My sister recently wanted to watch the 2003 version of the classic story of Peter Pan and I was honestly only into it for the fabulous Jason Isaacs but then found out that I could grab a lot of style inspiration from Wendy Darling. She basically only wears her nightgown for majority of the film in Neverland, but what she has on before departing with Peter is so desirable. I love the fact that she wears the coveted Peter Pan collar during the day as a crocheted version and with a warm cardigan. She's a very typical English school girl with pig tails and bows; she's probably wearing a skirt and long thick socks with loafers, I can't remember. You've gotta dress warm during those London winters. At night, before she escapes to Neverland, Wendy seems so dolled up just to be ready to go to bed, but after all it is the 1940s and the Darling family did have company. What really attracts me to her pajamas are how comfy they look. Her hair looks warm and brushed, like she followed that "every girl must brush her hair 100 times before bed" rule and then tied an adorable bow into her side part to keep her soft mane out of her eyes. That cardigan seems so cozy; it really makes me want to put on a slip that I use as a night gown and throw on my chunky knit and cuddle up in a chair with a good book. But what I really love about Wendy Darling's cinematic style is the innocence of it all. The bow, the white nightie, the pig tails, the pink sweater, that collar...after all, isn't that what Peter Pan is all about? The innocence of youth?
