I was listening to She & Him the other day and I started thinking about Zooey Deschanel’s indie-rock-pixie-goddess style, so that’s where this came from. Zooey’s absolutely adorable with indie cred oozing out of her ears…although that aforementioned cred certainly did take a hit with her god-awful Absolut ads. I’m sorry, but how is putting her in a mini-skirt, dying her hair blonde, telling her to rock the duck-face, and splashing the recipe for a cosmopolitan on the corner of the page consistent with the image of herself that she’s worked so hard to craft?
It isn’t.
Suckfest.
Anyway, here’s Zooey looking adorable – as a brunette, of course. She should always be a brunette because that’s just the best thing to be. Sorry, but it’s true. Leading experts, meaning me, agree.
And here’s a knocked off version of her cute look that can be worn to the office.
Denise Belted Dress ………. $24.80
Calvin Klein Diagonal Lines Tights ………. $11.90
Glitz Canvas Bow Flats ………. $14.80
Rhinestone Link Bangle Bracelet ………. $22.95
Silver Barrette ………. $4.99
The dress is from Forever21 and is surprisingly similar to Zooey’s. It’s got a bit of a tulip skirt, and probably hits above the knee.
The thing is, if you’re wearing tights, you can get away with dresses that are just an inch or two shorter than what they perhaps should be. So I picked these tights from one of my new favorite stores, Lori’s Shoes. She’s got accessories like socks and tights and gloves and hats, plus handbags and shoes and jewelry from her trips to Europe. And she’s a down-home Chicago gal, so that’s always a plus, because we Midwesterners are AWESOME.
It’s our wholesome values and our ability not to clog intersections when the signals go out.
(I was born and kind of raised in Boston and, lemme tell ya, when there’s a storm and the signals all go out, everyone rushes into the intersection and just sits there and honks. It’s so dumb.)
I went with the clean little bow flats from Forever21, and the sparkly chain link bracelet from NY&C. Zooey’s big on barrettes, so I threw in a little silver one I found through Froogle. Best name for a shopping site/service EVER.
And there we have a cutesy look inspired by Zooey Deschanel. And here we have one of my favorite songs from her band.
I adore her because she is adorable. She recently married Ben Gibbard from Deathcab for Cutie/ The Postal Service. They are going to have wonderfully cute/talented children. *sigh
They really, really are! 😀
i hate ben gibbard for totally cheating on the most kick ass punk rock cute as shit lady when he met zooey. ehh. but aside – i dig her. also them feet look HUGE in her shoes.
Hahaha, I didn’t even notice! And I admit, I’m not hip to the details of their romance. Who was he with before her?
omg her feet do look huge in those shoes! bahahahaah
love. her.
[…] Deschanel huge feet – Haha. If we’re judging her solely on this picture, then yes, she probably does have huge feet. […]
