We love your mid-century style, Vintage Queen no 42

Our beautiful Vintage Queen number 42 loves everything about the Forties and Fifties. Her carefully styled head-to-toe vintage outfits have inspired us to get out our pearls and full-skirted dresses and indulge in the glamour of mid-century style.

My name is Andi B. Goode and I hail from Adelaide, South Australia. I’m 23 and I’m just about to finish a Bachelor degree in visual arts with a major in photography, so I have to get used to being out in the ‘real world’ again after three years of study.

I’ve had a love for old-time things my whole life; I grew up watching classic movies starring my favourites Audrey Hepburn, Doris Day and Cary Grant and listened to a lot of old rock ‘n’ roll and country &western, too. I started op-shopping (or thrifting) about four years ago, but it’s only the past couple of years that I’ve actually started to think about vintage, and there are some finds I let go that I wish I hadn’t, now!

I started experimenting with vintage hairstyles – beehives, victory rolls and pin-curls – on-and-off about three years ago but I think I really decided to have a full-time vintage look soon after I had a Foties-themed party for my 21st. I love the Forties and Fifties equally; Forties fashion for women was very boxy but still managed to seem feminine at the same time.

In the Fifties the female form was almost taken to the extreme with the exaggerated hour-glass silhouette being popular. I love the extravagance of Fifties  fashion and that casual looks seem equally as glamorous looking back!
