Dressing Like Elizabeth Swann and Hocus Pocus

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

At the moment I would choose this combo because it makes me feel like I’m Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean. I love the way the vest turned out so it looks like a 17th-century men’s waistcoat but over this mini dress, it transforms and has a shift and stays kind of vibe. I feel like I am ready for an adventure!

This vest was inspired by Dani’s costume from Hocus Pocus. It is made from a cotton print with a buttoned bodice and flared-out waist. The dress was made from cotton vintage deadstock fabric that I was gifted from my Grandma Schlachter’s fabric stash.

A Cozy List of Movies

What are your top ten favorite movies?

Waking Ned Devine (To Ned!)

This was filmed a few years before I visited Ireland and feels like a time capsule of memories plus it has a memorable storyline.

Twister (Dorothy flies!)

I love weather, and following the adventures of storm chasing. The 90s vibes are strong with this one, including a vintage Jeep truck.

Sweet Home Alabama (Do we know, Mo?)

Since getting married and briefly living in the South, this movie has grown fonder in my heart. My dream growing up was to move to NYC and show at Bryant Park like Melanie.

Bridget Jones Diary (Just as you are.)

I am a lot like Bridget Jones and this movie is just so heartwarming.

Pride & Prejudice (What excellent boiled potatoes.)

I love you, most ardently from your aesthetics to your soundtrack. The filming is a pure delight.

Madagascar 2 (the whole series, honestly. Basset Hound!)

Clever, witty, and not just a kid’s movie.

Runaway Bride (Wake up with Flem!)

Her name is Maggie! And I love the autumnal world of this 90s movie. Kyle and I also visited the real town on a vacation.

Pirates of the Caribbean (Savvy?)

I enjoy pirate things – the aesthetic and history. Great scenery and fun storytelling.

The Family Stone (more than a Christmas movie)

This movie is so dang relatable. I’d love to live in their house.

Hocus Pocus (Thackery Binx, thou mangy feline!)

Iconic, full of camp, but loveable nonetheless.
