femme fatale

I love old movies. There’s something about the combination of the style mixed with an emphasis on dialog over special effects that gets me every time. But a big part of it is probably the style. (I once saw an exhibition that included both Audrey Hepburn’s dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Grace Kelly’s dress from Rear Window. I thought I might die from excitement.)

This outfit has that old movie feel to me. Like our girl would be sitting in an outdoor cafe (obviously in Europe), spying on the male lead through those dark glasses. But at the same time, you could look just as chic and modern wearing this outfit today. (Spying optional.)
