Style Source: Clueless

Hearing early buzz about a sequel to Clueless, beloved movie of my girlhood, I've been remembering the ridiculous inspired-by outfits I created as a twelve year old...not to mention blasting the soundtrack from my older brother's boombox oh and maybe reading the books they released post-movie. I became sort of unnaturally attached to the "whatevers" and "Bettys" and "Monets," yes, but I like to think I was not alone in my preteen obsession.

So I thought, what would I wear as a sort of then meets now interpretation of the iconic movie's look. I loved Cher's berets, headbands (she beat Blair by over a decade), short sleeves over long sleeved button downs, dresses over tees and inspired use of color, so those stay, but some things get a bit of an update. Mary Jane styles are still most certainly in the mix, but updated with multiple straps. The lace-up bootie also makes an appearance, as Miss Horowitz would clearly embrace this trend. Other updates include colorful thigh-highs replacing Cher's ubiquitous knee socks and more on-trend and on-season patterns like ikats and painterly strokes taking over where the star's argyles and plaids left off (though come fall, those are prints are always the right choices).
