The film, Mr.
Skeffington, is about a young and beautiful socialite, (Bette Davis as)
Fanny Trellis, who marries an old banker, by the name of Job Skeffington, in
hope of saving her brother from an embezzlement charge.
Day Wear
It was so difficult to find an outfit of hers that was
noticeably (more ‘casual’) day wear. Here she wars a very wide brim hat, with a
fitted blazer and draped maxi skirt. Out of her blazer peeks some ruffled tulle
– I’m going to turn my cheek here, because that’s not a good look.
GUESS by Marciano spread collar shirt, $270 / Strenesse Blue cotton jacket, $405 / Viktor & Rolf pencil skirt, $970 / Nude high heel shoes, $95 / Friis & Company leather crossbody handbag, $67 / Rare London wide brim hat, $22 / New York City Buildings Laser Die Cut
An office-friendly look, here I've teamed the fitted blazer
with a sleeveless white blouse and a draped back skirt in a much shorter style
to make the look fresher. Patent open-toe pumps and bag are both back, as they
need to compliment the contrast colour of the blazer. The hat can be left in or out of the ensemble depending on how daring you are.
Instead of straw, a black hat is used for a more subtle look.
Evening Wear
Bette is meeting suitors in a very extravagant ensemble. She
wears an evening gown which features lace over the bodice and acting as a cape,
giving the impression of a shawl.
Decorated with large plumes, this outfit (while admirable) is quite
over-the-top. She has accessorized with pearls (favourite) so I’ll definitely
include that.
Cream lace dress, $40 / Gabriele Frantzen pearl necklace, $395 / Chain jewelry, $375 / Maiden-Art pearl bracelet / Ziba vintage earrings, $32 / Jane Tran bohemian hair accessory /Small Stick Tree - Silver / John Lewis Silk Flowers, Pack of 12, White, $3.96
So I hope you liked my post today. This one was pretty
difficult as my DVD broke, which left me to search for the outfits over the
web. My next post will be a nail art tutorial,
so you should come back to read that!
