{Past to Present} The Lady Eve

"You don't know very much about girls. The best ones aren't as good as you probably think they are and the bad ones aren't as bad. Not nearly as bad."

  I'm always looking to the past for inspiration, I don't know why I just do. So when I recently watched The Lady Eve I couldn't help but get inspired by Stanwyck's outfit. Not just any outfit, the outfit she wore while she slowly seduced Fonda.  Her evening look consisted of a  beaded crop top paired with a skirt with a side slit that looked sexy yet modest, and just a little bit cunning considering the fact that she is a con artist and Fonda is currently her target. Back then this look was daring and admired, yet rarely copied by the public. But, now fast forward to the recent 2012 Spring/Summer runways and  you'll see that this look is still sexy, way more more acceptable and well wearable.
