Retro Glam is a feminine style inspired by the fashion of the 1920's thru 1950's.
“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” Coco Chanel
I love this style. Personally I feel most comfortable in a dress. It wasn't until a visit with my mother when she commented the dress I was wearing reminded her of her mother (in a good way dude) that I realized the influence my grandmothers had on my sense of fashion. They always wore dresses.
And it wasn't until I read an article about Retro Glam Style that I recognized a few pieces in my wardrobe.
Retro Glam Style is
Fashion with an emphasis on silhouette and form.

Hair:
lots of body, pin curls, and a pompadour.
