Wordless Wednesday Rockabilly Chic


I'm linking up today with of of my favorite blog friends, the gorgeous Daphne of Flip Flops and Pearls.  If you weren't around last Friday, you missed the thoughtful linkup that her and Julie from Brown Eyed Belle created for my novel release.  Daphne has become one of my favorite people, and I hope you will head over and check out her wonderful blog.

You might not know, but I love rockabilly style.  If you're not sure what that is, imagine a vintage pin up girl with red lips, a Rosie-the-Riveter bandana, pedal pusher pants, and adorable hair.  The look combines country and rock.  Think Elvis meets Bettie Page?  I wish I could pull off the look, or even just the red lipstick for that matter!  Here are some images that show the look.  What do you think?

LOVE Rockabilly style... i used to actually dress like that and wear bandannas with my blunt bangs... oh i miss those days. I am actually kind of excited that the look is becoming popular again.

The entire look in the first pic is Perfection. I wish I could pull off the Rosie the riveter scarf. I love this post especially the picture of the vintage Barbie.

Have a happy Wednesday,

I love the rockabilly look. I could always pull off the non-threatening punk look when I was younger, but never had the guts to jump into the rockabilly scene. Adorable though!

Ahem...Kori, I most definitely think that you could pull the look off. Hmmm, I'm thinking we, yes "we" will a mission the next time I'm in town. And we'll have to photograph it. And me, I cannot for the life of me do the read lipstick, period.
