I knew I couldn’t wait to try on the vintage St. John {just featured in this article} that my mom sent my way… As soon as I saw raindrops falling from the sky, it was time for the knit dress to make its debut.

HOW TO – PATRIOTIC PINUP HAIR & MAKEUP
You can pull off this Patriotic Pinup look at anytime {and it’s the perfect complement to yesterday’s look: All-American Girl}. This 1940’s inspired look can be worn year-round; professional enough for daytime responsibilities and flirty enough for nighttime encounters.

Now that you have your hair pinned away from your face… and now that your face is framed with soft curls… it’s time to pull off a makeup look to match.
In about 10 minutes, you can complete the makeup routine. Keys to this look: fresh skin, contoured cheekbones, winged liner with dramatic lashes on upper lash line only, and bold matte red lips.

LOOK OF THE WEEK – ALL-AMERICAN GIRL
My love of red pants is nothing new {see Look of the Week: Lady in Red (Pants)}. I love fire-engine red trousers even more when they are incorporated into a girl-next-door-who–is-a-member-of-a-sailing-team-or-the-yacht-club look. The nautical look is a classic {make it pop with gold necklaces, a matte red lip*, and those bright red pants}. With a social calendar full of Labor Day Weekend barbecues, I’m sure you can find an excuse to don similar attire. {*A How-To will be posted tomorrow on how to achieve this look’s Patriotic Pin-up Hair & Makeup}.
