Debbie Reynolds stars as Tammy, a young girl who lives on a houseboat in Mississippi. She is young and her clothing options are few but they are practical and super comfy looking. So for your last or first lazy summer days, I give you Tammy's look with a dash of retro chic!
I thought Freddies of Pinewood's Clam Diggers were just perfect for this look-aren't these cute! I paired them up with another Freddies piece, a red and cream 1940's styled blouse. And although technically Tammy didn't wear shoes while she lived in the houseboat with her grandpa, I couldn't help myself when I saw these Miss L Fire shoes. They are from the 2012 line so they aren't sold online but omg I love them!
Tammy lives in the country and then through circumstances beyond her control she moves in with a wealthy family. Her love interest dreams of becoming a farmer and her dearest friend is her goat named Nan. So I wanted to include those elements into the outfit and did so with the fruit on the shoes and purse-a red wicker handbag by Pinup Girl Clothing. I also found these adorable red goat earrings on Etsy from a shop called OneUglyUnicorn. Too cute!
I adore braids in the hair and put them in my daughter's hair whenever I can. To finish off Tammy's look why not try some braids in your hair. I just love this Half Crown Braid!
I found some other amazing braid tutorials on Youtube. I am so inspired to try some in my hair now hehe You can see how a Classic French Braid is done here, a Lauren Conrad Side Braid here, or a 4 Strand Slide Up Braid is done here.
I cannot believe the summer is coming to an end for us. It sure went by fast! Next week I will present one last summer inspired outfit and then move into the fall...my favorite season! If you have any fall themed film suggestions that you love, let me know! I'd love to hear from you!
Too cute, Bunny! I can totally pull off that outfit, b/c I have an ever growing collection of vintage plaid camp shirts. They are so comfy, I love them. It's my inner-preppy coming out I think.
