Wild Fl✿wers: At the Movies

'At the Movies' is a new feature to wildflowers where we showcase some of our favourite fashion moments from (you guessed it) the movies! This week its all about the most sartorially gifted, always cool, older sisters! They may not always be the stars of the show but they certainly know how to steal it, thriving on activities such as listening to way-too-cool-for-you bands, experimenting with veganism, sneaking out to get their belly buttons pierced and looking generally bomb-af in everything they wear.

1. Jeannie Bueller - 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

If I ever get this good at layering I will consider my life a success. I mean, pink cardigan on top of people-print shirt on top of stripey t-shirt all tucked into black high-waisted trousers with braces - it's pretty much 80s perfection. The ever disgruntled Jeannie (played by 'Baby' herself, Jennifer Grey) sasses her way through this classic comedy looking cute as hell while kicking some serious ass in her quest to thwart younger brother Ferris - one killer outfit is all she needs to make it onto this list! Also, check out the baby-faced, pre-winning Charlie Sheen in the classic 'Ferris' clip - *swoon*.

2. Debbie Thornberry - 'The Wild Thornberrys'

Suuuure, 'The Wild Thornberrys' started as a TV show but they did appear in several movies, and Debbie was just too cool to keep off the list! A grunge queen and fluent in sarcasm, Debbie can usually be found rocking a classic combo of a flannel shirt, crop top and baggy jeans - a quintessential grungey outfit complete with razor sharp cat-eye liner and a serious mane of blonde hair. Unfortunately the hair-over-one-eye look never quite looks this cute in real life (I think 2005-2009 serve as a hideous testament to this *emo flashbacks*) but Debbie works it. This combined with her gives-no-shits attitude makes her one fabulously angst-y big sister.

3. Kat Stratford - '10 Things I Hate About You'

The 'Shrew' herself from this classic 90s update of Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew', Kat definitely fits the permanently anguished older sister stereotype and is the polar opposite of sugary sweet and super popular sister Bianca. I mean really, she's not a heinous bitch, she's just surrounded by morons! Kat spends the movie dishing out feminist zingers while looking tough and very cool in combat boots, hoop earrings and a veritable plethora of t-shirts. It isn't flashy but Kat is a girl all about dressing for herself and no one else - she ain't out to please no man and that's exactly what makes her such a compelling romantic lead and kick ass big sister. Hey, if Heath Ledger's Patrick Verona digs it, it cant be bad! * brb, crying over Heath :'( *
