1960's Inspiration

The charity Shop I volunteer in is moving to a bigger premises and were having some Open day celebrations and all the staff are dressing up 1960's Rockabilly style. Now's about the time I would like to mention I was born in 1995 and therefore have zero knowledge about the 60's but after doing some research I think I may have found a new style genre for me. I'm all for dressing up so I'm extremely excited about the day and want to do the 1960's justice so here are so of my inspirations.

                                                              Dress





Bit of a blue theme. I LOVE the petticoats under the dresses perfect for swooshing around. .emm or more appropriately dancing to some good old swing music.

                                                                   Hair

A good beehive is a perfect style for any occasion but they sure know how to do it back in the 60's, I'm still working on getting mine to this height. I think adding a hair ribbon or scarf finishes of the look completely by adding that touch of colour and real 60's vibe. 

Make up



I've never seen 60's make up like this before but I absolutely love it. The dark line in the crease is actually a really smart way of opening up your eyes and giving that dramatic dark colour.

Shoes

These are not just 60's shoes the brogues on the left are everywhere right now. I think there perfect little daytime shoes adding a touch of glamour. 

Okay I'm totally in love with the 60's now and can't wait to get all glammed up.
What are your favorites about the 60's?? let me know in the comments .
