I don’t watch chick flicks very often, you guys. But every 2-3 years, I go through a phase where I just sit down and watch 2-3 over the course of a couple months. Like, in 2009, I watched “He’s Just Not That Into You.” I hadn’t watched a chick flick before that since…Keira Knightley’s “Pride and Prejudice” came out. I was due.
What do you guys want from me? Jeez.
Anyway, I hadn’t watched a girly movie since HJNTIY, and I had 1-2 left in my allotment, and I recently became addicted to watching Netflix movies through my brother’s Playstation 3, so I sat down and watched “Confessions of a Shopaholic” starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.
God, is Hugh Dancy adorable, you guys. But he’s with Claire Danes, who I despise, so, whatever. That costs him major Hotness points.
I watched CoaS with my little brother, who didn’t want to do his homework and we ripped on it throughout the whole movie. It’s not the greatest movie, you guys. Every five minutes, pretty much like clockwork, me and the Bro would burst into laughter and look at each other and shriek, WHO WROTE THIS CRAP?!
Well, I was shrieking. He was mostly just laughing.
It’s just a poorly done movie, really. Almost everything about it is mildly awful. I will admit that the thing that bothered me the most was their horribly misinformed portrayal of the debtor-creditor relationship. The whole time, I was screaming, CREDITORS CAN’T HARASS YOU LIKE THAT. Also, the scenes with the Shopaholics Anonymous were pretty damn ridiculous and just laughably bad. Laughably, you guys.
But Isla Fisher is sooooo cute, and she looked great throughout the whole movie. So while I was watching it, I admit it, I was mainly just keeping an eye on her clothes. Because everything else was so terrible.
Becky wears lots of bright colors in amazing fabrics, and she particularly loves pink. (Surprise, surprise, a girly-girl that’s totally into shopping and fashion, likes pink. Sadly enough, that was not the most trite thing about the movie.) To see what I mean, check out the movie poster.
And here’s what I came up with.
Poplin Pencil Skirt in Rose Quartz ………. $12.99
The Sash in Grass ………. $16
High Rib Ballet Sweater in Neon Pink ………. $9.99
Ralph Lauren Amaya Suede Pumps in Camel ………. $44.99
There we are!
I picked a pencil skirt and paired it with this bright pink ballet sweater from The Limited. I’ve gotten a bunch of sweaters from the Limited (all on sale for $10, thank you very much) and they’re very warm and very soft. Very, very soft. I just love them!
Anyway, I found a green sash at American Apparel (home of unexpected sweater puppies; their ad campaign needs to be revamped because it’s way too skeezy, a point that the LawSkoolBFF and I cannot agree on no matter how hard I try to convince him that he’s just a dumb boy). I went with these Ralph Lauren suede pumps because they’re just lovely, and there we have it: one of Becky Bloomwood’s outfits from “Confessions of a Shopaholic.”
…Don’t watch the movie, you guys.
Seriously.
It was awful.
Hi you! Confessions of a Shopoholic is another one of those movies that was hilarious when it was a book, partly because the creditors harass her by mail and must take seriously her ridiculous and crazy explanations for staving her off.
Also, I love the green sash, VERY intuitive!
