I bought this scarf from Urban Outfitters a couple of years ago when I was planning on being Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie & Clyde fame) for Halloween. (I ended up actually going as some slutty gypsy-pirate-girl clad in 100% overpriced polyester instead because apparently my Clyde wasn't feeling it. But that's another story...)
Since I finally got the guts to do the hair (surprise!), I thought I'd be a cool cat and wear an outfit inspired by the 1967 film. I didn't want to go too all out, you know, since it's not Halloween or anything, and literal interpretations are a bit scary on normal days. I mean, the beret would have been cute and all, but I'll save it.
The scarves are close, right? I think I need to work on my suspicious/pissed off look a little more though. I'm pretty good at the pissed off look (DAMN YOU, CAMERA. I'MMA STARE YOU DOWN AND LOOK INTO YOUR SOUL.), and kind of good at the, "Ooh, what's that over there?" surprised look, but combining the two is quite a challenge. My hat's off to you, Faye. (That's why I'm not wearing one.)
Anyway, perhaps with any luck, someday I will finally fulfill my dream of dressing up as Bonnie (with a Clyde who is not a stick in the mud) for Halloween, complete with beret. For now I'll just wear this.

cutest post ever! the scarf is very close to Bonnie's you are right! i think you do have the suspicious look inside of you:p x
ReplyDeleteI love your hair! It looks great. I've been thinking I need to lop a good amount off as well!
ReplyDeletethe scarf is fantastic!
Bonnie is a great character to be for Halloween and you have the potential to hit the ball out of the park. You have that youthful insouciance. Plus, I'd believe you kill people... Your stare alone has sometimes stopped my breathing.
ReplyDeleteI totally wanted to be Bonnie and Clyde one year too and the ex was not feeling it! I should have known then hehe. I LOVE your hair gorgeous! That close up picture of you is just stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh your shoes are so cute! And you can/could pull off being Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteASH I LOVE your hair! You can literally pull of any style/colour but I love this shorter do with the natural highlights- it really makes your eyes pop and your skin looks more tanned. Now on to the outfit- I love that scarf- I think I've disclosed previously my scarf addiction and how very Bonnie fabulous of you!
ReplyDeleteOMG, BONNIE. THAT'S MY NAME. EEEEEEEEE.
ReplyDeleteI feel famous now.
Okay, your hair is totally effing gorge. I love it. I have always loved your hair, though. I love it long. I love it shorter. It's beautiful.
I also love your eyes. And your eyelashes. Just FYI.

I wish I could do the poses that you do. Any of them. Just once I'd like to look that beautiful in a photo. JUST ONCE, DAMN YOUUUUUUUU!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love the hair. Love the nod to Bonnie of the Bonnie and Clyde duo. Faye is perfect in every way. You are the perfect 2011 version, I think. It's amazing how close the scarves match.
Again you made me gasp when I saw your photos and guffaw when I read your text. You are my perfect soul mate. If I wasn't already married that is....
xoxo,

Oh your hair looks so great! Was the first thing I noticed and that hair is really really really looking good on you.
ReplyDeleteScrolling down, reading all the text I totally think you look good as a Bonnie. The scarf is really similiar indeed.
OMG, you did the hair! You look awesome, seriously. Like I knew you could totally pull off the short hair and all, but holy crap do you look H.O.T., hot like the best hot day in the summer, like that. And your hair is back to blonde with highlights, awe-some-er.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I was stopping by to say hi and I got a major surprise and now I felt like I have been stunned with the stun gun of awesomeness. Jeez, you never cease to impress me. I missed reading your blog!
You have a sense of humor... and style !
ReplyDeleteAmazing how a simple scarf can transform an entire outfit.
the scarf is a dead ringer - and i hope you some day get to live out your halloween costume couple dream.
