. 

Shoes: Wal-Mart, $5. 

Accessories: Jewelry that was given to me for Christmas. 

This was the day of my Grandfather's birthday, and in memory of him, I wanted to go for a "Western" styled outfit since he had a love for Western films. I really loved putting this outfit together. 

Blouse: Thrift store, not sure of the amount I paid. 

Bolero: My Mum's closet, she bought this in the early 1980's when she was living in Calgary. 

Skirt: Thrift store, $6.

Accessories: Again, all jewelry was from my Mum.

James Dean's birthday outfit. Simple, yet still has that 1950's look. 

Cardigan: Thrift store, $4. 

Shirt: James Dean Gallery, $14. 

Accessories: My buttons were purchased at the James Dean Gallery and were around $1 - $4. My bracelets are from my Mum, and earrings were given to me by a friend.

Another simple outfit - super comfy. 

Shirt: Received by a friend. 

Pants: Bestemor's closet.

Accessories: Received by friends.

This is probably my favorite look so far this year. I wanted to wear all pink for Valentines Day coming up. It was an amazing early 1960's look that I always try to emulate. I felt like a mixture of early Ann-Margret, Sandra Dee in Gidget, and Elizabeth Montgomery in the early years of Bewitched. 

Shirt: Thrift store, am unsure of the price I paid. 

Pants: Bestemor's closet. 

Belt: Thrift store, $2. 

Shoes: Wal-Mart, $10. 

Accessories: Bracelet and earrings from a friend.  

My second favorite look. I went for more of a red look, the day before Valentine's Day. I wanted to try a black sash, and once I did, I loved how it reminded me of a matador. 

Shirt: Hot Topic, $15. 

Pants: Bestemor's closet. 

Accessories: Received from my Mum. 

This was my Valentine's Day outfit. I wasn't sure if I should wear pink or red, but I decided on this new-to-me dress from the early 60's. I've been dying to wear it, so I thought what better than to wear it for Valentines. 

Dress: Thrift store, $6. 

Cardigan: Thrift store, $2. 

Shoes: Wal-Mart, $5. 

Accessories: Bracelet from Icing, $2. Belt from thrift store, $2. Scarf from thrift store, $1.
