Get The Look: Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? - She & Him

(She & Him: Volume One)

This was the first She & Him song I ever heard, and ever since I first watched this video, I instantly fell in love with the cartoonish, dreamlike atmosphere created in the dark yet childlike video. Above all though, I became enamored with Zooey's whimsical costumes - from her short, cream lacey frock dress to her conservative cowgirl outfit.  The video seems like a short trip into a small child's daydreams or fantastical playground adventures. It's flirty, it's humorous, it's enchanting, and I absolutely love it.

Here are some of my suggestions for stealing Zooey's style in this video:

1. Baby doll dresses in crisp whites, warm creams, blush pinks, or other muted hues
2. Pastel colored patent leather oxfords, ballerina flats, or block-heeled mary jane heels
3. Sweet, feminine headbands featuring oversized bows or flowers and delicate lace, sequined, or beaded peter pan collars
4. Lashes layered and curled in thick black coats of mascara for a doe-eyed look and subtle, warm tones of nude and pink to add a youthful twist on the cheeks and lips
5. Mint/pastel colored shoulder bags or chic cream satchel bags fit for a girl on the go
