<p>My go-to casual look when I'm feeling vintage is a Bettie Page black v-neck t-shirt, dark-wash skinny jeans, and leopard-print flats from Target.

<p>i like american apparel for jeans, especially, they have great high waisted jeans in lots of colors. only problem is sizing can sometimes be off when ordering online. they also have knit pencil skirts that are inexpensive. I try to stick with things that hit at the waist, if i'm looking for a vintage silhouette. you can tie a button down or a t shirt at the waist over high waisted jeans or a pencil skirt.

<p>i like american apparel for jeans, especially, they have great high waisted jeans in lots of colors. only problem is sizing can sometimes be off when ordering online. they also have knit pencil skirts that are inexpensive. I try to stick with things that hit at the waist, if i'm looking for a vintage silhouette. you can tie a button down or a t shirt at the waist over high waisted jeans or a pencil skirt. I have a few thrift store cardigans, vintage blazers & jackets, and the masiumi shrug from PUG that are staples. I love the vamp tops, they go with everything. ballet flats, oxfords or loafers are good if you don't want to wear heels. or riding boots if its cold out (or combat boots are cute if you lean a little to the punk side!) one of my favorite casual looks is a cute collared shirt peeking out of a cropped sweater. I like to dress casual outfits up a bit with brooches or other jewelry, like a brooch at the collar or lapel, or used to gather a t shirt at the waist. like another poster said, just stick to the classics, they'll be easier to mix and match into vintage looks. i think dark/thicker tights look a little more casual than stockings. scarves are always good - 3rd day hair i do a pomp with a bandanna or scarf around it. experiment with setting your hair, if you're into that - trial and error, if you don't like how one part came out just wrap that part differently the next night. but a little curl & body always gives you a bit more of that vintage look than straight hair. hmm, makeup.. I go pretty light on foundation, I usually mix a bit of foundation with a moisturizer or facial oil and some liquid highlighter for a dewy look. for eyes I use the limecrime primer, set with powder, then longcils boncza liquid liner and cake mascara. apart from being fabulously vintage in packaging, they work wonders and stay put. i don't do lipstains much, but I like a sheer but dark lipstick, theres even a covergirl one that looks like a big crayon, i've got it in a berry color.</p>
<p>ugh i think i'm starting to ramble... I hope this was somewhat helpful. always fun to share tips and see what you girls like to do as well!</p>

<p>I just wear a nice pair of jeans that fit me well and also a well fitting shirt that isn't too frumpy.It may not be "retro" but it's not exactly modern either. The most important thing for me is hair. I figure if my hair is styled well, I can go casual. Also red lipstick helps too. :)</p>

<p>I live in Colorado and it is COLD! So I do not wear any dresses this time of year. My uniform right now is dark wash skinny jeans with Iron Fist flats and a cute cardigan or sweater, I am always on the look out for anything cheetah for tops! On a casual day I usually have a high ponytail with a bumper bang or I put my bangs in a victory roll. I try not to go too dramatic on make up, so I will do up my eyes and just put on pink or light red lipstick. There ya go!!</p>

<p>Try to look for vintage style stuff at thrift shops, and I just found a couple of cute spring dresses on clearance at Forever 21. The clearance racks are the way to go right now because no one is shopping for dresses right now in the winter.</p> What's with the Michael Kors…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2012-10-30:6504043:Comment:1448292012-10-30T07:39:44.589ZSoozi Quhttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/SoozMann
