Ok....I have a personal obsession with the rockabilly pin up look. Achat just doesn't have anything close enough really, but I've tried! Think red, white, blue and black, some animal print. Think vintage and cherries , polkadots, plaid and sailors. Think rock n roll! Think high waists, pedal pushers, chunky heels, tulle, and garters! Think victory rolls, black eyes, red lips and tattoos. Think drop dead sexy! I think just a few small tweaks to some styles and we've got it...maybe my next project!
This is what she things of my attempts!
The first here is my favorite, where I've done more detail and will describe the accessories.
The Outfit:
red and white bra - Sexy Valentine's Day Costume A$199
blue jean daisy dukes A$19
white hip girdle with garter stockings - Tight's Fits 20's lingerie set A$299 (the more expensive one isn't as mix and matchable)
Platform heals-black with red sole A$49
Cost of outfit: A$566
Idea 2:
The outfit:
black 'tunic" Sexy Black dress from Marilyn's Fashion Designs A$229
leopard print 'hotpants' leggings A$89
Black Mary Jane heels- lovely uniform (sailor look) A$ 149
Cost of outfit: A$467
Ideas 3 and 4. Not my fave...kind of stretching it. The first plays off the midriff tied shirt with hotpants, and the 2nd a sailor look
Number 1:
tied top -Texas Girl A$219
hotpants- Sexy Brown Set A$239
(didn't show shoes but pretty sure I did the black and red platforms from the first look)
Cost of outfit (minus shoes) A$458
Outfit 2:
Clubwear dress A$129
white stockings with red bow garter - Sexy costume set from dirtyElena A$319
(not shown) red high heeled Mary Jane shoes (I can't seem to remember which set these came with, but I think it was one of the Mrs Claus style Christmas outfits)
Cost of outfit: A$448
Now the body and accessories I did the same throughout the look. The hair I'm hoping looks like a couple of little barrel rolls. It's A$149 (short black hairstyle)
The dark eyed and red lip free make up and default red fingernails are perfect for this look and cost nothing!
total cost of body A$149
Accessories too are on the cheap side since rockabilly jewelry is usually fairly simple (good thing since the outfits are loud!)
I used the free tattoos for the arm and both ankles.
Silver and rubin earrings A$39
Black glasses A$129
free silver necklace
(optional) silver anklet: A$99
Cost of accessories $168
