It all started when I was looking to change my whole wardrobe to a more classy, feminine, modest, “I want to look my age” kind of deal. So might as well age gracefully and be stylish.

Our culture now is going full circle. Old rules but new trends just blend seemingly together. Diving into this glamorous wardrobe has many advantages.
This style flatters it’s host no matter what your shape and size may be.
Having the A-line cut, gives your figure the hour glass look even if you don‘t have one. The red dress with polka dots will make traffic stop as you strut the cherry red high heels.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton John had no idea that their fashion legacy would live on. I would have never thought that I would ever be caught wearing my mom’s clothes from her generation. But now I just love the fact that she was a pack rat when it came to fashionable clothing.
This genre of clothing evokes the feminine image. It’s fun, ready to wear and playful. How I wish I lived in this era….
Some of the common pieces in this wardrobe is the belt located at the high part of the waist. Then you have the Red high heels the most treasured jewel of Rockabilly wear.
