When I saw Julie Delpy's very cool movie
2 Days in Paris last
year, there were certain items her character wore that I promised
myself I would hunt down and find, no matter what. I had big plans: I
was going to commandeer the actress's style completely, and it was all
going to begin with one very awesome
messenger bag. It's now 8 or 10 or
13 months later, and while I still want everything from the
2 Days in Paris
wardrobe, I no longer remember specifics. Was the bag canvas or
leather?
Army green or broken-in brown? See, that's the amazing thing
about
fashion inspiration—even though I don't remember the exact
details, the sense of things (or the "vibe," as we like to say in
magazines) has stayed with me. I could go back and watch the movie
again, but the truth is, if I go out and buy
this or
this or
this, I'm no longer
copying a look so much as letting one sit with me until I
make it my own.
