A Pin Up A Week: Week One!

Hi there,
My name is Allison and I have decided to start a project for myself. Once a week I am going to buy an item from a pin up type clothing website (once a week) and once I receive it from the website I will review it for you guys.  So, I am new to this whole pin up thing but I think it will be a lot of fun!

This weeks item (which I have yet to receive) is this:

So its the Retro Radio Cigar dress (with halter) from onthetrashyside.com

So, some of the things I am excited about are: that this dress is only $55! And I know that this is not super cheap or anything but trust me, I have been looking and most pin up style dresses are over $100. So, I felt this was a good starter piece. I am also excited because I can wear my petticoat under it! It also just has a super cute print and turquoise is my favorite color. So these are all good things!

I heard about this website from Aubrey London's youtube channel which is:

She also has a blog called

http://aubreylondonpinup.com/ Please don't go to just aubreylondon.com, I made this mistake. It's an amateur erotica site.

The only other thing I have to address right now is what I should buy next week. I will put a few links to some pieces I am considering.

So here they are:

or

or

Let me know which one you think I should get!

Thanks for reading!
