I have the same problem, the whole area here is very very old Christian so all of the actual vintage stuff goes to your ankles and has a very high neck and puffy shoulders ha! So usually if I want to buy thrift or vintage I either look on eBay or I look for thrift shops online (they are there)

I've had a few more from my coworkers on Payday hahah!

My payday is every other Wednesday, and occasionally, I get that day off! 

My bank's kind of silly and isn't processing the direct deposit paperwork, so I have to pick it up in the store. 

My managers and coworkers always get wide-eyed and smiley when they see me in my PUG attire, since it's always something different. 

Most recently, one of my coworkers didn't even recognize me, and gave me a huuuge compliment. 

"Sweetie, if I were a straight man, I'd ask you to dance in that swirly skirt!" 
"Tarrin, it's me, Ellie." 
".... Hiiiiii!!!!! My point still stands, girl."

I love my coworkers.

One of the funniest comments I've ever gotten in my PUG duds was a gentleman that asked "Who's the 'Betty' that you're trying to look like?"

Another one is a fellow that came up to a friend and me and just kept saying "Thank you ladies" over and over again while holding our hands.

Both a little awkward but still flattering :)

I find that when I tell people I've "recently gotten into pinup" their eyes bug out, and I get two responses.. "what for?" Like it's wrong or something, or "wow!! can I see?!!" ... mostly from males. I feel beautiful!

awe, I get the "what for" or "why so dressed up"  or "Going somewhere special" all the time, I think it's sad since usually when I get those questions I'm just wearing work attire and have ventured outside of my office to the store or something.

It's VERY sad my bf and I were at the bank getting a card for me and this woman was just amazed that I wasn't "going" anywhere. I had on my Lily dress, really. -_-

On the street in Downtown Oakland, just wearing my Atomic Print Ginger (didn't even bother to do up my makeup or anything): "were you just in a movie?"

My husband and I are always asked if we just got back from swing dancing or a costume party!

This man I used to work with told me "You're our red-headed Marilyn Monroe!" and on a separate occasion: "You've got that Mad Men pin-up look." I was experimenting with the PUG look at the time, and after all the positive reactions I really started to embrace it.
