Taking a break from spooky style to talk about this vintage inspired look from Chicwish!
Over the past few months I’ve been loving separates more than ever and I definitely have Marilyn Monroe to thank for it! When researching Marilyn’s style, her love for relaxed separates (and understated accessories) is frequently mentioned. I’ve taken countless makeup and on screen style tips from Marilyn but I’ve really only dabbled with the casual chic attire she seemed to prefer off screen. While shopping Chicwish’s new fall collection, the pieces featured in this post spoke to me and of course reminded me of Marilyn! Not only was she a fan of separates, she was also a fan of neutrals. All things I’m trying to incorporate more of in to my wardrobe. Marilyn was a woman ahead of her time in many ways and fashion was no exception. If you look at her everyday style and her essentials, it resembles a modern day capsule wardrobe! I thought this ruched long sleeve top, in cream, and caramel faux leather pencil skirt would be perfect additions to my Marilyn capsule wardrobe.
Although Marilyn usually opted for a head scarf while out and about, I thought this (true vintage) faux leopard pill box hat would compliment my neural color palette while adding some 1950s flair!
Thank you to Chicwish for sponsoring this post!
