Earmuffs: Accessorize (www.accessorize.com)
A cardigan that closes in the waist and then gradually flares, goes very well on a tight dress for that ultra-feminin forties-fifties look. (and covers up a belly ;)) You can accentuate the waist with matching laqué (patent leather) belt.
Cardigan: Vero Moda (www.veromoda.com)
The dress has a little dogtooth pattern, with this pattern red accents are a must! (bag, flowercorsage, nailpolish, lipstick)
As in every total look make sure elements are repeated:
leather gloves->leather shoes
patent leather bag->laqué belt
colours red & black
Dress & pumps: Zara
This wouldn't be 'retro' without using genuine vintage stuff, it's original and has a history... but do not exaggerate with the old, you don't want to look like a granny. Think more sofisticated pin-up! High heels, nailpolish, lipstick, long gloves makes the difference!
Handbag: flea-market (I've cleaned it first with dettol, but watch out: these bags often have a carton base)
Gloves: Lanvin for H&M
FlowerCorsage: vintage
Nailpolish: Chanel 'Pirate'
For the make-up I used: liquid eyeliner from M.A.C. and 'rouge d'amour' lipstick from Chantal Thomass for Nivea.

Who is great in expleaning how to apply make-up is Kandee Johnson:

For my look I didn't use fake eyelashes and instead of the brown (to create a shadow), I used darkgrey (matches better with my blue eyes).
If you don't want to have too much make-up on, like for the day, just put on some black mascara and a red lipstick with a less brighter colour.
Style it, Personalize it!
