There's no denying that one of the most adored and lusted after women from a vintage era is the magnificent Marilyn Monroe. Her voluptuous figure, wardrobe to die for and natural sex appeal is appreciated by both men and women around the world.
I hear people talking about her a lot in the shop and in conversation, she is a true icon and she had the ability to make the most simple clothes look seriously amazing!
As much as it would be fun to wear a white halterneck dress and stand over an air vent, the practicalities of doing this every day are a little tricky. So how do you get the Marilyn look without going the whole hog?
Here we break down some of her most gorgeous looks and show you how to recreate them with a little bit of My Vintage magic!
First up, Mazza rocks this chunky knit jumper with come black tights. Are you brave enough? (Disclaimer: you may wear trousers if you wish to avoid arrest)
Why not go for one of these beauties from our vast range of vintage knitwear?
