Life In Film: The Sound Of Music

By Emily Kropp in Life In Film
on August 26, 2010

The second installment in our "Life In Film" series draws inspiration from one of our favorite movie musicals ever: The Sound of Music.

We’ve always been a bit inspired by the character of Maria – she’s the cloud that’s impossible to pin down! Now, thanks to the hemlines, textures, and prints in style for fall, we can rock her free-spirited Austrian style without looking like we’re suited up for a Halloween party. See below for some highlights from the classic film, as well as our top picks for your look and your home...

I love this, too! I am struck by the color of those adorable sailor outfits - sky blue with grass green trim. Colors that we are using today. Classic I guess, but used uniquely. I love those collars. Is 53 too old to wear a sailor collar?
