Chilly Mornings, Warm Afternoons

 

Cardigan: Thrifted Eddie Bauer, Tee: Walmart, Jeans: Target, Sandals: Birkenstocks, Hat: Scala (mens I think!)

The mornings are getting chilly here so fall has definitely arrived. I put out some of my fall decorations and well, let's face it, I've already been drinking pumpkin spice coffee for about 2 weeks now! I'm currently watching Halloween Baking Championship and Great British Baking Show and getting some major urges to bake!

A Little Bit a Fall

 

Top: Old Navy, Jeans: Thrifted and distressed, Sandals: Blowfish, Scarf: Thrifted

Mixing a little bit of fall color into my wardrobe for some late summer transitions. I dug into my scarf collection, which is gathering a little bit of dust, for some easy accessorizing. And, yeah, kinda still copying the Goldie Hawn outfit inspo from her 90s movie Housesitter! Sorry! Can't help it!

Recreating Goldie's Outfit


Remember my last post? Well, I am still obsessed with Goldie Hawn's outfits from Housesitter...so I just HAD to recreate one of the looks! To be honest, I'm probably not going to stop at just one recreation! I'm kinda obsessed.

Here's a clip from the movie where the inspo came from:




I just shopped my own closet! I love her sweatshirt 10x more than mine but that just gives me something to thrift the next time I'm at the thrift store!

I had the boots, I had the jeans, I had a brooch (not a gold one though...another thing to thrift!)

Goldie's Outfits in the 1992 Movie Housesitter

 



Have you ever seen the 1992 rom-com Housesitter? Well, it popped up on Hulu a few weeks back and I remembered how much I loved this movie! I added it to my watchlist and finally got around to it this weekend. Yep, it's still as funny as it was the first time. Goldie and Steve have great chemistry but come to think of it, Goldie Hawn ALWAYS has great chemistry...with everyone! 

She plays a girl named Gwen that is kind of a con-artist but only in the best way. Steve plays a practical but gullible guy named Davis. BUT the best part was revisiting all of Goldie's outfits! I forgot how awesome they were.

I took some screenshots so I could round them all up and post here. I loved them all!!!

(Now, these are all screenshots so, bad quality, but you can still get the jist.)

Also, I'm going in order of the way they appear in the movie. I love how the costume designer reused her pieces and mixed in some menswear from his closet to come up with new outfits.



First up...look at these beautiful high waisted jeans and cute cropped cardigan she's wearing as a shirt.



Now, this next one is probably my favorite outfit. 
Faded high waisted Levi's, a red bodysuit, an animal print furry cropped coat and cowboy boots! She's wearing a brooch on her jeans near the pocket. We will see that and the necklace again later in the movie.




This next one feels very 90s. A floral babydoll sheer dress and black leggings with flats. We will see the flats again too. Here, Gwen is with Becky (played by Dana Delany) who is very classic J Crew. 




This one might be her most recognizable one from the movie? Maybe it's just me. I feel like I have seen this one a bit more than the others. I love it. Black flats are back! 



I loved how they really put her in a lot of bright colors. She makes great use of accessories.



A little red, white and blue number! The tassel necklace is back too.



Her hilarious dance montage scene!



Recycling the cute jeans and cowboy boots with an oversized men's sweatshirt (Davis gives her a hard time in the movie for wearing his clothes) I kinda wanna wear this outfit asap.




Looking stunning in a beautiful royal blue off the shoulder sweater! I believe she has the leggings on again in this scene.



Mixing a little 80s and 90s with the broad shoulder cropped blazer and dark floral mini skirt. The brooch makes a comeback here too. You can also see a little blue scrunchie? around her wrist that shows up in some other outfits.




I love this balloon sleeve sweater!



And here's the mens sweatshirt again, the brooch, the black leggings and the black flats.





We get the Levi's again, the white tee shirt and the tassel necklace again in this scene. You can never go wrong with Levi's and a white tee.



The classic LBD with more great accessories! I feel like I have seen more than my fair share of these necklaces at the thrift.




And the last scene with this AWESOME winter SWEATER!!! The jeans and the boots are back and the scarf from the hot orange outfit too!



I feel like you could thrift any one of these items. Good inspiration!

Thank you, thank you very much

 

Elvis Tee: a little shop in Gatlinburg, Bike shorts: Amazon, Sneakers: Nike Air 270

One of the best trips I ever took was a road trip to Graceland! We camped at the Graceland RV & Campground across the road from the big house. We toured the house and the grounds and...IT WAS AAMAAAAZING!!! So many vintage TREASURES! Later that week we hopped an Uber to downtown Memphis and caught the Beale Street Music Festival. Saw some great bands and had a wonderful pre-COVID large gathering experience!

A Little Birthday Never Hurt Nobody

Cardigan as a top: Thrifted, Jeans: Target, Shoes: terribly old Target ☺, Handbag: Coach

I'm not really a "handbag girl". I basically have one bag that I carry ALL THE TIME. I've got some little special bags for the rare special event and do I love my fanny packs! I've got a great little collection going! Anyway, the straps on my everyday bag had worn pretty thin. I've grown to love the simple, easy, and chic style of Coach and I love to check the outlet website for good deals! I downsized quite a bit when I went with this little bucket bag and I gotta say - I love it.
