Pixie does 40s

The decade I've been most nervous about pulling off with my pixie is the 40s but I finally decided to take the plunge and see if I could rock it!


It was unseasonably warm so I pulled out this vintage 40s dress for one last hurrah before the cold set in.


While this sort of pixie definitely isn't period, I think it looks super cute!


My husband was taking Christmas photos for clients but I made him take some shots playing around on the set!


The good news is that this set up is at my church so I'll have a good backdrop for photos for the whole Christmas season!


I really love the cut of 40s dresses. The skirts are so swooshy without being bulky like 50s skirts can be.


I just love the darling print on this dress! It's almost as cute as my hair!

Is there a decade that you are afraid of wearing? Be bold and believe in yourself and you can do it!

  2. Well, technically the pixie isn't period correct. BUT there were some nonconformist ladies {I'd probably be one of them, cause I've always done crazy things with my hair} who chopped it off into a boy cut. For an instance, Sophie Scholl. And in the Regency period Jane Austen's niece Fanny chopped her hair off into a boy cut/pixie. I'm sure she stood out. :)

  3. You hair is so darling that it really has the ability to blend into the overall look of most any era - especially when partnered with clothes as lovely as this classic 40s dress.
