I want to be the heroine. You know what I mean? Clothes you can adventure in. They might not be the hugely fashionable thing, but you can live in them.
This movie is a little... but, anyways, KD looks and behaves the way I mean:
Her jacket comes on and off, she spends the whole day just running around, and looks totally unconscious of what she's wearing. I know it's a movie, but the spirit is right. I'm looking for a sort of loose, sixties feel. Happy and light and careless. I'm not sure what the clothes to get this feel would actually be, but I think knowing this will help.
I know what my clothes must not be, though. Nothing I have to layer or be always adjusting. Nothing too expensive, because feeling free and careless in expensive clothing is almost impossible. Everything well-fitted and flattering, so I feel confident that I look my best and can think no more about it.
How nice does that sound?
Pretty darn nice, I think.
Next day: found this on the Terrier and the Lobster and it's go the feel I want, too -
