Songspirations - Nico's "These Days"

The previous meme really inspired me to figure out outfits based on songs. It's not exactly the most original idea, but I really liked playing around with the idea.

Currently this week, aside from the 7 I listed, I've been playing Nico's cover of "These Days" as of late, from The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. The song itself can be found here...

THESE DAYS


Whenever I hear it, I think of this beautiful setting where Nico's hauntingly romantic voice drifts over an empty grassy field. It's dark, it's mellow, but it's still got this flair of a brooding damsel. Which brings me to ideas for two outfits, both relatively monotoned and a little dismal, but still very romantic with frills and lace being the main focus.



Charm bracelets, bows, flowers, lace, it all comes together into two looks of subtle excess. Hope you all are inspired!
