Pinup on a budget

Aloha everyone, so I wore this super cute outfit the other day and I thought I’d do a little post about it since everything I wore was on a budget, it just goes to show you don’t have to spend big money to look pinup.

The skirt I adore as it has got pineapple print all over it and as everyone knows by now I love pineapples. I picked up this skirt at Primark last summer and it was only around £12, they had some great circle skirts in last year so I really hope they bring them back this year too! I paired it with this cute striped bardot top that I got recently at Primark, I know everyone is going crazy for these at the moment as they are only £3.50 and they have a big selection of colourways. I love these bardot tops not only because they are so cheap but they are very versatile, so if you have access to a Primark I’d recommend getting down there and snagging one. For my shoes I put on my go to shoes at moment my TK Maxx anchor pumps which I talked about in my last post. I also decided to throw on a cute vintage headscarf to give the outfit that finishing look, I love these headscarves you can find them in a lot of vintage shops or on the market as I discovered a few weeks ago, they are normally sold at the stands for "older ladies" but I love these stands as they sell vintage style nighties and really good stockings!

Well there you have it, a perfect pinup outfit on a super cheap budget. Thanks for reading Guys and Dolls I hope you enjoyed it x

Pinup outfit - Cute and Casual

Aloha everyone, so I had a cute and causal look the other day as I was going out for a walk with family, I didn't want to wear anything too fancy and I thought it would be a good opportunity to show girls what they could wear if they don't want to wear anything too dressed up but still want a pinup vibe.

This outfit was on a budget too which is great, the jeans I picked up at New Look, I picked them because they are high waisted which I love and I really liked the colour of them as they are a brighter blue than most jeans. I also tend to roll my jeans up at the bottom to give them that retro vibe. I paired it with a cute striped bardot top from Primark and on whim I decided to turn this outfit into a nautical theme so I also put on this super cute cardigan which was from Primark too, it's hard to see from the picture but it is covered in cute little anchors.

Following the nautical theme I also wore these amazingly cute pumps that I picked up at TK Maxx, I love how you can find pinup inspired clothes at the most unlikely places. These are super comfy and are now my go to shoes and the anchors print is adorable!

So I'm absolutely mad about bags, they are my favourite accessory so this was my favourite item in my outfit. I think this is one of my favourite bags ever, I picked it up in an amazing vintage shop in Hebden Brdge in Yorkshire called Lucy and the Caterpillar Boutique. It was love at first sight when I walked into this shop its just full of vintage treasures and the bag really stood out to me. It's an original 1950s unused box bag that had the original receipt with it. Its in perfect condition and I love the colour. Its so beautiful and one of my favourite vintage items to date.
