Anonymous asked: Sonia, I really love turtlenecks. But I am having trouble figuring what else to wear with them. And are they ok? or are the 50s over, stylistically speaking? Any ideas?

50’s Fashion is NOT over! Whether you’re going for classic soft boi or tea-sipping femme, turtlenecks will send the queers through the roof. Since they are more casual, many people like to dress them up a bit (blazers, jewelry, fancy pants.) But, going for a casual look in itself is perfectly respectable.

Aside from showing you the obvious teenage heartthrob popstars:

Ok, so cute queers are literally everywhere on my Tumblr dash. But Olivia stood out to me because of her mix of traditional 50’s jazz style with hipster. Her undercut with an overflowing fauxhauk that looks like it comes from a full head of hair is absolutely stunning.

That mysterious hot queer chilling by the ivy at your school, just ready for you to go talk to her. With a classic denim jacket and slicked and parted 50’s inspired hair, I think Dewie’s got some inspiration for all of us.

moosie03-deactivated20130216 asked: I just wanted to say I found this blog and loooooove it! I've been in a frenzy trying to find a cute outfit for my 21st birthday coming up (it'll be the first time I'm attempting the bow tie-chino dapper look) and this blog gave me so many more options to explore. I also recently (as in a little over 2 months ago) cut all my hair off and that mad men 50's hair post is exactly how I'll style it come my birthday. You're amazing, thank you!

Thanks so much!! So glad we could help, and please send in a pic of your 21st birthday outfit. It sounds rad.

Thanks Mad Men for totally bringing this style back. This slick cutie speaks of her haircut: “Hair is a whole different wardrobe to me! This is inspired by the best era, the 1950’s. Best product I use is the Bed Head Manipulator. It doesnt make your hair hard but it keeps it in place.” Even her photo is faded 50’s style. Love.

Available on Amazon for $12.99
