Funny Face inspiration

Last week, I watched the 1957 movie Funny Face for the first time. Of all the fashionable outfits that Audrey Hepburn wears, I was most enthusiastic about her "nerdy bookstore clerk" attire! 

Here are some other reasons I love the movie:

1. Fred Astaire wears the most interesting socks to match his outfits. I appreciate guys who are thoughtful about their socks.

2. Audrey Hepburn gives a shout-out to "Omaha."

3. There's a little car featured in there that reminds me of today's Smart Car. I did not know there existed small city cars back then too.

4. Wearing all black (or a black turtleneck) automatically makes a person appear smarter.

5. Lastly, I'm obsessed with the hooded rain jacket that Audrey Hepburn sports in Paris:
...one of those timeless items that I can see people wearing right now!

Here's my outfit inspired by the movie:
Featuring: Target Merona Ultimate long-sleeve crew tee size S and old H&M houndstooth skirt (wearing size 6; see Extra Petite in size 2). I always stock up on these Target tees since they are amazingly warm yet soft and lightweight, much more comfortable than an itchy sweater! 

What are your favorite moments/outfits from Funny Face?

Blush skirt goals

I know my 2014 resolution is not to buy any fancy stuff, but I gave myself a few exceptions...

1. Must be a most-wanted item from my personal fashion scrapbook:
ie. Nude/Blush colored skirt
2. Must fit decently.
3. Must be something I can see in an Anthropologie catalog.
4. Must be compatible with other items in my wardrobe. 

Well....I've been wanting to try a blush colored skirt for the longest time...and this was the first time I saw something close to what I had in mind (resembling skirt from The Fashion Pledge), so I had to try it out! 

$19.80
