Retro Tropicana

I have been having the worst case of cabin fever the last few days. I'm originally from Virginia, but I moved to the Midwest a few years ago for grad school. While I have a whole new definition of cold, I still don't like the cold winters. Because of that, I've been eying shorts and other Spring/Summer clothing and daydreaming of warmer weather. I also decided to create a summer style guide (so I apologize for the few months in advance).

Retro Tropicana

One of my favorite actresses is Jane Russell. True, she was considered a sex icon and not a tomboy, but she (unlike the other famous sex icons of her time) always had a tough-girl attitude to her that I adore. I wanted to take her sexy, pin-up look and make it a little more "me." To recreate her icon summer look, you need a pair of high-waisted shorts and a tropical-print top. To really get the Jane Russell look, tuck the shirt into the shorts. I paired it with a pair of flat sandals and of course, bright red lips because you can't be a sex icon without them!

Try to stay warm!
