This week’s style icon for Drooling Isn’t Pretty is Lillian Gish, the beautiful and talented silent film actress. Her look is soft, girly and modest, as she often played the innocent damsel in a Victorian era lifestyle. Her style inspires flowing lace, silk and elegant details, such as intricate beading and draping, floral patterns, and interesting sleeve shapes. To find Lillian-esque pieces, look for a feminine, vintage feel. An idea is to find vintage nightgowns or slip dresses at thrift stores and wear them with layers and beaded or silky flats.
