Fall fashion starts now! At least for me it does. I usually don’t break out my fall wardrobe pieces until after spooky season. Now that spooky season has sadly come to an end it’s time for me to get a little bit cozier.
I’ve been wanting to shoot this Marilyn Monroe inspired casual look for a while now and it’s the perfect outfit for a crisp fall day! If you know your Marilyn, then you’ll know this outfit was inspired by photos taken of her in Canada while filming River of No Return. I love every version of Marilyn, but I think I love the casual carefree version of her most.
You only need two pieces to recreate this look, a chunky sweater ( I found mine at H&M and a pair of high waisted jeans! The jeans I’m wearing in this post are 1950s western inspired from Vivien of Holloway and super similar to the ones Marilyn wore in photos. A Marilyn inspired hairstyle and a classic red lip is optional but it does complete the look! These jeans, neutrals and understated accessories have definitely become staples in what I like to call, my “Marilyn capsule wardrobe”.
Special thanks to my Mom for taking these photos.
