Une Femme Est Une Femme



OBVIOUSLY this outfit was inspired by Anna Karina and Nouvelle Vague. Nouvelle Vague girls are simply the best, I'll never stop trying to emulate their style.



 One day I want this hairdo.


You'd think the references in my outfit were pretty obvious, right? Red tights, midi skirt, a French beret, breton stripes, flats and tartan. And YET, almost everyone in my class told me I looked real Scottish. Seriously people? Get a CLUE, AS IF!

In fact, two grown ass dudes crossing me on the street muttered something along the line of "I guess it's Scotland theme-night", loudly to ensure I'd hear it. Come on, I expect shit like that from 15 year old testosterone ridden brats who want to compensate for their insecurity by making other people feel bad, but these blokes looked of age. And if someone is old enough to drink liquor, vote, drive a car and screw around, I EXPECT your sorry ass to be old enough not to express yourself like a teenage dirtbag, baby.

I sound more pissed off than I actually was but it was a serious eye-roll moment for me. If I hadn't been so hurried to get to class I totally would have told 'em off.


So, Scottish or French-sixties? Tip: you should pick the second option.

coat, sweater: Pimkie
tights: H&M
skirt, scarf: Think Twice vintage
flats: Kimchi & Blue
beret: old

  4. I love this outfit, and that first photo! You are too cute. Again! And really, this outfit is hardly scottish looking, the only plaid thing is your scarf. Crazy people. I got myself some bangs, and then rediscovered that my hair likes to flip dramatically on the left side and now I am lopsided, sigh.

  5. Love this outfit! Maar vraag me af, krijg je geen koude voeten met dit weer? :p Ik durf geen open schoentjes aan nu, ook al is het met kousen (koude vos!) =)

  6. Zeker weten French Sixties! Ik begrijp wel waar ze dat schotse thema vandaan halen, maar dat komt denk ik puur door je sjaal en het feit dat je een langere rok draagt. En wat die oude mannen betreft, ja spijtig genoeg zijn er zo'n mensen en ik ben pro eigen mening enzo, maar alstublieft seg, denk eens na voor ge uw mond opentrekt! Ik ben meestal een heel lief meisje, maar zo'n mensen krijgen zeker weten 'the evil eye' van mij (remember het filmpje met dat jongetje ;) )!

  12. Ik hou van Anna Karenina en red tights! Ik vind zelfs dat de eerste foto een beetje weg heeft van Abbey Road (maar het is geen zebrapad of course). En die puberale gevalletjes: jij bent een pak slimmer en beter dan hen. They ain't got your style! ;) And they're not smart enough to get it!

  15. I didn't even think scottish?! Why are people so bizarre, and feel the need to comment on others. I think you look so retro french chic. The tstrap shoes and the perfect touch. Absolutely love the skirt and sweater together

  17. Honestly nothing says "Scottish" to me about this outfit except for maybe the plaid scarf but plaid is so ubiquitous (at least in the U.S.) that it has long ago lost that association. Hrm. Anyways love the outfit, I've been pining for red tights! I also need to see some of these movies this winter, if only for the fashions!

  22. I meant Karina. Maar het was al heel laat toen ik dat getypt had :p Het zou raar zijn moest je jezelf vergelijken met iemand die zelfmoord pleegt.

  23. ach, als ze stijlvol is zou het me niet verrassen als ze inspiratie was voor sommigen :D

  24. I love love love this outfit! But as someone who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, I have to say that I didn't think that this outfit was Scottish at all really, aside from the scarf, but not many people wear them here really. I totally got what you were going for, I guess people just see tartan and think Scotland, it's such a great place after all :)

  25. CLEARLY French sixties. It isn't even a Scottish look at all! People have no clue. You look awesome though, and the photos are so fun! I haven't even seen this film :'( waaaah xx
