Channeling my Inner ‘Langley Fox Hemingway’

Recently I discovered some of the closet tours, and interviews with some of the worlds next “It Girls,” and ever since I’ve been hooked.  All the pictures are very vibrant, lovely, and quite inspiring.  Since I had read about Langley Fox Hemingway in one magazine or another a little while ago, and really loved her simplistic style, I decided to delve further into the world of a certain someone.  This led me to a new style of posting, one where I embodied the spirit of a new inspiration for one outfit or two.  All “fashionspiration” images via The Coveteur.

This might just be me, but all these pictures remind me of a bohemian, indie summer movie, complete with dreamy filming, and a fairy-like actress.  Everything is beaches, and flowers, and fields full of dandelions and daisies.  There be even be some of  retro, tacky Californian vibes hidden in the mix.  I really want to do a sort of bright, flowing, yet simplistic outfit, which I think really comes through in these pictures.  There’s also that Tumblr vibe, where everything comes off as effortlessly cool, even if it’s nothing but a pair of shoes and some flowers.  That’s also something I want to encompass in my outfit.  I’ve also found that everything is really laid back, there’s just simple, timeless pieces without any big statements, which stands out in it’s on way.  I’m not so sure how that’ll work out considering I find outfits like this pretty, yet boring, but we shall see.

What I Wore:  Navy Blue Pleated Pinafore (J. Crew)//Grey “Geek Shirt” (J. Crew)//Pink and Purple “XOXO” Necklace (ghdsj)//Gold Quote Necklace ()//Gold “Hello” Cuff (Forever 21)//Gold Charm Bracelets (Alex and Ani)//Cat Ear Flower Crown (Forever 21)


I think I have succeeded in channeling my inner Langley Fox Hemingway, at least in this outfit.  Let’s work our way from the top down.  This headband reminds me of festivals, Coachella, and the like, so it is perfect for indie, bohemian vibes.  The flowers encompass my field of daisies, and effortless summers.  I can imagine Langley Fox as the willowy, free-spirited older sister with lots of wisdom that disappears one summer, and for some reason, a necklace with this cliche quote just seems to fit that.  The “XOXO” necklace really has nothing to do with Langley Fox, it’s a personal choice, as are the gold charm bracelets.  I did not pick this “Hello” cuff because I like people, and socializing is fun (never), but because it’s very Tumblr-esque, and that is important in this sort of OOTD.  The pinafore.  I think that sort of thing is just so easy to throw on, yet because it is a dress type of piece, it instantly looks more glamorous than it actually is, which is perfect for a Langley Fox Hemingway inspired outfit.  And the shoes, partly personal preference, and partly because they just seem to add to the overall flow and vibes of this here outfit.

Well, that’s that!  I really enjoyed writing this post, especially finding the “Fashionspiration,” and writing about how I wanted to encompass all the different elements in my outfit.  Hopefully you’ve found a new inspiration, because I’m certain that I have.   I’ll probably be trying some other “fashionspirations,” and icons because I really liked the style of this post.
