Movie Inspiration: Water for Elephants

This past weekend I saw the film Water for Elephants and not only was it a great movie, I loved looking at all of the 1930's outfits that Reese Witherspoon's character wore throughout the film. I decided that I would do my take on some of the outfits shown in the movie, keeping a retro feel but adding a modern touch.


Here are three outfits inspired by the photos above, you can click on any image for more information!

This scarf is a little pricey, but it is very similar. If you're looking to spend less, I found this option on Etsy.

If you'd like to add a beret like Reese is wearing, you can click here. Otherwise, for a more modern take, a fedora might be a cute option (personally I think I prefer it without a hat).

I love the back of this dress, it definitely reminds me of the long dress Reese wore in the last photo above.
