Day ( 191 )
These are the clothes she wears in the museum scene. It is a lacy blouse with ruffles. The pants are skinny jeans, high waist. She also uses a basket straw bag.
I like the way Summer uses some accessories to improve her looks!
The blouse was a lot of work to find ... fortunately, during last summer, lacy blouses became fashionable! I found a similar, quite romantic. It is a bit transparent, but it can be used with a beige bra underneath.
The pants I found at Hering. I found a very similar one.
The butterfly clip I bought from one of these accessories shops.
The straw bag I bought at a thrift store.
And this is the complete look! Now let's go to the museum? And who knows, maybe go watch a movie later! ;-)

Ceramic pots
In the movie, there are two chinese pots on the sideboard. There's a big one near the little tree, and a smaller one with flowers. While discrete, they are essential to complement all the visuals.
I went to some florists looking for something with the same color and shape, but as usual I couldn't find anything. Eventually I bought ceramic vases and painted them by myself.
The challenge was to get a similar color. Because of the movie lighting, the colors of the pots varied between a beige, a dark green and a greyish blue.
I opted for the color that appears in the last scene, where it's at its brightest. It is a light blue, halfway between turquoise.
After painting, I drew some swallows on the side, and applied some varnish. The flowers I bought at a local market. I liked the result! I had already created a vase in art classes, but I had never painted one!
