From The Big Screen: How to Be Single

by - March 19, 2016

Hello my dears! Are you all having a wonderful weekend? If anyone is having a yummy brunch, please snap a picture and tag me on Twitter @asmallbit...I love seeing food photos!

Today, I'm starting a new series (yes, another one, I know. I'm working on organizing and keeping track of all of them!) called From the Big Screen where I style outfits based on specific movies. If you have any requests for movies, please leave it in the comments below and I'll try to feature it in the next post!

How To Be Single came out not too long ago and I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't watched it yet. I really enjoyed Rebel Wilson's acting in Pitch Perfect so I hoped this movie would bring the same kind of laughter. It's currently on my list of movies to watch (it's a long list...) but in the meantime, I'll settle for Google images of movie clips.

That being said, here are a few outfits I styled based on some of the moments in the movie as well as the movie poster. Enjoy!

How To Be Single (1)


From left to right

1. SIMPLE AND PURPLE: By pairing a sleeveless tank with a bit of a sheen and a softer suede skirt, the contrast makes this monochromatic outfit much more interesting. Pair with booties to balance out the amount of skin shown.

2. SKIN HUGGING: To emphasize the smallest part of the waist, pairing a peplum top with a fitted bodycon skirt is a perfect going-out ensemble! Don't forget the drinks and bright red heels to pack a punch.

3. PLAYFUL SUMMER: An orange romper can be intimidating to wear, since it's plain but bright. Pair with fun sunglasses to balance and chunky black heels to ground the outfit.

4. CASUAL DENIM: For a toned down look, pair a beautiful royal blue blouse with darker jeans and top it off with brown boots for added softness.



How To Be Single (2)


1. CLASSIC CHIC: This is probably the closest recreation of the movie outfit. Keeping the boxy T-shirt silhouette and paired with an A-line gingham skirt produces a classic streamlined look. To further elevate it, pair with a tote bag (cheeky graphic optional).

2. POWERHOUSE: I love how the maxi skirt and strappy heel combo can create a very powerful look, like you're ready to take on the world. It's very feminine without showing too much skin.

3. THROWBACK: My personal favorite take is this last outfit. By incorporating a similar but larger sized cross pattern in the oversized sweater and then pairing a suede skirt with thigh highs, it becomes a mod look. Very playful. Slightly innocent. Slightly risque.



How To Be Single (3)


1. UPSCALE BOLD: By eliminating any patterns in both the jacket and the top, it becomes a very sleek outfit, great for work or brunch! Switch up the heels if you want a more laid-back feel.

2. FASHION FORWARD: Personally, I think this is a great outfit for someone who is interning at a fashion or advertising company. It's bright, fun, and very wearable. The print makes it a bit less serious while the cut and design of the jacket makes it more business appropriate.

3. SPRING DATE: A flowy white dress with a refreshing yellow blazer makes it perfect for a lovely spring date. It's just dressy enough so you can get away with pretty much anything you decide to do that day (maybe not rock climbing but most else is okay!). Show your charms with quirky earrings.



How To Be Single (4)


1. HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART: To me, this is a very youthful outfit. It's sporty but the denim skirt really gives it a school girl vibe.

2. JUST GOT HERE: This is the closest interpretation of the movie look. Minimizing the skin exposure by choosing a longer pant-version of overalls can give it a relaxed feel while maintaining femininity. If the sports bra is still too much, throw on your favorite hoodie. It's slouchy, comfy, but still fashion forward.

3. LIGHT AND BUBBLY: Pairing pastel pieces with lighter washed overalls makes it great for spring or summer. This is something I'd wear to the beach or the park. Tie in the color of the sports bra with colored sneakers to make it a bit more cohesive.
