Without question, one of my most favorite vintage style icons is Bettie Page. Her classic style can be described in a range of words like: flirty, sassy, suggestive, lady-like, and bold. Bettie was very popular model in the 50's and her looks are still seen imitated today by many starlets (Katy Perry, Leighton Meester, and Dita Von Teese to name a few). Here are some outfits I have put together (2 actual outfits and 2 inspired) after the late "Queen of Pin-Ups" Bettie Page.

(Bettie Inspired) Outfit #1: Ivory Pearls
This simple, form fitting dress is darling all by itself or when dressed up with the right accessories. The coffee color gives some sophistication while the ivory colored dots and pearls create a cohesive look and theme.
(Bettie Inspired) Outfit #2: Pretty-in-Pink Plaid
This outfit looks great in virtually any color, matched with any print pattern! This EA packaged skirt is charming when paired with a form fitting puffed shouldered top. Very Bettie-like.
(Bettie Actual) Outfit #3: Cheetah Cat
This looks just screams 'Vixen' and I'm crazy about it. Accessories really help bring out a playful feline look: the elbow length gloves add elegance and the pearl necklace even looks like a kitty collar. Meow!
(Bettie Actual) Outfit #4: Ahoy Sailor
This look is one of my favorites -- it is very versatile (just add a print or swap the colors-- looks great either way!) I also adore the exaggerated shoulders, gives this dress lots of feminine charm even with a nautical color theme.
P.s. I'll post links to all the cc used soon!
