Shirt, Belt, Necklace (Popbasic; Similar Here), Bracelets (Popbasic; Similar Here), Skirt, Sandal
Lauren Becall's character dons a classic look with a full skirt, understated jewelry, and fresh, white button-up. Since she's working at a resort in Key Largo, she's sporting some practical espadrille shoes. Update the look by making them espadrille sandals. Since the film is in black and white, I'd never thought about the colors, but stills show Becall in a gorgeous green color. Take a page out of her book, and get a full, colorful skirt. Finally, top off the look with some jewelry. Both the necklace and bracelets shown here are from Popbasic and therefore no longer available, but with such classic looks, you can find similar items.
The key to this next look is all about the accessories. Claire Trevor won Best Supporting Actress for her role as a singer past her hey-day and is stuck living out the sad story of her trademark song, "Moaning Low." This dress is casual, but has fun details at the sleeves. Likewise, the high neckline isn't showy, but is perfect for showing off gads of pearls. Add some costume jewelry to give it that proper vintage touch, and you're ready to go!
I love that green skirt and can really see you wearing that whole ensemble.

Reply DeleteI always hate Claire Trevor's scene, though. She's so good it's painful to watch.
