Thatpinup - Find Your Inner Pin-up Girl

If you know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE headwear . I don’t care if they are hats, scarves, or turbans. If it’s eccentric looking and bright-colored I’ll wear it.

Luxury purchases have always been something to strive for. What luxury means to each person does vary, but they certainly go a long way in making people happy. The year 2020 saw the value of the personal luxury goods market soar to 217 billion euros, a huge amount of cash. Again, what’s luxury to one may not be to another. You can pretty much sum up luxury as something you buy because you really want it, not because you need it. But why do people do it? People might buy  luxury items  because they need to cheer themselves up and lend a bit of confidence . Maybe they do it because they’re interested in that niche industry.

Being a vintage fashion enthusiast in a work environment can be difficult. You either get stared at or your coworkers assume you don’t know what you’re talking about simply because of the way you’re dressed. So I made it my mission to feature vintage fashion enthusiasts in various different careers and ask them for their tips. I spoke with Rosalynn ; a vintage fashion enthusiast and veterinary researcher from South Africa. Q: How did you come to love vintage style fashion? A: “I was brought up by my mom and grandmother who both loved clothes and vintage fashion. They always wore clothes that did not fit the current fashion style and encouraged me to do the same. So from a young age I loved dresses, flowy materials and flowers – anything with flowers. My grandparents loved antiques and my mom had a fusion of styles. So we loved checking out thrift shops to find weird and old stuff.  In my teens, I had a brief gothic phase but then went back to my colorful flowy flower style. Only abou

This month, I interviewed Lana Moreaux ; a pin-up up model and naturalist with a love for plants. How and why did you start dressing in vintage fashion? A: “I've been in love with vintage fashion, music, and decor for as long as I can remember. I call it a little nostalgia for an era I never took part in. It all started with my grandmother, I grew up living with her and I mainly listened to all of her favorite music from the 50s and 60s. We also watched 80s does 50s movies like Crybaby and Grease. I felt like that's where I belonged. As I got older, I dressed all modern but always found myself thinking about vintage fashion. I didn't even know that I could purchase true vintage and reproduction until I was in adulthood and trying to figure out how to stop dressing like a club girl. I never felt like this space wasn't for me until
