I just finished watching Fried Green Tomatoes for the umpteenth time (I think I have a weak spot for stories set in Alabama). For some reason I can’t find any decent still shots from the movie online which is a shame because it showcases just the kind of simple cotton frocks I’m so in love with right now. Am I missing the secret Fried Green Tomatoes website or something?
I wish more of those pretty dresses had managed to weather the years but it seems that most of them have just disintegrated. And when I do find one, it tends to be well above my budget. Such is the case for Dorothea's Closet. It's packed full of just the type of dresses I wish were packing my closet. Unfortunately they're well out of my budget, but it doesn't hurt to look, right?
she does have an amazing collection i've perused a few times. so much lovely eye candy. but her prices are totally insane. $90 for a 60s polyester hawaiian shift w no label is just ridiculous.
ReplyDelete.. but it is really cute...
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WAS A WONDERFUL MOVIE
ReplyDeleteAND THE FROCKS WERE SIMPLY FANTASTIC. WOULDN'T MIND WEARING THEM ON A HOT DAY OF SUMMER.

ReplyDeleteI watched that movie so many times when I was little...How cute it is!! And I am a victim of the southern charm, too. Dresses and frocks included.
ReplyDeleteI have to watch this again! I've only seen it once! :o)

ReplyDeletewow, what a gorgeous collection! so far out of my price range that it's a bit depressing, but still gorgeous!
