Channel Marilyn with My Vintage...

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?

I am a huge fan of sequins anyway, and Ms Monroe just makes them even more fab-u-lous! Here she is looking amazing in full sequins...

Give this look a whirl with a vintage dress just like this one from My Vintage...

A cute pair of vintage dungarees never looked so glam...

Wear this My Vintage pair with a stripy tee and wedges to recreate Marilyn's daytime look...

1980s Vintage Cream Utility Dungarees

Sometimes a simple sun dress can look so very glam, and isn't this a picture to prove my theory?...

Just gorgeous. Why not go for a simple dress like this with shirred bust and crinkle fabric, just like this vintage paisley number...

A two piece suit can sometimes feel like a more serious or sensible look, but not when you wear it like THIS!

Vintage suits are a great addition to your wardrobe, why not try this one...

Turtleneck and stripes? Yep, she did it first...
