Folksy Friday - Teen Movie

1. Pretty in Pink - Stripe Panelled Dress by Suzanne Porter Boutique 2. The Breakfast Club - Boxed Sushi Set by Treaclezoo 3. Weird Science - Geek Greetings Card by Simple Kid Industries 4. Sixteen Candles - Muffin Candles by Lady Pirates 5. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Life Moves Pretty Fast Original Framed Artwork by Wall Envy Art 6. Uncle Buck - Mini Stag Silhouette Pin by Lost At Sea

Theme inspired by John Hughes 80's teen movies. I regularly listen to BBC Radio 6 and today on Lauren Lavernes show, she played "Danke Schoen" by Wayne Newton, from the iconic parade scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I don't think I'd ever heard the song except in the film, and FBDO is one of my favourites so it was a treat to hear it!

So that sparked off todays theme. I chose six Hughes movies and tried to find Folksy items to link to them. For some of the items the link may be a bit tenuous!

The Green Green Grass

I found this dress in a charity shop and snapped it up. When I got home I changed the existing buttons to some lovely green ones from my secret button stash (it's not really secret, it just sounds good), and added some purple ones around the neckline for good measure. I may remove them though, we'll see.

Anyway, I just loved the colour. I seem to have a penchant for odd shades of green, always have. On one particular summer holiday I played hell for a spotty green and white bathing suit. Pink was apparently not for me, although my bedroom at the time was a lovely shade of cotton candy ;]
