It's right up my alley, style-wise. For tucking, you can get thin strips of a silicone-type material and affix them on a few spots on the inside of your waist band. I'll try to link the closest thing I could find on Amazon, but I'm not sure if it's the same stuff I found at a fabric store. I've also heard of people stitching velvet into the waistband to add grippiness. I used to use the tucking-into-tights trick, but I always worried about the top of my tights showing.<br /> Closest product I could find on Amazon: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/LA-Linen-Elastic-Clear-wide/dp/B008EUFXNM/ref=pd_sbs_ac_5?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=1GMTTC180AVRNH33TN5G" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/LA-Linen.....VRNH33TN5G</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1426802 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 06:08:36 +0000 citygirldc 1426802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the whole retro vibe of your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425702 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:14:25 +0000 Anonymous 1425702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the make up tip tips! Love the one for the eyelids. I have some white Halloween make up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425683 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:20:57 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and as far as the Monistat gel, that goes on my whole face, after moisturizer but before foundation, and a little goes a long way. It's also handy for mattifying an oily face, and even used alone or mixed with some liquid foundation to create "Bb cream." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425678 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:17:14 +0000 Eliza 1425678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is stunning and striking on you! Gorgeous colors and vintage flair. Thanks for the make up "primer" (sorry for the pun)- I hadn't heard those tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425670 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:07:14 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny thank you. I wouldn't mind looking like I stepped out of another era, I just don't have the complete wardrobe for it haha</p> <p>Viva that is an excellent suggestion! I have done that in the past, can't believe I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425652 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:31:20 +0000 viva 1425652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this simple, retro, sleek look. Pencil skirt looks amazing on you, and those shoes are killer.</p> <p>Do you tuck your blouse into your tights? Such an obvious suggestion, I realize, but if you are not doing that it could help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425640 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:09:15 +0000 Jenny H 1425640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also a lover of vintage and wow, you look great! I particularly like the way you've incorporated the vintage elements with a nod to modern so you don't actually look like you stepped out of another era but you do evoke it. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425634 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:55:44 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane G - you are absolutely correct, I do have a few style personas. I feel like I need something cohesive to pull them all together though. I'm hoping that cutting my hair, as my intention is to do pin curls most often, will do just that.</p> <p>As far as the primer, of course I don't mind sharing! It's actually a different product, meant for something else lol. It's Monistat chafing relief powder gel. It's an old beauty trick used by makeup artists. The gel has dimethicone in it at a fairly high percentage, which is the same ingredient found in most primers. Some primers have other silicones added, or vitamins and what not, so they function as a serum too, but for how cheap this is compared to cosmetic brands, I'll take it!</p> <p>On my eyes I also use a couple other things if I am creating a highly pigmented look or using bright colors and want them to be vivid:<br /> Dab a teensy bit of white face paint (yes the Halloween kind) all over the lid, patting gently until there is just s thin sheer layer. Don't rub it or try to smear it on, you'll end up with too much. Keeping your eyes half closed so as to prevent creases, give it about 30 seconds to dry and set then dust a bit of cornstarch or mineral powder over them. Apply eye shadow as you normally would. A white eyeliner pencil works for this too, but that gets expensive.</p> <p>I also make my own mineral powder makeup... Maybe I'll post the recipe sometime </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425622 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:16:37 +0000 Summer 1425622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a very lady-like look, and I love how you have styled your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425605 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:35:27 +0000 rute 1425605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so chic!

It's not all that difficult really, just takes practice and perseverance. Lots of trial and errors! Bobby pins are my best friends and so is face primer https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425517 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:06:24 +0000 abc 1425517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had the talent to do my hair and makeup like you do.

The blouse is a beautiful color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425504 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:53:59 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wanted to wear a cardigan over the blouse tucked in as well, but lighter weight fabric showed the bust seams too much and the heavier fabric was too bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425502 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:52:20 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much. Yes, JackieC, the 40s and 50s are definitely my favorite eras to pull inspiration from.<br /> Angie, thank you, I agree it's a good color for me. If I remember correctly I think I'm in the "autumn" color category, if you follow such things? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425446 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:17:31 +0000 Angie 1425446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty.

Blouse feels too bunched at the waist. Any tricks for keeping it tucked in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-totally-ladylike#post-1425354 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:23:03 +0000 trekkiegirl 1425354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super busy day, short post.
