My post yesterday that included the funny vintage graphics got me thinking of women back in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. I know I wasn't even "thought of" back then but I love to look at old pictures of women, all dressed up with their hair done up and pretty make-up on. It made me think a lot of my grandma; who I miss SO MUCH!! She always took such good care of herself. She always had her hair fixed and make-up on even if she was going to sit at home all day long. Her and I used to laugh that I got my "make-up obsession" from her. I am very particular about my make-up! I rarely leave the house with out something on, especially on my eyes. I look like a dead dog without any eye make-up on!! LOL Maybe one of these days, I'll get brave enough to do a before make-up and after photo of myself, just maybe!! I always tease Brian that I have to put on my "pretty face"- a.k.a. my make-up! I really do not feel like I look the same without it. SO... anyway I came across a site that showed vintage/mod dresses and fell in love with a couple of them. I love dresses but since I have had children, I feel like I cannot wear them:( My figure is very PEAR shaped now and I have gotten sooo many yucky spider and vericose veins on my legs too. YUCK! So I don't feel very "pretty" in a dress:( BOO-HOO! A sweet little black dress is usually always flattering though. I thought the one above was very cute and simple!!
Gotta love the pink/black combo. Of course, this has the toile look to it- which I am crazy about!!
This blue is very pretty! I don't usually go for blue, probably because I am surrounded by boys in my home, lol!!
Now this one would be my pick probably for the most flattering for my mommy body. Black, of course but the vertical stripes would elongate my body! Maybe? Where is Stacey London and Clinton Kelly from TLC's "What Not to Wear" when you need them?? LOL:)
I really love this one, but it'd have to be a lot longer!! Can't do the short dresses anymore with these thighs! Oh, the joys that motherhood brings to your body!! LOL My little monster boys were so worth it though! I wouldn't trade them for the nicest pair of legs in the world... or would I?? Hmmm... JUST KIDDING!
Is it just me or are there more and more "unclassy" dressed gals in the world today? I am so tired of seeing HUGE Boobs busting out of the tops of shirts, thong underwear hanging out when they bend over... and so on. This examples are of 2 gals I saw today while I was at my college. Honestly, they are leaving NOTHING to the male imagination!! When I had a nice body (pre-children), I used to show it off but I don't ever recall breaking out the "girls" or my undies for a free show!! LOL Sorry, I am in a silly mood tonite; just being a tad bratty so I hope this all doesn't offend anyone. Maybe I'm jealous? Naaaaah, no one would want to see my mommy undies anyway!!! Hope I got you all to chuckle a bit tonite!!
Love ya,
Noelle ♥
