It is the second day of the TV/Movie Inspired Fashion Event and the theme for today is 1940s. Sorry about the long delay in my post getting up, but I work on Monday's and this evening I also had a Bible study to attend and life come first. Anyhow, after mentioning in yesterday's post that I wished to shorten the name of the event one of my wonderful readers, Kellie, came up with the name: Inspired by Film and I've decided to use this name the entire week in reference to the event. Thanks, Kellie, you are a dear!
Alright, my inspiration for today came from the Hallmark film, The Magic of Ordinary Days which is set in the 1940s. Livvy's wardrobe is beautiful and I can see myself copying her look again in the coming weeks and months. For my outfit I picked out a floral blouse that felt very Livvy like (since she wears a lot of floral prints); a navy skirt (one of her main colors that she wears); and then accessorized with a vintage hat, drop earrings, and a cameo necklace. See dressing in an inspired vintage look isn't too hard. *smile* You see, to make it more of a challenge for me, I didn't wear any of my 1940s dresses that I've made over the years, as that is too easy to me -- plus this event is supposed to be a challenge and not a-piece-of-cake. *grin*
(Also, I've been meaning to mention that all of my indoor outfit pictures are taken inside my parents bedroom, and not mine. Once me & my sister, Hanne-col are finished rearranging all the furniture in our room & reorganize it a bit -- I'll be doing a room tour video/post.)
Floral Blouse -- Kohl's
Navy Blue Skirt -- Thrifted
Belt -- Vintage
Plum Tights -- JCP or Kohl's
Oxfords -- ModCloth
Hat -- Vintage
Earrings -- Little Black Bag
Cameo Necklace -- Portobello Road Market

Those shoes are soooo cute! Love them! Your outfit is adorable too! Have a blessed night. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that outfit! That's good to see you wearing your Portabello Road cameo. I wear mine all the time. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! And I like how you're not just being easy on yourself and choosing a '40s dress, but actually trying to replicate the look through modern clothes. I would love to do this event, but I don't have the right clothes, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is stunning. Love your hair like that as well... and the hat!!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Can't wait for your room tour! I love seeing how people decorate. :)

Charming, simply charming, Ashley! It's rather funny, because Brigid and I were inspired by the same film for our outfits ;)

Excited for today's link up!

Magic of Ordinary Days is such a sweet, beautiful movie! I watch it regularly! It almost needed a sequel...but then most things ARE better left without sequels to ruin the "magic" of the original. Cute outfit, lady! Love that cameo!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this series! I wasn't prepared this time around, but I hope you'll do it again so I can participate
ReplyDeleteThese posts are so fun! I love these!!!
