Dressing like a plussize pinup doesn’t have to be all serious and sexy. It can be flirty, girly and fun!
#4: Be playful with your clothes and wear bright, bold accessories.
The way I see it, the pinup look celebrates the girly girl on the go. Bombshells are always out having fun…or on their way to having fun. From the clothes, to the hair, to the accessories–this look exudes a playful brightness and smacks of confidence.
When I saw this sweet Cherry Velvet purple polka dot shift dress in my Gwynnie Bee closet, I immediately felt a jolt of girly pleasure. (If you have a Gwynnie Bee account, find it here. If not, what are you waiting for?!). I knew the perfect place to wear it…on a carousel ride!
I LOVE carousels!! Can you tell by my happy glow?
Hello bombshells-in-training! Today is the third part of my five-part series on how to optimize those curves by adding a little pinup glamour into your wardrobe! All of the outfits I’m featuring this week are from my Gwynnie Bee closet. Jealous??? (You don’t have to be! See what it’s all about here.)
#3: Wear red
Red is hot. Red is powerful. Red is sexy. But it can sometimes be hard to pull out that gorgeous red dress and wear it on an ordinary Wednesday. Well wait no more! Put that dress on today.
Case-in-point. See Dita Von Teese? She’s sporting a hot red dress AND leopard print accessories. *Swoon.
If head-to-toe red is too much to start with, focus on red details and accessories. And don’t forget to break out that red lipstick! This adorable SWAK Lizzie Collar Dress (Add it your Gwynnie Bee closet now) is exactly what a bombshell-in-training should be wearing!
The adorable deep v neck of this dress is framed by a wide notched collar with darling red piping. That red piping is really what sets this black dress apart and makes it pinup worthy! It’s made of the lightest soft cotton and has a tie at the waist that you can cinch to define your shape. Add red pumps, accessories and lipstick, and you’re on your way to pinup perfection!
I LOVE Ferris Wheels, and couldn’t pass up the chance to take some snaps while high up over the city!
What do you think? Are you ready to wear red???

It’s Friday…and I’m celebrating by wearing the brightest, shiniest, most amazing rainbow sequin skirt from ASOS Curve! When I saw it in the Gwynnie Bee New Arrivals section, I was hypnotized by the shiny happy lights and absolutely had to try it. And no, I didn’t wait for the right occasion to wear it…I decided that today was the day to throw myself a TGIFabulous party!
This skirt–to put it mildly–is FIERCE. How can you NOT make a statement in rainbow sequins?? To really let the skirt shine, I paired it with a simple black Tshirt and cinched it with a magenta belt. (Btw. I believe this is the first time I’ve worn a Tshirt in public since 7th grade. If you’re going to wear a Tshirt…at least make it part of a memorable outfit!)
Pop the look with some bright fun pumps and colorful accessories, and people will be dancing to the music you’re making with those sequin-bedecked hips!
What are you waiting for? Throw on a party skirt and meet me for happy hour!

When I put it in my Gwynnie Bee closet, I wasn’t quite sure if I could rock it…but when I saw the crazy fabulous print, I knew it was the perfect dress for my mood.
