My favorite movie in the whole world is the Sound of Music. It is so freaking good. Also, it's got some really fabulous clothing, such as:
This dress is probably my favorite thing in the whole movie-- it's hard to convey in an image, but it moves so beautifully. And this dude's suit? Adorable!
The Baroness may be a super-biotch, but she certainly knows how to dress herself.
I've already mentioned my weakness for Lederhosen, yes? And I love a good Drindl.
Clothing made of drapes? Divine!
I always secretly wanted to be a nun. Wearing a habit would probably get itchy and hot and unbearable, but for the first 10-11 seconds it might be fun.
Oh, Captain von Trapp. He is a complete and total dish, am I right? I love those lapels.
"I'm sure you'll make a very fine nun."-- do you think Carrie Bradshaw drew some inspiration from this beautiful golden ball gown? I hope so.
I love all of the Austrian flavor going on in the movie, all of the sassy Z-snap moments ("You flatter me, sir." "Oh how clumsy of me-- I meant to accuse you!"), the Alps and Julie's voice.
i wrote a very long and thoughtful comment that included links and the damn computer just deleted the whole thing and now i'm too fired up to re-type it. but i will. sometime.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's my all-time favorite too. Christopher Plummer is an absolute dish, and I'm currently working through some of his other, more recent movies.

the baroness' "you'll make a very fine nun" dress is the best z-snap dress EVER.
ReplyDeleteoh, snap. will i ever in my life get to wear a dress w/ a ginorm bow on one shoulder in sheer chiffon?
