Sounds like a fun night. Great costume, I agree you could definitely wear those overalls - they are having an "in" moment. Sal on "O Brother, Where Art Thou?

WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/o-brother-where-art-thou-wiw#post-2234402 Wed, 27 Oct 2021 15:45:18 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2234402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for all the beautiful replies!   I love you guys so much!  :) @Synne  YAY!   Hat twins!   I would love to see how you style yours!   @Runcarla   A style lab would be amazing, because I have NO idea what else to do with these, LOL.   But I will definitely repeat this outfit, with pale metallic accessories.   I'm keeping my eyes open for some metallic, closed-toe t-strap shoes.   My original plan was to really dress like Tim Blake Nelson.  I even searched for a Soggy Bottom Boys beard.   But I didn't want to spend a ton of money, and after searching thrift stores for overalls, and finding the trendy-looking pair, I realized that most of the cast (who were women), were probably not going to dress authentically 1930s, but more generally country/boho/bluegrass.   The last time we did an O Brother show, in 2019, I wore a 1930s-style dress, and I was the only one.    They have a Dolly Parton-tribute show on the roster for 2022, and I already got my outfit picked out and ready to go!

Was hoping you’d get to play George Clooney or John Turturro, but no, it says here that number’s by Tim Blake Nelson. You should definitely keep the overalls. They look like a good fit.

WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/o-brother-where-art-thou-wiw#post-2234278 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 21:20:03 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2234278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Strand Theatre, in Marietta, GA, is a historic theatre, that recently turned 86, and , in the tradition of both theatre spaces, and lovely antique buildings, it’s a money sink. Several times a year (with time off during the pandemic), we do a fundraiser called “The Strand Ol’ Op’ry” to help raise funds. It’s a musical review of bluegrass and country. This show, we did the songs from the film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” I sang “In The Jailhouse Now”, and when I got the song, I knew I wanted an outfit reminiscent of the Great Depression. But I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money, especially for a volunteer gig. I used Ralph Lauren for inspiration. I thrifted a pair of Free People A-line Overalls, a vintage Tommy Hillfiger blouse, and an oversized Benetton blazer. I wore it with a hat I bought at a Rennaissance festival several years ago. I wore character shoes for the show. It was a fun and goofy outfit, for a fun and goofy show! My original plan was to list the overalls on Poshmark, but they were so much fun to wear, I’m keeping them for (fingers crossed!) future country & bluegrass gigs!
