My own style is nowadays constantly being influenced by old times! I just love it and can't get enough :) Love some of my vintage pieces, but of course also my timeless clothes along with a few modern sexy accessories.
 |
| With a classy dress and shoes you don't really need anything else than some jewelry and makeup. I like this picture because you can feel the old, classy and modern at the same time |
By mixing something old with new you can really get an extremely personal & unique style! I warmly recommend to try <3
Moreover vintage pieces have a couple of other great advantages as well: You can, first of all, be pretty sure that nobody's got the same clothes. Secondly, vintage pieces just last forever and they are worth repairing!
Right now I'm inspired a bit inspired by medieval fashion and extremely inspired by the fashion of the 1940s.
 |
| Inspired by 40's sophisticated and elegant style with a bit of a modern bling bling |
 |
| Love this top, it's at the same time both revealing and concealing. |
The medieval style is interesting, fascinating and mysterious! It mixes perfectly the dramatic with luxury. It dares to be honestly gorgeous and mighty. The style is very heavy, but I like to mix heavy fashion with lighter materials. Adore the metallics! Here some inspiration from the modern catwalk inspired by medieval times :)
 |
| The shapes are great! (hourglass), and especially the dresses inspire to be feminine |
 |
| I love especially the dress on the left: Metallic, unsymmetrical and it falls just perfectly on the body |
The forties is really hot right now and I just couldn't be happier! The style suits my body perfectly! It's simple, elegant, feminine and sexy. In my opinion most important about a simple style are the shape and cut!
 |
| Sophisticated, fancy, sexy and ladylike! |
 |
| I think that this kind of style suits many women, because it makes that desirable hourglass figure. The forties style is also great if you are smaller at the top part of your body. The sleeves and/or the shoulder pads make your shoulders wider and your legs look smaller. |
 |
| Here you can see the perfect hourglass shape! The pencil skirt is great if your legs are short and it also suits petite women, because it brings you curves. It's also very safe, if you don't feel like showing your legs! |
 |
| Aww, I just love those sleeves! |
 |
| And the perfect trench coat! This is so classy and gorgeous. Try to find your own. |
 |
| This kind of skirt is not for everyone. Espesially not for a pearshape. But the shoulder pads and sleeves giver a great balance to the tail |
A few gorgeous role models of the time:
The stunning actress Rita Hayworth
 |
| The style of the 40's is perfectly feminine, classy, stylish and sexy in a sophisticated way! |
 |
| The style can be described as waist-emphasizing, concealing enough, but tight. The waist line is a bit higher than the bellybutton, but it's great if you want to lengthen your legs! :) |
Rita on the modern catwalk:
 |
| Just love the sleeves, the pencil skirt and the shapes and cuts! |
 |
| Rita's style: simple beauty, sophistication and elegance! (except the shoes :)). I would add to this some modern sexy high heel shoes, a luxurious handbag and my most lovable blingbling- earrings! |
Movie-, tv-actress and pin-up model Veronica Lake:
 |
| I just love Veronica's unique style, sexiness and self-confidence! |
 |
You can see that Veronica is really proud to be a woman and wants to enjoy the best of it!
40's MUST HAVES!!!
"Wrapped"dress (Finnish: kietaisumekko tai kietaisumekkoa muistuttava mekko):
This kind of wrapped dress suits everyone, because it's adjustable, creates shapes and evens bumps. It falls perfectly on every body! |
Gloves and Scarves !
I love especially the laced ones... <3 I'm really obsessed with these :D
A scarf of silk is a definite must have for both men and women! And you don't have to wear it on the neck ;) Be creative and try for example to wear it on your neckline, around your head or in your purse to show off a bit of elegance
 |
| The scarf brings something extra to Kim's ordinary outfit! |
 |
| If you look like the model, wear the scarf like this ;D |
Remember not to copy another person's style, make it your own! Find pieces YOU like, that suit YOU, look good and are beautiful on YOU and make YOU feel comfortable. The material is really important, because even a beautiful piece can be left unused if it doesn't feel good on you. Find your own thing in every period and mix it with classy and/or modern fashion.
