Shopping at the Movies
“Some people dream of swimming pools. I dream of closets!”
-Audrey Hepburn
Summer shopping was not too eventful for me. I had the most difficult time finding new clothes. My best purchase was a fitted white jacket that I love for its versatility and clean, crisp fit. Truth be told, although I am not averse to the summery look, my fashion heart has always been and will forevermore be autumnal/wintry.
Still, this past summer was particularly resistible except for some adorable Nanette Lepore pieces that I nearly gave in to. While the practical aspect of my nature tells me that this is a good thing, when you’re planning a wardrobe overhaul, nothing can be more disappointing!
So there I was, both bewildered at how the MJ denim jacket has become a uniform of sorts, and crestfallen that I cannot locate a white halter exactly like the one Grace Kelly shows off in Rear Window. And then it hit me: I love fashion. I love films. What could be better than going through the film archives for fashion ideas? So here is what I came up with.
Please Note: To enlarge the images, right-click on the image, click on ‘properties,’ highlight & copy the address/URL, and then paste.
I cannot wait to see further fashions you pick out from the classic movies.
Shout out to MJ Denim jackets….and YSL shirts adorned with pizza grease! HA
