Colorful Clothes Make me Happy

Bucket hats, trenchcoats, ascots, turtlenecks, tall boots. The outfits on Netflix's Emily in Paris are filled with prints, patterns, and most of all, color! Emily's perky positivity combined with her PR pitches and the soapy drama of it all makes it a fun watch. I like watching Lily Collins on screen and the show's funky fashion recently inspired a shopping spree of my own to add more color to my wardrobe :) 

Here are some of my favorite looks from the first three sesasons --

Miniskirt Murder & Fashion Forensics

Several years back, I was glued to the screen for the fun and fashionable cast of characters of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. It wasn't until a recent visit to the library, where a colorful DVD cover caught my eye, that I learned the creators had made a spin off! 

The show sticks to the script of a lady private detective and eye-catching period piece; but this time we're following Phryne's niece, Peregrine Fisher, in 1960's Melbourne. As I mentioned in this post, the pacing drags a bit in Season 1, but her wardrobe and spunky personality were a big enough hook for me. Plus, the show is backed by a mostly female creative and production team which helps authenticate the various feminist topics covered throughout the season. But to be honest, I mostly watch for the fashions and Geraldine Hakewill. 

And my absolute favorite look -- the purple plaid pantsuit!
