One of my favorite movies is Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone. What many people don't know is that it is a modern interpretation of the novel Emma by Jane Austen, which was also made into a film starring Gwyneth Paltrow (among other versions). One of the things I love about the film is the fashion, Cher wears so many crazy outfits but a lot of them can still be worn now and will look current.
I decided to do a Dress for Less based on my favorite outfit of hers, the maroon dress. It was hard to find a good shot so you'll have to settle for these bad ones. I wish I could find heels the same color as the dress, but these were the perfect shape to match hers. These never come out as good as I imagine them in my head since its always impossible to find exactly what you're looking for. Hopefully it's not too horrible.

Ooh! I like! You should do more Clueless looks...rarely do I get inspired from movies fashion-wise, but I do from this movie! And you're right: a lot of them can be updated to look quite modern and wearable.

Cher's dress looks fab in that movie, the only thing missing was the leggings. :-D I will never forget how she would say, "Oops! My bad!"
