Throwback Thursday: From Decades Past

I could not decide what I wanted to post today, and can't do a personal style diary post because I lent my camera to a friend (you know who you are I want it back). With it being Thursday I thought why not do a Throwback Thursday post! Then I had trouble deciding what or who this Throwback Thursday post should be on/about. To solve my troubles (and boredom) I chose to take an online quiz called "What Retro Decade Are You" (which you can take Here, I'm sure it is very accurate). My quiz results told me I belong in the 1940's stating "Classic, glamorous, and stylish, you are the most refined decade of them all. Never trashy, you define the word class with your charm and wit. Think waved hair, cigarette holders, and Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in 'Casablanca'" With that being said here are some of my favourite looks from the 1940's:
