RIP John Hughes


So sad to hear about the death of John Hughes, director of so many 80's movies that I loved. His movies had so many fashion moments that were imprinted on me, but none more than the pink prom dress Andie crafts from a secondhand dress her dad gives her in Pretty In Pink. Not only did the girl have to go to prom alone, she had to sew her own prom dress! But she did it with style. May have to watch it this weekend--the only danger is that every time I watch it, it makes me want to pull out my sewing machine and start ripping apart old clothes that I know I will somehow sew together into a fashionable new piece. Which if you sat by me in Home Ec., you know is extremely unlikely.
