Funny Face

I recently watched Funny Face for the first time... I had been missing out!!



Needless to say, I was endlessly inspired by Audrey Hepburn's fab '60s style.I wore this orange sweater to simulate Audrey's androgynous shape, and wore it with black skinny pnats, of course!

 
I also wore my purple '60s jacket! I liked the very mod orange-and-purple combination. I wore my brown booties and brown purse to add some warm depth!


...I need to stop looking on ebay. I bought a bunch of apron patterns yesterday (SO EXCITED), and today I found some sweeeet summer clothes patterns: one for rompers (one with long sleeves and long legs, the other sleeveless with shorts), one for a sundress and lined jacket, and a third for shorts/pants/pencil skirt WITH SUSPENDERS. Oh yes! Luckily, they're not expensive and shipping is really low because they're so light. So. At least now I can avoid ebay, assured that I have enough sewing fodder to last me for a long time!


Speaking of sewing, I worked some more on my skirt today... I'm using a double-needle for the first time, and the silly thread kept knotting and breaking and being all-around uncooperative. I think it was the rainy morning weather ;) It must have been!




I'll leave you with a funny dancing shot! Happy Monday everyone!

  9. Awww, cute! I love how you used the film as inspiration. You're so good at "theming" your outfits in that way. Awesome sweater, and the purple coat and reddish-brown boots and bag look great with it.

  13. Oh, I love old movies! Roman Holiday is my favourite, but Funny Face is great, too :) I've always admired Audrey's ability to pull off any style, and I love how you modernised her iconic Funny Face look here (especially that purple coat- you have the best colourful things in your wardrobe!) Also, I can totally sympathise with your eBay habit... I constantly feel compelled to buy J. Crew shoes on eBay, even though I still can't really afford them, just because the prices are lower and they're so pretty!
    xox,
    Cee
