"Penelope" on Polyvore

Continuing my obsession with the awesome new Polyvore (you can view all my fashion sets by clicking the link in the lefthand sidebar) I decided to make a "Penelope" inspired set. I watched this movie for the second time a few weeks ago and was enchanted all over again (if you have not seen it, rent it!).

The story of the film is so sweet and always challenges the way I think. Although externals are very important, we must make sure that we base our judgement of a person on the real them, who is deep inside (and often takes time to really see). Over the course of the movie, the people around her (and Penelope herself) must to learn to accept and love who she already is, not the future person that she may someday be. The romance is pure and sacrificial; not based on physical attraction, but on who Penelope really is.

Anyway, with that said, here are some pieces that reminded me of the clothing from the film, which features a lovely assortment of bold and bright shades (including gorgeous tights!), all cut in a beautifully feminine style. Enjoy! :)
