Never Let Me Go

30 Comments Edit

As this outfit came together I was thinking of the film Never Let Me Go, or rather the film through the eyes of Kater of All This Happiness. Basically, this is my "sad clone in sweater" outfit (which will make sense if you've seen the film). There's just something about the obnoxiously oversized fit of this sweater that seemed like what you would wear when you're really feeling down; a kind of security blanket to wear out of the house (or inside the house when you're too sad to cross the threshold of your bedroom door). However, I wore this down to the beach and between the sunshine and how deserted the shore was, my mood was considerably far from sad. I'm happiest when I have the beach to myself, or some friend I have brought with me; claiming ownership of a small stretch of sand and rocks I really have no right to call my own.

    That sweater is fantastic! Also I am terribly jealous of your setting, that beach looks amazing! I love chilly days at the beach.

    I definitely feel the Never Let Me Go vibe, though it's quite a sad subject to base an outfit on! I quite like the timelessness of the wardrobe in that film though :)

    You look beautiful, I understand what you mean by temporarily claiming a space, the lovely peace of having somewhere all to yourself xo

    Absolutely perfect: delicate, melancholic, autumnal. I take note of that. It's great how you make the most of this beautiful landscapes ;)

    "Never Let Me Go" is a great film and an even better book. I love the little bobbly bits on this jumper, very cute.

    I really need to escape to the beach on a day when it will be deserted. I think your pictures inspired me to do just that for the weekend.

    That sweater is the cuttest thing ever, it seems as warm as a blanket. I love empty beaches as much I hate crowned ones.

    Holly Cow, when I saw the color combo combined with the water scenery the first thing that flickered into my mind was indeed Never Let Me Go...and lo and behold, apparently that WAS your intention. Lovely indeed.

    Gorgeous outfit! And Never Let Me Go is one of my favourite movies. I love Carey Mulligan :) Not just her acting, but also her quirky style.
