Anne of Green Gables Inspired Looks You'll Want to Buy and Wear All Summer
/The lingering winter weather may have us all in the depths of despair, but the 2018 spring trends are a gift to fans of Anne of Green Gables. With loads of florals, ruffles, and other Edwardian influenced garments, you can finally get that Prince Edward Island style you dreamed about as a kid. Here are some of my favorite finds for that Anne of Green Gables-inspired summer style.
The Perfect Straw Hat
$460 | Gigi Burris Blush Knot Boater | gigiburris.com
Yes, you can find a cheaper straw hat on Etsy, but have you ever seen a more perfect boater in your whole life? Milliner Gigi Burris has done a collection for Brother Vellies, and it has resulted in this sublime creation. With its perfect lines and pretty (millennial) pink sash, this hat will have people calling you Cordelia.
A Dress with Puffed Sleeves
$525 | Mara Hoffman Mika Dress | marahoffman.com
Puff sleeves! This dress will have Marilla rolling her eyes about how you'll have to walk through doors sideways. It can be worn with the sleeves up or off the shoulder, so you can be Anne in the streets and Ruby Gillis in the sheets.
A Blouse That Could Impress Even Mrs. Lynde
$138 | Yumi Kim Lexington Ave Top | shopbop.com
The floral print of this Yumi Kim blouse would make Anne swoon, and with a high collar and long sleeves, no one could say it's improper. Not even Rachel Lynde, and she lives for that shit.
A Fresh Take on the Old Carpet Bag
$300 | Pixie Floral Dress | anthropologie.com
This brightly hued shirtdress from Anthropologie looks like Anne's beloved carpet bag-- only in dress form. This is a summer essential for anyone looking to infuse a little Anne Shirley into their wardrobe.
A Sensible Dress
$495 | Nanushka | netaporter.com
This dress is sensible enough for a church picnic (where one might enjoy ice cream for the first time) and fashionable enough for a walk down the Avenue picking wildflowers with Gilbert. It's the perfect mix of throw-it-on-and-go-ease and Anne-Shirley-drama.
