Film Style Inspiration- Enid Coleslaw (Ghost World)

I almost thought I wouldn't get to do a Film Style Inspiration post this month, but luckily we went out and took these photos today just as June comes to a close.

This is another case of me taking very loose inspiration from a film character's style, yet again I want to explain that these posts are not intended as me dressing up in a costume of the person, but more taking elements of that characters style and incorporating it into my own personal style while remaining true to my style. However it is fun to play around with it and try things I haven't before.

This time it was Enid Coleslaw from Ghost World. I first saw Ghost World and read the graphic novel at a time in my life where for better or worse I could relate to Enid's world view. I still can, however now I see her flaws more than anything else and I think how annoying she would be if she were a real person and a friend at that. Despite all this I still think she is a great character and the fact that she was written by a man makes her even better. I am also a fan of Thora Birch ( ever since I saw her in All I Want For Christmas when she was about five!) and I think she played really embodied the character and made her her own compared to the graphic novel. Also, for those of you who have seen it how great is Steve Buscemi? and how awkward are some of his scenes?

Enid's style is probably the most eclectic of the characters I have posted about so far. Her style seems to be based around that of certain girls at a certain time in their life. She wears a mixture of vintage t-shirts, blouses and dresses, bold prints, military boots, leather jackets, various hair colours, and kooky headgear like a fluffy hair band and even a leather mask she bought in an adult store. My outfit is a tame version of some of these things (I decided against the leather mask). I went for some different lipstick too because Enid wears some interesting make up colours throughout the film.

We took the photos in a graffiti covered lane behind Whelans because I wanted a more Urban feel to the shoot. It's definitely a different set of photos than you would normally see here, but I really like them and I hope you do too!
