Morning all! Merry Christmas Eve! As a sort of Christmas treat I thought I'd show you my ultimate style icon for this year: Duckie from 'Pretty in Pink' (an 80s John Hughes film). He's kooky, fashionable and sweet - the perfect mix and pretty much my dream guy (if he wasn't desperately in love with Andy, and I didn't have a boyfriend.)
The film shows the divide between rich and poor and how love can bridge the gap, and is a total 80s classic. Romance, conflict and friendship reigns and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Check it out (I'm sure you can find it in HMV or on Netflix).
On to Duckie-inspired outfit~
Crucial: hat, rolled up sleeves and duck feet!
Jacket: Vintage via One Legged Jockey (shop in Chichester - very awesome!)
Shirt: charity shop
Cords: Dorothy Perkins (customized with patch)
Bowler hat: New Look
Shoes: vintage via charity shop
Duck feet!
I based the outfit on Duckie's school army-jacket ensemble! How close did I get? (Aside from the gender difference and lack of sunglasses and waistcoat?) He's epic, isn't he?
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas!! Look forward to a post either boxing day or the day after.
