Fashion Inspiration: The Runaways

I've been in need of fashion inspiration lately, and realized that certain movies have given me inspiration before, so why not go back to them? The Runaways, with Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, is filled with awesome seventies fashion. I love pretty much everything they wear, especially everything Dakota Fanning wears.

Look at her! I love the blazer and the scarf, and in the movie she pairs this outfit with really high boots, which would not be very of-the-minute today, but I love the scarf and blazer combo, with a coordinating shirt.

Arg! A jumpsuit! It's just so cute! I feel like it's kind of what the rompers are doing now, which I think are just as cute, but they have a different feel. Jumpsuits can be kind of gross, but I really like the one she wears in the movie. It's kind of casual and seems like she just pulled it off of some guy. That's right, it's a skanky jumpsuit. 

This is fabulous. And also kind of skanky. But it is a performance costume, so that's acceptable in life. And in private. It's high quality fabric, it's daring, and it fits well, damnit.

Someone on the internet (love that place) got this shirt made because she saw one similar in tan that Dakota Fanning was wearing in The Runaways. They all had cute shirts that were simple but memorable. The subtle design with the words turning into a bridge is just one example.

This shirt, however was definitely a favorite of mine. I actually made a shirt with spray paint and stencils. My shirt is hot pink and says, "The Runaways". Because I'm a dork, and because I actually really like their music. I find it really inspiring that the girls in the movie didn't seem to have a lot of money, but they were still very stylish. It inspires me to use what's in my closet in new ways. Hopefully. 

Sorry for using "inspiration" or some variation there of. So here's a video of Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart (and the other actors who play members of The Runaways). This should make you not hate me. Probably.
