The June Carter collection, now at K-Mart
I went to see Walk the Line last night. (My theory that I--other than my friend Terri, who went to see it with me--was the last person in America to see this movie was quickly disproved by the overcrowded theater.) The film was mesmerizing for several reasons, but the main source of fascination for me was June Carter/Reese Witherspoon's impeccable wardrobe. There wasn't a single ensemble she wore in the film that I didn't immediately want to possess. (Actually, there was one. I remember it because, just as I was thinking to myself, "I want every single outfit she wears in this movie," she appeared onstage in some hideous long-sleeved dress with an orange and blue pattern reminiscent of a circa-1970 sofa, and I then thought to myself, "Except for that one.") Seriously. How great would it be if some discount chain (I said K-Mart, but it would more likely be Target...or H&M) would knock off her deliciously retro wardrobe and sell it all at super-reasonable prices? So great, I think.
Of course, Katherine Heigl and her ilk would probably just take the pretty skirts and dresses and bastardize them for red-carpet events, so maybe it's best if this idea remains a fantasy.
