The Casual Pinup: How To Dress Retro Everyday!

Aloha, lovelies! Today's post is going to be one that I feel very passionately towards! I LOOOOVE casual dressing... I actually prefer it to wearing a dress. I would much rather wear jeans and a top over a dress & petticoat. Thing is... I am a women of comfort. I just love to relax and not worry about what I am wearing - whether my bra strap is showing, or itchy petticoats or my dress is tucked into my knickers. Some may call it lazy... I call it 'practical'. I've always preferred 'everyday' clothing but especially so since become a Mamma. I'm not gunna try and carry my baby, car seat, nappy change bag and shopping at the same time whilst wearing a big ol' flouncy dress. Obviously, I do sometimes like to pop on a frock and I have particular dresses that are perfect for casual wear so here is my post to help you with dress practically whilst also keeping your retro vibes!

OOTD: Beatnik Bad Girl #TOBGstyle

Aloha, Sweetpeas! I wasn't planning on taking photo's of my outfit today, but I felt pretty badass so I just had to! The pictures were quick and casual which sums up my look perfectly, to be honest! A while ago a got a few The Original Bad Girl basic tops and I was gutted when I realised how banging they'd look with a pair of kickass high waisted jeans - something which I didn't yet have! So, when I finally got my hands on the much-sought-after Hug Me Baby Jeans by Lady K Loves, I knew they'd be a match made in heaven. It was actually quite mild and sunny here in the UK this day, so I was able to whip out the sunnies (even though the pictures I took with the sunglasses on where obviously taken inside :'D). This was the perfect outfit for the transitional weather we will be having soon in England! I actually layered a cardigan underneath my leather jacket when I went out as it was a tad nippy! Speaking of 'nippy' (haha, I'm sorry! :'D), excuse the lumpiness under my top - my bra had bunched up a bit and I didn't realise! Oops! <3
I am completely besotted with the slash neckline of this top... It is so comfortable but doesn't compromise anyway on style!

The Starlet Scandal Jumpsuit by The Original Bad Girl

Let me introduce you to Australian fashion label The Original Bad Girl... A Sydney based brand that will make you feel like the baddest, sassiest broad there ever was. Lurex? Check. Stripes? Check? TOBG have got your back (covered in fabulous clothing, that is!).

 I recently became the lucky owner of the sold-out Starlet Scandal Jumpsuit. A piece of clothing that would make Betty Brosmer proud! You cannot be a wallflower in this gem, let me tell you. Be prepared to stand out. It is made of a cotton stretch fabric with lurex threads running all through it so you'll be sure to turn heads. It has no zips or buttons to ruin the curve-hugging silhouette it gives you, so you just slip it on and pull the neck piece over your head. 

I think this glitzy jumpsuit makes the perfect alternative to a dress as you definitely don't compromise on feeling fancy. The cross-over halter neck really accentuates your best bits and makes you feel sexy without showing off too much skin.
