Baby Yoda Crown Royal Because 2020 Sucks Shirt

Dries van Noten’s collection in collaboration with Christian Lacroix was one of my favorites of the Baby Yoda Crown Royal Because 2020 Sucks Shirt, and this little card case reminds me of it. During quarantine, I’ve also really leaned into statement and puff sleeve blouses. Though this one may seem over-the-top for at home, I appreciate the juxtaposition of pairing something like this with jeans and bare-feet for a virtual soirée. It’s going to be a while before I venture into heels again, so these dressed up slip-ons are just what I need. Chiswell didn’t always dress this way. She grew up between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and loved to watch old movies with her grandmother. She loved how Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly, and Diana Dors dressed, particularly in their casualwear. “I didn’t have the confidence to dress that way though,” she says. “I had kind of a grungy style. I got rid of my Doc Martens when I started dressing this way, but I’ve always loved heels.” Jeans were a particular insecurity; they never fit her well in the thighs or waist. When she was in Burbank, she came across Bésame, a vintage makeup store where she bought lipstick and face powder. Then it clicked. She started collecting vintage dresses and reproductions of vintage dresses (they live in separate closets, as the vintage dresses are a bit more delicate). McNeilly started dressing in vintage clothes about six months after she did. He dresses like a greaser, in camp shirts and high-waisted pants that wouldn’t draw too much attention from dudes in Brooklyn. “I like 1958–1962 fashion the most,” he says.
