Screen Style

The Sound of Music is an incredible movie, a film that always uplifts and inspires. Julie Andrews is wonderful in it, and Christopher Plummer is so dashing. But until recently I never gave much thought to the fashion -- but it's pretty great too! Here are a few of my favorite things:

Green and white prints feel so fresh for running around this summer -- singing on a mountainside, climbing trees and falling into lakes are optional.

I'm crazy about the full skirts and nipped waists that the girls wear in the movie. And who doesn't love a cute sun hat?

And I want a soft, fluttery-sleeve dress perfect for falling in love and kissing in a gazebo!

  12. The last time I was watching that movie I had the same idea...

    perhaps one day I will let the world know
