How to Dress Like a Plussize Pinup Bombshell, part 2

Hello Bombshells! I hope you all took my advice and rocked a headscarf and some red lipstick today to start your conversion to a bonafide bombshell! Now, I’m going to move on to the clothes and share some tips for injecting a little glamour into our everyday look. Every day this week, I’ll be posting another tip…and will illustrate them with adorable pieces from my Gwynnie Bee closet. Gwynnie Bee is the perfect way to try out new styles and play with fashion, so check it out if you haven’t already! Now, on to the tips!

#2 Wear animal prints

No
really. Animal prints are sexy and classic. Dior introduced leopard
print fabrics in his Spring 1947 collection, and since then, it’s been
associated with an exotic, feminine sexiness and total bombshell-hotness!

You can’t get more glamorous than vintage Dior, right? So take note and add a little (or a
lot!) of leopard print into your wardrobe.

This adorable SWAK Maggie Crinoline leopard print halter dress is purrrrfectly on point for a retro-inspired bombshell look. (If you have a Gwynnie Bee account, find it here.) Navy Pier was the perfect place to flaunt this classic pinup dress!

This adorable dress features a halter neckline (great for accentuating those bombshell curves!) and ties at the shoulder–which makes it adjustable for a number of body types. Tie it high or low to make the bodice fit correctly! The seaming at the waist cinches you in and creates that retro silhouette that we’re going for. The A-line skirt lays perfectly over the hips, and it even has netting underneath to help the skirt flare out in a fun and flirty way.

I couldn’t resist doubling up on the leopard print–pairing the dress with these fun yellow wedges that I found at Akira a few years ago. Gold accessories complete the look.

I felt so flirty and sassy in this dress! Next time you want to up your pinup game, choose leopard print–or another animal print–and strut your stuff, beautiful!
