Feminine Fashion Week {Day 7} - 1960s Inspired

-What I'm Wearing-

Brown Polka-dot Sun Dress - Made by me for my HS Graduation {seen here}

Brown Sweater - Kohl's {Hand-me-down from Gabrielle}

Pink Tights - J.C. Penny {$4.99}

Brown T-Strap Kitten Heels - Naturalizers {Don't remember it was several years ago.}

Pearl Earrings - Gift

I love this dress! The sad thing is, I had a hard time putting on my dress this morning. I'm so worried about tonight. What if I can't get it off?!? I think this means I've grown out of my dress. :( Hopefully this isn't so. As it is my favorite dress ever!! {I think.} As this dress is sleeveless I add the sweater for a more winter look. I think it brings the outfit a more 60s flair. And my hair was fixed into a relaxed {more modern} flip, aka. Mary Tyler Moore. 

Now my dear readers, I'm excited to announce that my 1960s hair tutorial is now up on Vimeo {YouTube has a 10 minute limit and the tutorial is 15 minutes long}.

Well, today my time was spent in my room - cleaning. You know, the garbage bag kinda of cleaning. :) It was my pre-spring/After New Year's & Christmas cleaning day.

This is what I wore for the fourth day of Natasha's fashion week. The day was spent trying to figure out how to put in the sleeves of my 1780s dress. I finally figured it out - at least I hope I did. :) I also filmed the tutorial for the 1960s hairstyle I've worn in the past two days. I'll be editing the video tonight and tomorrow. So the video should be up soon. :)

And once again the same 1960s hairstyle as yesterday. :) 

Today was the first day of work in the new year. It also marks the first time I wore my skirt this winter.{I sewed the skirt last winter.} I tend to wear certain clothes the first half of cold weather {Oct-Dec}, from the second half {which is now, Jan-March or April}.  It helps me from getting tired of my clothes. 

It's hard to believe that today is the third day of Natasha's Feminine Fashion Week. If you want to join in there is still time. :)

Also I'll be filming the 1960s hair tutorial sometime this week, hopefully tomorrow, or next week. :)

Black & White Polka-dot Jacket - Kohl's {$13.80}

Jeans - J.C. Penny's {$17}

Here it is, the second day of Natasha's fashion week. Today my inspiration was this polka-dot jacket and my 1960s hairstyle. Though, to me at least, my hair is screaming for a LBD (Little Black Dress) with a boat neckline (a.k.a Audrey Hepburn). Alas, I don't own one, or have any black fabric in my stash. I do have fabric to recreate the jumper below, that Audrey Hepburn wears in the movie Sabrina {1954}.

Oh, once I master this hairstyle I will do a tutorial for all of you. I just need raise the back more. As it doesn't look very 60s in the front. :) Here's more pictures of my hair.

Jeans - J.C. Penny's {$17}

Brown Boots - Target {$15 after gift card ;-)}

Military inspired Wool Coat - Target {$17}

As I was thinking on where I bought everything I realized something. Everything was bought for under $20 each. Thanks to great sales, clearance racks {I LOVE these!}, and a gift card.  

This afternoon my Mom and I went shopping. At Kohl's I picked up a black & white polka-dot jacket/spring coat for $13 on the clearance racks. We also ran into the grocery store to pick up some things and I bought some supplies to fix our hair into vintage styles. Like a rattail comb, Bed Head Manipulator, and double prong clips. 

Oh, and today is the first day of Natasha's Feminine Fashion Week. =)
