So anyone can easily get all gussied up in their best PUG threads and their face and hair all done up. But what about casual looks. This I have a hard time with. Does anyone have pics or tips for day to day vintage. Like for hair, makeup, accessories, and especially outfits. Can't exactly afford to buy all my separates from PUG, Bettie Page, etc and the stores at the mall these days aren't exactly selling mass amounts of vintage style clothing. So what do you do?

My casual style is as simple as skinny jeans, tank top, cardigan and ballet flats. Basic makeup, blush and mascara. High pony tail and maybe a ribbon for the hair. I also used to have a hard time with casual style, especially in winter, until I just looked at what kind of winter vintage was available, then adapted it to suit my tastes.

I just love THE jumpsuits from a dutch label named very cherry. They are super comfy and stunning. Www.verycherry.nl check the new arrived section.
I find my casual pieces everywhere and anywhere. Try and look for styles that are "vintage inspired". I love running around in cuffed jeans and cute tee or tank and cardigans! I am a cardigan nut lol ;) forever 21 now has a couple of real cute floral ones that can go with your dresses as well. Chucks r great, ballerina flats are my staple and can be found anywhere now, for this summer my go too were some great gladiator sandals. (not ur typical strapped crazy ones but I found some nice vintage looking ones also at forever 21)
Makeup is my basic everyday red lip or some time pink or nude and my black winged liner.
Hair pony tails, like the gals were saying, are easy. Adding flowers or scarves are the easiest ay to amp up ur everyday attire too.
What's with the Michael Kors outlet online tag in all of your posts?

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!!

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.

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. :)
