Going Through the Era's Fashionable Friday: Casablanca Inspired

Details~ Lauren's jeans ruffle blouse {Macy's} - red ruffle skirt {Made by Abigail for me!} - navy cumberbund {Made by me} - Anne Klein flats {Macy's}

Well, today is Fashionable Friday, 1940s inspired, so I chose to gather up inspiration from one of the most famous movies of all time: Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.  This seemed to be pretty fitting, as this year marks the 70th anniversary of the movie's release.  Plus, my sweet family has decided that out of almost any actress I can look most like Ingrid Bergman. 

Casablanca came out in 1942, and is still widely considered one of the best movies ever made.  My outfit was inspired by the ruffle blouse, maxi skirt, and cumberbund that Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) wears when she goes to Rick's Cafe (you can see the real outfit here, here, and here).  I've always loved Ilsa's clothes, and hope to make an almost perfect replica of this outfit again one day!

Okay.  Time to go watch Casablanca!  (Is there anyone out there who hasn't seen it??)

PS  I found out some interesting information about the movie.... To prepare for her role opposite Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman watched The Maltese Falcon over and over again.

Simply adorable, Kay!!! I love your red ruffle skirt {*grin*}, ruffly blouse, shoes {*squeals with delight at how cute they are*}, well, just everything. *grin*

That is an interesting fact. You know what? I haven't seen "The Maltese Falcon" yet. Maybe I should watch it today. And I saw "Casablanca" for the first time the week I meet y'all at the SOS conference.

P.S. I can see how they think you could look most like Ingrid Bergman.

Yes. Me. I only saw segments of it in other films, or online.
But yes, the clothes are lovely. So are yours.

I LOVE Casablanca, and your outfit is lovely! It doesn't get any better than ruffles:)
Ingrid's outfits in Casablanca are beautiful - some of my very favorite movie outfits.
