Steal This Look

One Fine Day {updated today}
So last week I Just felt like watching this fine movie from the past....Michelle Pfeiffer is just the ultiamte style icon. Well in this movie, she wears a little vest and jacket pencil skirt suit to work with a classic trench coat and heels. She layers it all so well and during the movie she ends up slipping into a dinosaur T-shirt with the skirt and jacket.....due to a spill from her son. This dino-T look just so happens to be better than the original collared shirt she started her day with. The T and the Pencil skirt is the look I am loving for fall!

The movie is shot all in one fine day and she changes the look up all day, from dino T to a silk scarf.....Watch the movie. After looking at J.Crew's fall line, pairing a Subtle graphic T with a pencil skirt and some heels is so chic and fun for Fall! Add a long necklace or even pearls {or silk scarf} and your look will be an updated Melanie Parker....AKA Michelle Pfeiffer.

So go and watch the movie....You'll see what I mean, and then go browse the latest J.Crew and plan your look!

**Tip: Create, don’t Copy. Instead of copying Michelle's style directly, create your own signature style. Sure, it can be based on that of your style icon, but make it your own. Katharine Hepburn made trousers her signature piece. What will your signature piece be?

I totally remember that part. I even remember thinking "I love that T-shirt" and it was years ago when I last saw it.

I totally remember that dino-riffic outfit she made. I thought she looked so cute, and hell-o, so tiny! Thanks for the pencil skirt suggestion. This is my kind of look.

I think of that little boy dinosaur T every time I put on a suit. She is breathtaking. Like you suggested, I don't want to copy. I think my son has a cute, yellow motorcycle shirt that would go nicely with my interview suit. Only how did she ever SQUEEZE into that thing? I couldn't get my wrist through the arm hole.
