She was a different kind of woman for the time. But anyone who loves vintage fashion looks up to her. Today disappoints me that she is kind of a fashionable thing right now, and some girls go and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's and call themselves her biggest fans and stuff. Well, they will never really know how she was like.
So, as us mere mortals have not the pleasure of having Givenchy to design for ourselves, I reunited 5 easy things to do today inspired in her looks. Genuine things, not those pseudo-fan things.
Copying Audrey: she is doing it so wrong.
1. Shirt + belt + skirt
Easy and feminine. Everyone who loves vintage must have a A-line, high-waisted skirt. And everyone must have a nice fitted white shirt (and other colors are great too). The thick belt is great to create a silhouette. I really think this looks fancy and lovely.
2. Checked shirt + small loop earrings
With a nice and simple hairdo, is perfect for days when you don't want to wear a skirt or dress (even though I love skirts and dresses, sometimes is not very practical). The good thing is also you can find this kind of shirt anywhere these days.
3.Glittery eyes
Audrey was quite ahead of her time in this. Well, if it is to put glitter, put a lot of it, and complete with nice eyeliner and mascara. Big full lashes were rule those days. But I think they kept it quite natural. I see some women today with ridiculously big fake lashes. Makes them look funny, not pretty.
4. Cute ponytail
Oh, hot sunny days. I'm suffering with them now. It is really hot here in Brazil between december and january. So hot you feel ill. The best thing these days is to put fresh clothes and put your hair up. So why not in this adorable ponytail? Just do a high one and add a ribbon to it. So simple.
5. Where shoes you can walk on
Girls do forget that lately. I see them stumbling around in 9 inch heels and it's so silly! The supposedly powerful and sexy effect is totally washed away. And it is so much fun to be with a woman which heels hurt so much she can barely stay up after half an hour and complain about it every 5 seconds, isn't it? So go and buy yourself comfortable and realistic heels. Nice guys prefer woman who can walk with them. For a long time. And dance too.
No one can be like Audrey. She was so unique. But we can learn from her cheerful and ladylike personality, and try to be as stylish as she was. Just try, of course.
