What I Wore :: Gym Edition

Last night, we saw Moonrise Kingdom. So now I have to tuck my shirts in for awhile. Gosh, I love Wes Anderson. He really hits the mark. The children in the movie are in a golden bubble of innocence where everything is simple and sweet -even when they think their little messes are insurmountable. Meanwhile the adults' lives really are in a torrent!

Moonrise Kingdom is absolutely Anderson. For all those people who say that they just don't get Life Aquatic and thought it was terrible, don't even bother with this. It felt like Anderson really embraced his idiosyncratic pacing for once. I mean, he uses these long, slow shots in his other movies, but in this one they are central to how the story is told. It might get old if you were impatient or not a fan. I though it was brilliant.

There's not as much of the franticness of Darjeeling Ltd. or Fantastic Mister Fox. A slight relief.

The casting was so good that I forgot to mind that there were no Wilson brothers.

What I Wore: Zissou Edition

Because I have had my nose in my books rather than in my online circuit lately, I missed out on a pretty cool party over at Paper Sparrow. It was a one day Wes Anderson celebration. Funny thing is, I already had this post planned. My brother Justus and I share a love for Wes' movies and plan to have a film fest to view them in order over the course of a few days or weeks. This is what I wore will not wear because it turns out that (after you have a few kids anyway) there is such a thing as too short.

I do kinda wish I had a pretty little yellow bow to complete this thrifted look.

I just know you are wondering what I wore for my first day back in school. It was this one. What's more interesting, though, is what I wore to orientation (think cotton candy on a rainy day...), but you'll have to wait because I don't have pictures.
