Okay, I saw the movie over the weekend. I know many of you went these weekend too because it was the #1 movie of the weekend pulling in over $55K! So what did you think about the movie?
The pictured shown is the outfit I finally decided to wear to the Friday evening movie. I lot of people went for a more club look. But I wanted to be sexy/chic. With more emphasis on the chic. I like to think of it as an ode to the most fashionable ladies in the city.
I love, love, love this movie!!! What did I love about it? The pretzel twisted plot. Jennifer Hudson's always helpful, wise beyond her years character. Kristen Davis' performance as Charlotte. The superb one-liners. And of course the fashion.
My fashion picks were:
- the white vest/pant combo that Carrie wore in a quick clip of the ladies walking down the street
- the vera wang wedding dress from the Vogue spread
- All of the prints worn by Miranda
What did you wear? Did you enjoy the movie? Give us your Sex and the City analysis!
I loved Miranda's very versatile assymetrical bob.
I loved Samantha's very tasteful bikini for a 50 year old lady.Age appropriate sexy.
I like Carrie's look only sometimes( too too thift store sometimes) and was loving her shoes throughout.
I did not like the ending--nothing romantic about Big's childish behavior. If he did not like the way things were going--he should have told her firmly before not showing up at the alter he is too old for that. I know she may spank me,but Big and Carrie are similar to August Deed two and her fiancee'--even though he is real sweet to my sister--he is that immature in his decisions at times too.

P.S. Yves Saint Laurent died yesterday.

Thanks for your feedback August Deed One! Miranda's hair was super cute. And Carrie's shoes should win an award! As for the ending, while Big's action may be immature, I think they're quite common for most people. It's hard for people to be honesty and say how they really feel, especially when that honesty hurts someone they deeply care about. I thought it was a great way to show the wonderful complexity of these characters and their relationships- just like real life.
And thanks for the info on Yves Saint Laurent. I heard about his death this morning. A legend passes on.....

Ok so, we all got jazzed up an decended upon the theatre...it was the best dressed movie I've ever been too...dare I say better than your ATL version of a Lion King?;-) I was loving all the shoes!!! Carrie also had this LV clutch that looked distressed and was hot! I was loving Charlotte's classic styles (oh I was ready for a fight in the mermaid dres) I can't totally get behind Carrie's style, but I loved her accesories. And was it me or was the pink pumps that the guy was wearing on his interview hot or what!? I'm just saying I need my hubby to see this so he can build me that CLOSET!

LOL You make a great point Mo. The SATC audience definitely outdressed The Lion King crowd. A lot of people are saying that they don't particularly care for Carrie's style but of course I love it! I think that her job, like many of us, is to push the edge on what's fashionable, innovative, and stylish. And Patricia Field (the designer/stylist) for SATC, delivers that goal with perfection.
As for pink shoes guy, they were pretty sweet. I especially like the fact that he wore them with a gray suit. :) Oh, and if you get your husband to build that closet, you can't ask for anything else! lol

Hmmmm...I guess being fair that is true...but I'm sure I'd find something else for him to build me:-)

Agreed, Mo! lol

Ok, so I realize I am going to be in the serious minority for writing this, especially on a fashion blog, but don't you think they MAYBE took the fashion thing a little far? I am all about really nice, lovely, fashionable things, but the things I buy are sort of the things I use to live rather than the focus of my life. I guess I think of it like Europeans. Fashion should be ever-present, but shouldn't be the main event and shouldn't be so fussy or over the top that it doesn't integrate into your life easily. I know that sounds real soccer mom, but it's anything but. It's more fashion as a lifestyle rather than the main event. And yes, it's just me being rebellious again. :)

Oh Jess, my friend, always challenging the establishment. I love that about you! Actually I did consider the question you pose when I initially saw the commercials and the trailer. But when I saw the movie, the fashion didn't disrupt the scenes- it was present but not overbearing. As far as fashion not being fussy, I think it depends on your personality. Your style is fashionable and always present but it's almost like an afterthought. As if you can throw on a wrinkled shirt and faded jeans and look phenomenal. Your style is effortless. Then there's people like me who look at fashion or the aesthetics as a way of living. Not in a pretentious way. It's really more organic, like the importance of beautiful things is ingrained in your DNA. What a great topic! I'd love to hear more opinions on it.

Gratzi on the compliment, and also for appreciating my rebellion. lol.
I think that how fashion works in your life is largely a function of personality. Remember my belly shirt, flip flip and sparkle phase? On second thought, let's not. :) But that's who I was then and that's how "fashion" worked for me. Now that I am an old MeeMaw, things have gotten more toned down and classic. Not a sparkle in sight!
So to each her own. I guess each of us just needs to find what works for her now and go with it.
