I got this funny boiled wool sweater/jacket a few years ago, and once in a while I just really want to wear it. I remember that when I bought it, it reminded me of the Mathilde character in A Very favorite movie.
*sigh*
Sweater- Anthro '06
Dress- Anthro '08
Socks- Anthro '7
Shoes- Remix
Scarf- thrifted
I'm not sure how common it is to dress as a "character" but I do this much more than I draw inspiration from any real-life person. I presume there are lots of us that have "Snow White" days, or "Joan-from-Mad-Men" days.
I only wish I could sport a cloche as well as Audrey Tatou!
