A little peek at my Stepford Wife Closet.

I've been addicted to Instagram for the past month. I will be posting my outfits of the day here as well. Below are some from April. My hair was a bit dark and I am on my way blonde as your will see the transition. With the exception of the vintage plaid skirt I made the drndl skirts. ( yes that is the correct spelling)

Instagram - Vintage Atomic Gals I Love!

I have so much to write about and need to get on it. Spring is here?...well sort of here in Maine. I swear it has been the longest winter that I remember. Yay for being able to wear pretty, pretty dresses as my hubby calls them.

I have also discovered the fab world or culture of guys and gals who love and live  the retro life as I do. I love getting "grammed" with 1940's and 1950's outfits of the day or #ootd. Being able to follow and be followed (ha ha not by creepers) and share this lifestyle is great. 

Where I live my husband and I are quite unique. We are Rockabilly without the edge or tattoos. Ok he has tat's but we prefer keep the Stepford wife look for myself.  I prefer crinolines, drndl skirts, circle skirts and pearl necklaces and little white gloves. 

If you are interested in gals who don the Betty Draper or June Cleaver style and live the retro/housewife life. I will be posting a monthly list of my Instagram.  

  I follow and would recommend: 

***These are in no particular order.***

(most have a blog posted on their Instagram as well)
