The movie is Penelope staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. Penelope's style in it is so beautiful and feminine, that I love it all.
For this post, though, I especially wanted to point out my favorite outfit in it. I did several Google searches to find a picture of it, but, unfortunately, I could not find any good ones.
I did, however, notice another lovely aspect of her style. She wears a lot of heeled oxfords, which I love! I only noticed them once or twice the first few times I saw it, and I didn't even know what they were called. I just knew that I loved those shoes! Today, however, while looking through the screenshots, I realized that she really wears them quite often, and that I now know what they are! I have seen them many times before on Some Girls Wander, which I have been reading (and admiring) regularly the past couple weeks.

Emily AgainThe shoes are so old-fashioned and lady like, yet fun and creative with the colored tights. They're so elegant, and yet they are casual enough to wear for no reason in particular. I don't know what it is, but I just love these shoes. And I now I desperately want some. As soon as I can find the right pair, you can be sure I shall drag my dad over to the computer and make him help me order them!
I haven't seen that film, but will have to look out for it!

Emily's outfits!!! Oh my goodness, just perfect - I'm drooling!
ReplyDeleteI love the movie Penelope, probably one of my favorite films. Her style was so amazing and the story was so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved her style in that film! Her coat, especially. I have been trying to hunt down a pair of green mary-jane pumps just like the ones she frequently wears throughout the film! No luck thus far, however =(!
