I'm stepping back in time!

Since gaining my groove back and finding myself again after bubs, I have realised one thing....I have stepped back in time with my clothing!
You might be asking what particular decade I have returned to and I can safely say that it is NOT the 80's! Lol. The decade of choice that I find myself most comfortable and stylish in is the 50's. I'm loving all the prints of the dresses that are coming out at the moment and crushing on the style that seems to hide the things I don't like and highlight the things that I want to show off! A recent purchase made me think about how much this decade really did know how to dress women at their best! The dress of choice that inspired this post is below;


It's aptly called the 'Eye Spy' dress and I'm just loving the comfort and style all wrapped up together! It's cinched in at the waist, giving great separation and definition between my "ladies" up top and my waist below. Since having my bub, I find that my tummy has remained on my list of things that I hate
 about my body but I don't think even think about it when I'm in this dress. The other thing that I love about this dress is that it can be rocked out in summer and winter. When this dress was delivered, my friend said "you know it's winter right!?". I turned to her, smiled and said I'll just wear it with stockings and a cardi....and that's exactly what I did yesterday!
Some other recent purchases/items to covet that have inspired my return to the 50's are:
                        

My next challenge is to master the type of make-up from the 50's aswell. I love the cats eyes and do own a liquid eyeliner but have never quite mastered it...I hope to keep practising my skills and get there one day! I secretly wish that I had long hair (it doesn't suit me though..) so that I could totally rock something like this!
                   

So lets put it out there:
What's your favourite decade & how would you rock it?
