Blouse: Vintage via Bombshell Vintage in Portland, OR
Skirt: Thrifted. It’s currently my favorite skirt, so you’ve seen it before, and you’ll be seeing it again.
Shoes: Vintage via Seconds to Go
Hair: By Kimberly at Wak Shack

I couldn’t stop smiling after I got my hair done.   I still have a ridiculous grin on my face.  Leading up to the appointment I was nervous and excited like I was about to lose my virginity.  This was my first time at this salon with a new stylist, but luckily Kimberly was super knowledgeable.  She looked at the photos I brought in (which was essentially my hair blog post) and told me what she recommended I go with–something in between Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night and Claudette Colbert in Cleopatra.  She showed me tricks on how to blow dry my bangs better, how to style my new ‘do, and she even told me about all the best places to find good vintage in the Bay Area!  So not only am I excited about using wave clips, I’m stoked about going to the next flea market in Alameda.  I’m currently on the lookout for a vintage hood dryer.

    You seriously look like you’ve stepped out of one of my favorite 1950’s paper doll comics. I love you!

    Yay! That is totally the look I’m going for. 1950s 2-dimensional.
    I love you!
