Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to try out some Marilyn Monroe style lately. You know, that classic, glamorous look she had? I decided to give it a shot and document how it went. Here’s what happened.
First off, I started digging into what made Marilyn’s style so iconic. It’s a lot about those fitted dresses that really show off the waist. I mean, that’s a big part of her whole vibe, right? And William Travilla, that designer guy, was apparently a genius behind a lot of her famous outfits.
Getting the Clothes Right
So, I went looking for dresses that fit that style. I tried on a bunch of them to find ones that felt right. It’s all about how they hug your body, especially around the waist. That’s what gives you that classic Marilyn silhouette. The dress really is the foundation of this whole look.
More Than Just Dresses
But it’s not just about dresses. I found out that in her personal life, Marilyn was into simpler stuff, too. Like, she’d wear shirts and capri pants, or those black beatnik sweaters. And let’s not forget those big, comfy fur coats in beige and cream. I tried mixing some of these into my outfits, too. It’s like, you get the best of both worlds – the glam and the comfy casual.
Putting It All Together
Then came the fun part – actually wearing these outfits out. I felt pretty cool, not gonna lie. It’s like stepping into a different era or something. People definitely noticed, especially when I had on those fitted dresses. But even the simpler outfits got some looks. It’s amazing how clothes can totally change how you feel and how people see you. I mean, one minute I’m just regular me, and the next I’m channeling some serious old Hollywood vibes.
The Results
- Fitted Dresses: These were a total win. They really do make you feel like you’re in a movie or something.
- Casual Stuff: The shirts, capri pants, and sweaters were great for a more laid-back but still stylish look.
- Fur Coats: Oh man, these are so luxurious. They add instant glam to any outfit.
All in all, trying out Marilyn Monroe’s style was a blast. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling confident and a bit like a movie star. If you’re thinking about giving it a try, I say go for it. It’s fun to mix things up and see how different styles make you feel. And who knows, you might just find your new favorite look!
