Sam Style: Dressing like a boy

As you may have already gathered I take a lot of my inspiration from film, and today I took it upon myself to dress like Sam from Benny & Joon , a film that is very suited to me, being something of a misfit myself. Other male film icons of mine being Vincent Price and Jacques Tati  are always an influence. I do enjoy dressing like a boy sometimes, it makes me confident in a different way that pretty dresses do. Plus brogues and stripey socks are like my bestest favourite combination.

    You look adorable in menswear!! I love it. Such a great movie too!
    And I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets style inspiration from the fellas ;-)

    You look very, very cool! There is something about a woman dressing like a man, I'm not sure I can explain it...perhaps it's the mixture of the vunerability of a woman and the masculine power that suits give off. x

    Lady Cherry: Thanks, I am anything but though. Yeah I completely agree, e.g. Marlene Dietrich! x

    I LOVE this outfit, it really suits you. Have you been watching Boardwalk empire? One of my favourite looks is the lady nightclub host who wears a tux and top hat, very Marlene. We have to do a 'borrowed from the boy' display theme at work and you my dear will now be my inspiration... :) xxx

    I am quite fond of both those shoes and the corner of the metal bedstead that I see! I want one just like that and am having an impossible time finding one!

    I loved your blog. I found it because I was searching Paris where I lived for one year and miss.
    I thought nobody knew this movie. It was the first time I watched Johnny Deep and didn't know he was "Johnny Deep".
    I admired his work at this movie.
    You are very nice as a Tom boy.
    :)
