the soubrette brunette: My Favorite Outfit: Modern June Cleaver & Amelia Jetson

Note from Sammi: Hello, lovely readers! I am currently out of town with *very* limited internet access, so I've decided to start a little mini-series on the blog while I'm gone. I've asked some of my favorite blogger ladies to contribute a guest post about their absolute favorite outfits from their own blogs! It's kind of a Sophie's Choice situation (at least, I know it would be for me!), since these are some of the most stylish girls I know, but I'm so excited to see what they've chosen! Today's guest bloggers are Modern June Cleaver and Amelia Jetson (otherwise known as Amanda and Katie) from Junebugs and Georgia Peaches! This dynamic duo never fails to impress with their fantastic '50s looks! Without further ado, here are June and Amelia with their favorite outfits!

Hello, Soubrette Brunette readers!

As Sammi said above, we're June + Amelia. Some of you may know us from our own blog or Instagram, but we're stoked about being here! We've only been blogging since January and are excited to work with someone who is so well-spoken, interesting + stylish. Now that we've gotten our lady crush on Sammi out of the way, we'll tell you a little about our all time favorite outfits.

Modern June Cleaver

Hello, I'm June! If you'd asked me what my favorite outfit was a week ago, it would've been something totally different. But this week, it's this Peek a Boo Top by Steady Clothing paired with the High Waisted Thrills Skirt in Olive, Wide Shakira Satin Belt by Pinup Girl Clothing, Persia Heels from Miss L Fire and Carmen Fruit Clips by Andy's Eye Candy.

These Miss L Fire heels were inspired by Great Gatsby era fashion, but I hopped in my TARDIS and brought them forward 30 years, to my usual, late 1950s inspired style. I really love this top because I think it's a flattering way to show a little skin but not full out cleavage which makes me feel totally awkward. The skirt has a great shape and accommodates a large enough petticoat to achieve the perfect amount of fullness. And I actually don't usually like big hair pieces, but I LOVE these, I'm definitely channeling my inner Carmen Miranda, who was actually equally as adorable without the fruit hats. ; )

Tied for first place this week as my favorite outfit would be my Bernie Dexter Beatrice Dress in BBQ Print (I'm sorry I can't link it, she no longer sells this piece.) This was my birthday dress last year and my first Bernie, so it holds a special place in my heart. I can't decide if it's the dress or the fact that I'd just officially reunited with my now fiancee, Collin (proposal post + video here). My opinion might be a bit jaded.

Bernie Dexter's dresses always have adorable prints and have in-seam lipstick pockets, which is awesome. All dresses with pockets automatically get preferential treatment, because I mean... who doesn't love hidden pockets?!

Amelia Jetson

Hi there, I'm Amelia! It's hard to choose one outfit that I love the most so I had to choose two. The first outfit is the Trashy Diva Annette Dress in Sci-Fi print, which is sadly no longer made. This dress is one of my favorites, because it reminds me of Ms. Frizzle! I just need a magic school bus and a pet chameleon and I'll be set. I love this dress for its print, quality and overall appearance. I simply paired it with a lucite cherry brooch and my B.A.I.T. Irene's in red. This outfit will definitely continue to be one of my Summer essentials!

I must have a love for dresses that are no longer being made! This was my dress for June's birthday last year, and it was my first Hell Bunny dress also. I love the color on this dress and the polka dot print. The back is a deep 'V', which makes it a fun Summer dress! I paired it with plain red patent shoes, because I love the color combination of light purple and red!
