How to Dress Like a Plussize Pinup Bombshell, part 1

Bombshell. Who doesn’t want to be called that?? It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with the retro pinup looks of the 40s and 50s…This era of fashion is just so perfect for girls with curves. It’s all about a womanly silhouette, and accentuates curves instead of hiding them. I think we all need a little bit more retro glamour in our lives, so this week, I’m going to give you 5 tips for dressing like a bombshell. Get ready!!!!

#1 Wear a headscarf when traveling
Seriously, scarves are sadly underused and underrated in today’s society. Pinup girls knew how to rock a headscarf for real. Pick one in a shade that really complements your eyes and complexion. Wrap it loosely around your neck and tie it in the back. Make sure it’s not too tight–It should frame your face beautifully. Also…throw some adorable sunnies on, and you will bring a little retro glamour into your day commute.
