Vintage Character: Andie Walsh

I have to confess that my favorite movie of all time is probably Pretty In Pink. Being a redhead myself, I felt an immediate kinship with Molly Ringwald - the ginger of the generation! In the 80's, she made being a redhead bearable. Her funky, vintage and homemade look was awesome (except for the dress - that pink monstrosity was the worst thing in the whole film!)

Andie Walsh has this sort of granny chic look going on with lotsa mixing and matching florals, vests, and pastels. Especially pink (go figure)!

Two for the price of one - leggings AND a mini skirt! Both would be at home in Andie's closet.
