old time inspiration

This march break has been one that is absolutely full of old movies. I've been having an absolutely wonderful and super relaxing time.

I have never felt more inspired than when I watched Patricia Neal learn of Michael Rennie's true alien identity, and then face an 8 foot robot, all while looking absolutely fabulous in a gorgeous black collared dress.


I think I'm beginning to become quite obsessed with pretty bows and collared shirts and dresses.
I love the elegance of it all, and have been trying my hardest to recreate these looks. Sadly, as I don't really have any real bow ties to wear, I have been improvising, tying skinny scarfs into pretty loopy things, with relative success. I'll try and show you in an outfit post hopefully sometime in the near future.

Anyways, I have found myself hunting down old pictures of these lovely movie stars, and I believe I've been relatively successful. I especially like these ones of Natalie Wood. They make me want to wear vintage bathing suits and nightgowns all the time, no matter how cold it is outside, just because their so gorgeous.
