Inspired by The Little Mermaid

I was a huge Disney Princess fan growing up and who can blame me? I was lucky enough to see some of the best Disney put out in their so-called "Disney Renaissance." Once in a while, usually on a rainy day, I'll pop my VHS (yes, VHS) of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and all the other iconic Disney movies and get my nostalgia on. Thus came the idea for an "Inspired by Disney Princess" series. Each Disney Princess has a distinct style that can easily be translated into the real, non-animated world (although I would really not recommend wearing a purple shell bra top out into public, even if you have the amazing proportions of Ariel's body). And so we start with The Little Mermaid.
Inspired by The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid will forever be defined by Ariel's magical "under-the-sea" home. You can even see the ocean inspiration in the movement of her pink dress when meeting Prince Eric for dinner. Look for romantic ruffles, loose draping, and flowy fabrics. I particularly love the wave-like bangles and the loose top in a perfect Little Mermaid color scheme. Just find a pair of fork (or a "dinglehopper" in Ariel speak) earrings to complete the look!
