What made you like the 40's and 50's??
Well most people say that it was a different time...But I think what made an impact on me was my
great aunt and rockabilly music. Now I love the way women where classy and how boys where always well dressed and proper. I also loved the JD side to though my great aunt stories where the best. Well I mean
she was 85 and still on a Harley with her boyfriend what more could you want!! These were some of the best times and those are the reasons I love these times!!
How old where you when you started dressing up in
40s and 50s Vintage Clothing??
Well I started thrift store shopping when I was 10 and I remember always looking for something from the 40s or 50s eventually I found a circle skirt while on a thrift shopping trip with my sister at the time it was to big for me but I loved it. But I started collecting 40s and 50s attire when I was
14 years old.
Does your family support your 40s-50s style?
My mom love's it she loves looking for clothes with me. My older sister
also dresses in this attire and she likes to show me off to her friends which to me is a bit acquired
because they know who I am and I have no clue who they are but that's my sister for you.
But most of my family supports it!!
