I've been wanting to try out a couple of wool knee length skirts that I found at a vintage store a while back. Since they aren't a style I normally wear I was having a hard time figuring out what to pair them with. My vintage brown knee boots were a given since they're all I've been wearing lately anyway. But what to wear on top? At first I reached for a frilly white blouse but quickly realized the weather was ruling that option out so I grabbed a grey cashmere turtle neck I just picked up at the thrift store instead. I looked in the mirror and was happy with the combination but for some reason it looked very familiar. Suddenly it struck me... Wendy Torrance! Not that that's a bad thing. As long as I don't run into any ax-wielding maniacs.
* I realize that the image on the left is not from the movie but I just love that photo of Shelley Duvall. The only images I could find from the movie were blurry screen captures. Ick. If you haven't seen the movie - do it!

Turtlenecks are definitely a great choice...and a salvation for my throat in winter!
Yes, she has a really special look! One outfit i particularly remember, was a beige, cord-dress with straps over the shoulders, worn over a plaid, green shirt... Indeed interesting!

I love her clothes at this movie...
actually, the whole movie is beautiful (esthetically), the wall papers...
Great photos and it made me think of that shining family movie spoof from you that always makes me laugh.
I won't post a link, since that might seem spammy, but if you search on "The Shining spoof" it's worthy.
Keep up the great work on your blog, I peek over from time to time to see what you have posted.
