{Wardrobe} Wednesday: If...

10.26.2011

It's Wednesday and I worked for almost 10 hours yesterday, so I am VERY glad to have today off.
When I got up this morning to wash my face I started thinking about movies and then the idea,
'If I could play any part in a movie who would it be and why?' 
I had already thought about this question in regards to musicals and it was a three way tie between Eliza Doolittle of My Fair Lady, Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie, or Professor Harold Hill from The Music Man....I know, I know, the professor's a man, but you guys, I know every word and can sing it just as fast and with (nearly) just as much charisma as can the leading men who have played that part, so please, refrain from stepping my theatrical dreams, okay?
The movie question was harder for me though, I would want to play someone very dramatic. Perhaps Ed in Raising Arizona, Penny in O Brother, Where Art Thou? (I just realized it's the same actress in both of those...I guess I really like Holly Hunter.) Baby from Dirty Dancing would also be pretty fun. I don't know though, I don't think I'm 100% certain on any of my choices yet. I'll think about it some more. 
Afterall, an answer to this question is pretty crucial. Obviously.
What about you? Do you have a dream character?
the breakdown:
denim shirt: j.crew outlet $20
sunnies: H&M sale $2
double belt and necklace: forever21 $5/$7
high-rise denim: madewell sale $79
loafers: anthro sale $40

*ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS TO ENTER!

What a great necklace to make a button down pop and dress it up a bit and I'm loving the color of your shoes...super cute look!  You would be great as Baby in "Dirty Dancing"...fun question, but tough indeed for me too!

Haha Love this post. I love RAISING ARIZONIA. So funny. Holly Hunter Rocks. I think I'd love to play Princess Buttercup on Princess Bride... Or Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. Or some sort of super hero would be sweet like Batman.

I absolutely adore this outfit! Those loafers are amazing! I just had to tweet to share this look, but I couldn't find a twitter name of yours to share my shout-out with you! I wanted to let you know that I had done so even still! I loved this whole look to much not to tell everyone about it!

I've always thought it would be the most interesting to play some crazy lady. Like the crazy Catholic mom in "Carrie" or Nina in "Black Swan." SOOO fun. Also, the outfit = adorable :)

FOREVER 21?? That necklace is GORG.

Millie said...

Definitely Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie, I've already got the name, now I just need the wardrobe!

I LOVE your outfit, and your blog! Just found it, and can't stop reading! You mentioned in your love story that your husband likes Germany - did he serve a mission there? I'm just asking because I'm a total nerd, and I'm here with my husband right now as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in a Gymnasium here. 

And... I would totally love to be Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice (the version with Keira Knightley of course), or Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean (I either have a thing for characters named Elizabeth or Keira Knightley, I guess).

Kathleen Kelly from You've Got Mail. She's the most adorable character EVER! She has great hair, she owns a book store, and becomes a writer by the end of the movie. Basically perfection. I don't need drama, I just need happily ever after! :)

Hayley Olsen said...

That is such an interesting question! After much contemplation, I decided I would love to play Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice, Celine from Before Sunrise or Sam from Garden State! They would just be so much fun to play

this post was so cute! and I must say that I've never thought about that...but if I had to pick I would say that I would love to play the part of Lena in the Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants played by Alexis Bledel!

I am definitely going to have to give this question a lot of thought. It sure is a head scratcher.

Hmmm. Ariel Moore from the original footloose (which I just watched the other day). I love her confidence and sass! Plus she gets to dance with bad boy Kevin Bacon ;) Baby is a close second!

Weezer (Shirley Maclaine)from Steel Magnolias. All time greatest movie.

I think I would like to be Summer from 500 Days of Summer. She's so cute.

Alison said...

I love the color of your loafers, and this is coming from the proud owner of four pairs. I approve!

I think it would be super fun to play a Disney princess - the best would be Giselle from Enchanted!
