I don’t own any 1950s dresses — not even one!<\/em><\/p>\n

So when I decided to model these five ’50s dresses from Hinesite Vintage<\/a>, I wasn’t just excited — I was anxious.\u00a0I didn’t know how the ’50s styles would feel and flow on my body. Would I feel awkward, or worse … would I look<\/em> it?<\/p>\n

While I turn more regularly to the styles of the ’60s<\/a> and clothing of the ’70s<\/a>, I opened my mind and my heart to the potential that somewhere in me was a ’50s girl waiting to be unleashed.<\/p>\n

And in opening my perspective to this potential, I began to muse on how fashion can actually make us better people because when our creative limits are pushed, we are moved to grow!<\/em><\/p>\n

The creative challenge these dresses presented proved fruitful in the end, because rather than focus on the styles of the dresses I focused on their stories instead. Like spirits, these dresses had past lives, and I felt as though I were breathing new life into each as I wore it.<\/p>\n

So to show you how ’50s fashion<\/a> goes deeper than surface-level, keep reading after the jump to not only see these 5 vintage dresses from the ’50s but to feel<\/em> how their styles inspired new thoughts in my mind and love in my heart.<\/p>\n

Vintage lovers are a special community because unlike mainstream fashion, there are no specific vintage “trends.” You can be a pin-up princess hanging out with a ’80s rocker and still feel that special bond because you are both wearing vintage!<\/em><\/p>\n

I know that so many of my readers are ’50s clothing<\/a> lovers, and so I wanna know:\u00a0Which of these ’50s dresses inspires you the most?<\/p>\n
