As I was getting ready to watch the Oscars, I realized I already had a movie-inspired look in my own closet. And it came from Goodwill. It is hard to believe that Clueless is more than 20 years old. The movie is still one of my favorites and I will always sit and watch it if I come across it on TV.
At the time the clothing in the movie was groundbreaking and according to Vogue magazine, “made a lasting impact on fashion.” The colors, patterns, and details defined the 90s and inspired young and old alike.
While I’m no Cher Horowitz, I’m channeling a yellow and navy, plaid jacket instead of her yellow, plaid, pleated miniskirt and matching blazer from Dolce & Gabbana.
I decided to go for skinny jeans, a navy and white polka dot blouse, yellow canvas wedges and a silver Kate Spade canvas tote. The Seven brand jeans were a real steal and are already a favorite of mine. But, the tote was one of my best finds. I paid $4.97 and after a little research I found it originally sold for $150!
One of Cher’s lines in the movie was “Do you prefer ‘fashion victim’ or ‘ensembly challenged’?” but I choose to think that with Goodwill’s help, I can win “Best Dressed.”
By the way, chunky heels are making a comeback this spring, so be sure to keep an eye out for them in one of my upcoming posts!
