Has anyone seen True Grit yet? I've been dying to go ever since watching the trailer a few weeks ago. My dad's partly to blame for my interest in Westerns. . . I don't think I ever really tried to like them, he just always had them playing on Sunday afternoons, and it was inevitable that I'd get sucked in. The story lines were sometimes silly, but the characters were charming and the costumes were interesting. As excited as I am about True Grit being another Coen brothers film (that's set in Arkansas!), I think I'm most excited to see the young female character, Mattie Ross.

Based on of the previews alone, I already know that Mattie's style epitomizes everything that I want mine to be right now. Black dresses, peter pan collars, braids, gaucho hats, and an olive green wool coats! I'm was so enthralled with her look that I had to do a little research on the costume designer. How did Mary Zophres manage to work in so many great trends when the costumes were probably arranged two years ago? I'm so glad she took Mattie's style a different direction than Dorothy Jeakins did in the 1969 version. It totally makes it for me.
All that said, my outfit was inspired by Mattie's look. I found this dress on the ASOS website, and fell in love with it, mostly because it's knit and reminds me of Orla Kiely's version of the season's staple dress. The inspiration behind my look is actually 95% Mattie, 5% Wednesday Addams. The Wednesday part has more to do with the setting. How goth of me to shoot this outfit in the cemetery!
