The influence of 1950s Americana is undeniable in the fashion industry. It’s in the attitude and it’s in the fabrics. Which is why for this outfit post we’re tipping our hats to rockabilly and the pin up girls of yesterday.

We’ve been into gingham lately and wanted to find a variety of looks that we could play with this fabric. So for this outfit we did a 1950s pin up girl approach to it with the red and white gingham flowing dress and oversized belt.

The upper half of the dress has such a great bustier shape that is very flattering to the figure and also reminds us of the bathing suits pin up girls use to wear back in the day. And we thought that the red patent leather belt is the perfect cherry on top to the whole look.

There are so many fashion rules to live. So is it fashion over function or function over fashion? Well, I never quite follow the rules anyways so why not go with both!

There’s no fashion craze that should be too bold for us to try. Which is why the heels over socks look is a trend we’re not shying away from. Apart from the fact that it’s extremely fashion forward and eye catching, the comfort factor alone is convincing enough for us to get behind this movement.

Rocking a pair of socks under your heels can turn a formal heal casual or a casual heal formal depending on how you style it. Give it a try! It’s a great opportunity to work in some great textures, bold colors or prints into your look.

Many designers are starting to turn to simplicity for inspiration as they turn to classic fabrics and more natural looking materials to work with. But something simple can also be dynamic.

It can sometimes be hard to find a good outfit that keeps you looking refreshing against the harsh sun. Which is why all white looks and light cotton fabrics are a season essential.

Cotton summer dresses with dynamic details is a closet must have. For example this white cotton poplin dress. Simple at first glance but the poplin cotton is cool to the touch and the button closure resemble something classic.

Though the details of the tied bows just off the shoulder is the icing on the cake. Its the perfect flare the dress needs, making it look extremely chic and modern.

We decided to keep it simple with the accessories and tried to play with organic and natural looking accessories like this woven bamboo bag and platform sneakers with a natural straw sole.
