Don’t we all get a little more adventurous during the summer? And what better time to revisit the Thelma and Louise style? You don’t have to take the Thelma & Louise
With their disheveled and dusty looks, weather-beaten tan, high waist blue jeans, white or graphic rock’n roll tank tops, cowboy boots, Susan’s neckerchief made of the sleeves of a denim shirt, and cat-eye sunglasses, they “become more and more natural, but more and more beautiful as it goes on and by the end… just these mythical looking creatures”, as director Ridley Scott said. It’s very American, simple, free-spirited, sexy, and timeless.

this makes me smile. i can’t tell you how many times i watched this movie – it was a favorite of mine as a teenager. in fact i was just putting it on a list for a coming up blog post. i so agree that they became more and more beautiful as the movie went on.
I think my cowboy boots days are over but I will put on that hat. I cannot tell you how often I have watched that film … love these two! I still remember the moment in the cinema during that final scene; it was something extraordinary, so unexpected.
I definitely have a more relaxed aesthetic during the summer and opt to take more risks (not T&L risks, just the fashion variety!). It is interesting to consider how much more relaxed and naturally beautiful the women become as the film progresses.
