How to Dress like a Plussize Pinup Bombshell, part 4

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!

How could you not have fun in this outfit??

I’m a sucker for cute polka dots!!

This silhouette is a fairly simple sleeveless shift dress that hits right at the knee. It has seaming at the waist and bodice which adds a little structure and helps the skirt flare out a bit. The polka dot print is so sweet and flirty, while the extra detail of the keyhole in the back adds another fun element to this dress! If you’re quite chesty like me, the bodice might be a little snug–so wear a good bra that lifts the girls high!
