Dashingly Dark

I every so often drift onto the teen vogue website and rifle throught their photos for clothing or writing inspiration, and this budding month is no exception. But now they're featuring one of my favorite people!! Emma Watson, the star in Harry Potter, Ballet Shoes, and the Tale of Desperaux. I don't think she's an amazing actress, but i love to see her on the screen.. and now on the pages of a magazine! Because the July issue hasn't been released yet, I can't read the article (boo) but I can look at the pictures- and they didn't let me down. I love how Emma Watson can pull of any style effortlessly, and this month, she seemed to be channeling her inner "I can wear dark satins and silks... just watch me" vibe. And it completely took my eye. It was strange though- they had her in the same colors each set, except for one when she wore a red velvet jacket and a white dress. In every photo from this shoot, she was in a dark orchid and an aged looking royal blue ensemble- whether it was a hair piece and dress (above) or a skirt and belt. Anyway, sorry to go off track. Back to dark clothing- I find it very romantic to wear these colors in fall- it's one of my favorite seasons, and you can pull off darker "winter" hues, but still completely get away with wearing short skirts or tank tops. And to wear what Emma was wearing in her shoot would be even better- but i highly doubt that i can pull off the skirts she wore in this shoot at high school.
