This time around, we dressed up like some PINK LADIES for Dusty Rose Vintage.
We were decked out in lovely pale pink confections from different eras.
As you may have seen by now on other blogs such as Dusty Rose Vintage, Idee_geniale, etc.--these dresses are very reminiscent of the movie Pretty in Pink.
(Although, this is a fave movie of mine, I do have to admit I giggle everytime I see the scene of Andie attempting to draw up her prom dress--in this particular scene, they don't even show her face. So one would think that they could hire a stand-in for her-somebody that actually had illustration skills. But no, pretty certain they used Molly Ringwald's lackluster drawing abilities because that is by far the worst fashion sketch I've ever seen!)
And how funny is it that a little flamingo friend found his way into Mel's hair? He's so very necessary for such a photoshoot of course.
I had the pleasure of wearing a lovely pastel pink 1960's dress.
It has these tiny clear stone settings on the buttons adding just the right does of glitz to an otherwise beautifully simplistic silhouette.
(Now I admit, I do this dress no justice because it is not fit to me. If one had the womanly hips so required to fill out the bottom skirt portion, I imagine this dress would be a dream fit. It's so perfectly lady-like; it would show your assets while still being classy.)
On me:
1960's Pastel Pink Strapless Dress with Rhinestone Button Detail

I was particularly in awe of the dress Showgirl Godzilla wore.
Such a demure, ballerina-esque dress,
Any young girl would look so beautiful and innocent wearing this.
On Nikka:
1950's Pastel Pink Prom Dress
-Also for sale @ Dusty Rose Vintage
Idee_geniale wore a 1980's dress.
The crinkled gauzy fabric added an interesting texture while the chiffon bow detail added a nice dose of feminine balance.
The dress lends itself to a number of accessorizing techniques--whether its a simple diamond bracelet, a lovely necklace, or a plastic flamingo in the hair (as shown above)
On Mel:
