I first saw Ghost World when I was about thirteen years old and I hated it. I think I just didn't get it and I thought it had the worst ending. I think I rewatched it the following year, then I related to it more and it made more sense to me. I really fell in love with Enid's style and wardrobe - the costuming in the film (by Mary Zophres, who also did the costumes for The Big Lebowski) makes Enid's clothes look like a wonderful eclectic thrifted mix, but she doesn't come across as pretentious. I wouldn't be able to recall how many times I've seen this movie. It really cemented my love for Steve Buscemi and I still have a pretty big Thora Birch crush. I also have the Ghost World comic (which the film was based on) which is full of even more angst. Watching this movie didn't change my life, but it did change the way I dressed and I still wish I could raid Enid's closet, don't you? Prepare to be bombarded with low-fi print screens!
In Enid's wardrobe;

+ alice headbands

+ black jeans

What movie character's style do you covet?
