Welcome to the first weekly Flick Pick! Every Saturday, I will highlight one of my favorite movies! I'll also look at some of the fashion within the movie and prove to you that it's worth watching (if you for some reason haven't seen it yet). This week, I'll be talking about Dazed and Confused!
Dazed and Confused is my go-to beginning-of-summer movie. It follows a group of rising high school freshman and rising seniors on the last day of school in 1976. Great music, great actors, great one-liners, and great wardrobe. The cast of the 1993 Richard Linklater movie features a handful of unknowns and a handful of big stars: Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, and Milla Jovovich to name a few. Being a bit of a Broadway Baby, I also love seeing Anthony Rapp (original Mark in RENT) as the sort-of-dorky rising senior, Tony.
1970s fashion seems to make a comeback every summer around "summer music festival" time. You could easily get away with wearing just about any of the outfits worn by these ladies to an outdoor concert or festival this summer. What am I talking about? Throw on a maxi dress and sandals and head to the grocery store! 1970s fashion is here to stay.
Let's look at Milla Jovovich as Michelle Burroughs:
You can create an outfit inspired by Milla's look with pieces like these:
Lace Trim Bandeau Top in Electric Berry (Free People, $28.00)
Bell Bottom Super Flare Jeans in Pale Blue Whiskered (7 For All Mankind, $178.00)
Cord Fringe Vest in Mocha (Akira, $36.90)
Butterfly Perf Stretch Belt in Tan (Fossil, $38.00)
Cutout Cross Charm Necklace in Silver (Forever 21, $4.80)
Boho Braided Necklace in Turquoise/Red (Forever 21, $4.80)
GoMax Berdine 31 Be Strappy Flat Thong Sandals in Brown (Lulu's, $20.00)
Go grab your acoustic guitar and make your last day of school the best one ever.
("It'd be a lot cooler if you did!")
