Well I wouldn't go so far as to call it new; it will be new to me since I am looking at adopting bits and pieces of it. This style I speak of is what we will call the " Marilyn Monroe Style". By saying that, you probably just had her pop into your head, and you know exactly what style I am talking about ;)
Marilyn was known for her curves. She was a blond bombshell with a most beautiful figure. Not the most conventional body in her day, but it was soon accepted and envied. Large bust, large hips and a tiny waste: The idea of what a female is supposed to look like. Her being a blond and a charming actress just added to her persona. If you haven't seen her in a movie, she is not what you would expect...she's fantastic! (Check out Some Like It Hot)
Her style can be characterised as one that shows off the curves. Some famous ladies today who have adopted such a style are Beyoncé, Christina Hendricks and Scarlett Johansson. All very curvy, beautiful ladies. The style includes many high waisted pants and jeans along with tight blouses and tank tops, usually accompanied by some simple ballet flats. That would be the casual style that I am looking to adopt. As I am making my transition to trying to look more my age, which will include the break-up in a 24 year long relationship with my bangs :) this quest is taking me toward embracing my body and showing off what God gave me! A new chapter of style, I am basically going for the Marilyn Monroe look along with some traces of my old style, what ever those are.
