So just get em' out !
Flared & Ruffled Bottoms
Any dress that is skirt-like at the bottom should have a flare. A flare is an again not a tough thing to manage. Just hand over an old skirt to the local tailor to add some ruffles and flares to it. And you are done ! And mind you there are no restrictions with the length at all. Get minis, micro- minis, knee lengths, or ankle lengths. A ruffle or a flare or both are your sure shot retro looks !


Gaudy Chunk Jewelry
The whole retro look is incomplete without a loud and gaudy gemstone chunk jewelry. If you have some collectible heavy pieces from your grandma's collection, nothing like it. Get a nice big, chunk of amethyst, studded is rusted silver hung loosely around your neck or a rock size ring for for your manicured fingers, for that outlandish and ultra glamorous diva look.
