MY BLOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

 

 Fashion Icons??? I remember being in sixth grade and looking up online "how to become a fashion icon?". I was very into Audrey Hepburn at the time and I remember one video specifically saying that she cast such a large shadow in the fashion world that no one has been able to come out of. I was so determined to be that one girl who became the epitome of fashion. Although, I was never quite able to come up with a fashion sense of my own and that is something that I still struggle with today. Do I want to be a person that dresses like they go to Coachella everyday or someone who wears all black and slicks back their bobbed hair with a black coach purse on their arm. Or do I want to be someone that wears a dress everyday or someone that brings back classic 80's looks. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA. But to help me on this fashion journey, I have many timeless icons that inspire me to wear what I love (again, still not clear on what that is). So every week, I will be doing one post about a person whose closet I admire.

               Today's post is about Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. She was so


fearless. Her outfits were a reflection of her and I think that is so important in fashion. She found a way to have fun with her wardrobe. Everything about her characters were so different than everyone else. That iconic boyish bob was so unique and cool. The black trench coat she wore with the sewn on pink buttons and the hat with mix match buttons in Sixteen Candles was such a statement! My favorite part of Pretty in Pink was the one dangling earring she wore. Everything about the two characters was so not put together that it was! Some people absolutely hate the clothes from these two movies but to me, it wasn't even about the clothes. It was the fact that she was wearing them with confidence.  From her circle glasses to her eighty's white sneakers she was everything I aspire to be when it comes to fashion and style.

ps- I had to remove the pretty photos because of owner rights and stuff... I'm working on it though:)
