Marilyn Monroe Inspired Look

Like every fashionista out there I look to Marilyn. I look to her mostly because I love old movies and she was definitely a staple. She was and still is a house hold name. I wanted to do this look because sex is usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Marilyn. BUT! If you look at her at home it seems she was most in a short sleeve turtle neck.

She was her everyday look was so simple! I mean really simple. The main look that I created can be found anywhere inexpensively. Short sleeved turtlenecks and capri pants! I included a red version of the iconic white dress she wore over the vent. I like to remember her humanity. She was thrust into the spotlight as a sex symbol but what about the soul underneath the smile? This picture shows her in her element. She's known for her song "Diamonds are a a girl's best friend." In the end, diamonds couldn't help this torture soul. I venture to say that peace is a girl's best friend.

I look up, He looks down!
