I don't even remember actually ever sitting down and watching half the random episodes and parts of various 90's shows I remember growing up. But then when they show reruns I'm all, "Oh, I watched this one before." When?!
Anyhow, here are a few staples from Fran Fine's closet :)
A-line Skirt/Shorts
Preferably short and fitted. Fran usually wore skirts/shorts that hit mid-thigh but closer to upper mid-thigh (the upper middle-class of skirts? haha).
This a perfect example of the shape of most of Fran's skirts and even her shorts to a certain degree. They tend to be worn at waist and end as soon as it's safe (haha).
I'm not a huge fan of this one but I think Fran did wear either a dress or a skirt in this print on the show.
I posted about these in a recent post and I believe Fran wore something like these on an episode too though probably with a higher waist.
This is more pencil than A-line but the print and the fit are still very Fran Fine. The zigzag pattern and the contrast of black and white are definitely a plus.
While I don't think America's Favorite Nanny would drop 300 on a skirt (I would! Not... until I start making the $$$ ;P) she likes her prints so this mini works. I saw the dress version in action and it looked awesome. My friend and I were trying to figure out if the girl got a discount cause she worked there or not.
I like stuff that looks artsy. Though now I'm thinking about a those orange sherbet ice creams my mom used to eat...
Hm... it doesn't look that much like a paperbag... maybe a little. I think it's a cute paperbag with a nice wide waistband and pleats on the side. It's a bubble shaped paperbag, very endearing.
This one has the token A-line shape with military buttons and cute slit pockets and thin stripes. You get the picture...
I sort of get why she stuck by this shape of skirt. I don't really like the print yet the skirt is cute. It's the shape, it makes any print wearable. Well, not any...
High Heels
I don't pay too much attention to her heels because they don't do too many close-ups on them but she's rarely without them. Though since I don't pay that many attention to her heels... just the one :)
Classic, I LOVE IT! And of course I'd have no problem justifying this purchase. "It's half off and it's a classic pump. It's an investment, it'll pay for itself. It's hot, just buy it, etc..." But yes, I should pay more attention to her shoes. I think in the 90's there was less pointy toe but I'm not sure.
Wait, wait... This is probably more appropriate.
Oh, these are perfect and they come in a lot of different colors and prints. I think the area allotted for shoes in my closet is going to be renamed the Official Clubhouse of the Pump Collection.
Fitted Dress
I think the difference between this and the skirt/shorts ensemble is that the top and bottom are connected, lol.
Again, she wore something like this, I believe, in red with similar lace detailing. But the fit is typical Fran in long-sleeves.
This would be more of a going out dress though sometimes she wears stuff like this at home which is a little puzzling. But I guess you can play it up and dress it down, it is after all a cotton dress and very cute too. It'd look nice under a blazer.
Another Fran favorite. Well a combination anyway. Animal print + bodycon. I mentioned "Bom fit" dresses in I think my last post... or the post before that? This is a "Bom fit" dress.
I love sheer sleeves. They make your arms look good and give a dressy feel to a simple dress.
Maggie
Maggie wears a lot of A-line dresses as well though hers tend to have a more relaxed fit and a wider, sometimes swingy skirt. Though this was supposed to be a more Fran post, I found a lot more of Maggie. Oh wells.
This is a very Maggie fit. She tends to wear a shirt under a jumper style dress but once in a while something like this will pop up. A simple scoop-neck and somewhat pleated skirt, very cute-little-girlish. Somewhat like Quinn from Glee but a lot nicer.
We're focusing more on cuts here so this dress is perfect. In terms of material and color, Maggie goes for a lot of blues and pastels and cottony materials. This dress is very cutesy without being nauseating so it's perfect for me too, haha.
Yes, I can picture her wearing this with a long-sleeved white basic under it. I keep meaning to buy basic long-sleeve shirts and it just doesn't happen. It's on my shopping list for real this time.
I'm assuming we get the picture. And I didn't make that name up, it's actually called that.
I believe Maggie wore something very similar to this in powder blue. I think one of my friends would like Maggie's dress style...
It's a playsuit but it's basically a dress with convenience. I thought the button detailing on the top was very Maggie-esque.
Somehow I can't find any of these in Maggie's favorite colors, blue and... pink :)
Ok, hope you enjoyed that :) Night.
