[STYLE IN SPADES]

So today it’s all about this chick:.

Zooey Deschanel.

.

Lots of my friends are obsessed with her style because she’s quirky, and beautiful in a way that’s not threatening.

(Until she points a water gun at you!)

Her wardrobe staple is the black opaque tight, which she usually pairs with short, colorful, retro cut dresses and lots of girly accessories. She also seems to wear blue like 90% of the time- most likely to accentuate her crazy beautiful blue eyes.

^Black tights, girly bow accessories, and blue

Girls love her because she… well, doesn’t dress like a ho. In fact, in the picture below, only her hands, neck, and face are exposed.

And I, personally, love her because of this outfit below. None of the colors are supposed to be worn together- brown, black, navy blue, light blue, white. But somehow it just works. Skills..

I saw 500 Days of Summer in theatre, and enjoyed it. It was like a modern day Annie Hall.

However, I can’t stand it when a movie character’s style is dictated by the actress’ own personal style.

^Hello dark opaque tights. Hi blue. Is that a bow I see on the back of her shirt?

P.S. The other day I was talking to a friend on iChat & she told me she liked the wallpaper in my bedroom because it reminded her of Summer’s bedroom in the movie. French blue toile.

I also weirdly have a very similar headboard to hers in gold. Hrm. How did that happen?

Love? Hate? Et Cetera?
