Friends, when I was growing up, I was lucky enough to have a movie that coincided with my time of adolescence. That movie was Now and Then:

Whoever thought to cast Devon Sawa in that film was a GENIUS. I never bought so many Tiger Beats as when he was all over the cover.

Since this movie has always stayed with me as one of the highlights of my pre-teen years, I knew I had to honor it with an outfit for That's Sew Cinematic. I got the chance to revisit my tomboy years as well as make some staple pieces for my closet - it's a win/win.
I started with the idea of stripes and jean shorts and just ran with it...

and by "ran" I mean "I jumped around with it"
Shirt: Sew U: Home Stretch t-shirt pattern
Shorts: refashioned jeans from HIGH SCHOOL (!!!)
I really loved taking these photos with my neighbors staring at me.
I love this outfit. It's 100% casual, and definitely reflective of the movie - I can run, play baseball, and kiss cute boys while drinking Coke out of a glass bottle.
The shirt is insanely comfortable. I bought this jersey during the great NYC meet-up but had not gotten the chance to use it until now.
There were ducks in the pond. The male Mallard duck was all like, "Hey." And the girl Mallard duck was all like, "Hey yourself." It was too adorable for words.
Close up of the fabric - I bought it because I loved the varying shades of yellow, and I love the way it looks as a t-shirt!
OK friends, tell me: What was the defining movie of your adolescence? I'd love to know!
