What to wear: Shopgirl

Shopgirl: The movie itself was only decent, but the outfits worn by the main character were fantastic! Claire Danes plays Mirabelle Buttersfield, a Saks employee who wears a daily uniform of vintage dresses, pumps clutches and barrettes. Let’s hear it for costume designer, Nancy Steiner!

In tribute to the great clothing in this movie, I attempted to put together a Mirabelle-approved outfit online. It was tougher than I expected:

• Dress – This dress is from Kaye Unger. The bold print and shape are pure Shopgirl even if the colors aren’t.
• Clutch – A vintage looking clutch in copper leather.
• Shoes – Mirabelle was all about the classic pumps. This pair in grey suede from Steve Madden is a little matchy, but too good to pass up.
• Hair clip – Another must-have Mirabelle accessory. This one is gold with pearls.
• Bracelet – I love this antique rose gold buckle bracelet.

Now all you need to do is find about 12 more perfect dresses and to throw out all your pants. Good luck!
