Oh, the things I would steal from her fictional closet.

11 Movies With Killer Female Fashion

If you're like me, you're that one in your friend group who can't get through an older movie without commenting on at least 37 of the main characters' clothing items or accessories that you wish you had in your own wardrobe. Quite honestly, I know that many other women feel my pain when I whine incessantly about my dream to deck out my closet with an array of outfits from different eras. So, to all those who love our mothers', grandmothers', and great-grandmothers' trends a bit more than our current options, here's a list of movies in which we all longed for the leading lady's wardrobe.

1. Titanic (1997)

How was it that Rose could even look flawless as she contemplated throwing herself off a ship? Oh, that's right--I suppose anyone could look gorgeous in the intricately beaded maroon cocktail gown paired with those dainty white gloves.

2. Heathers (1988)

Only Veronica Sawyer could pull off that late-80's, off-the-shoulder sweater and jumper combo while systematically murdering her jerk classmates. Oh, and if her fashion weren't enough to envy, her sexy, sociopath boyfriend will probably do it for you.

3. Water For Elephants (2011)

I still don't know how Marlena's hair stayed in perfect finger-waves as she and Jacob jumped off a moving train, but either way, she rocks those early 30's locks. And dear Lord, do I wish I had someone with August's sort of money to buy me outfits HALF as adorable as hers.

4. Across the Universe (2007)

Everything about this movie is just perfect, but the fashion was even better. Why can't I dance around in flow-y skirts and bell-bottoms without the strange looks that might follow? Maybe if I drank the punch, I... you know what, nevermind. A paisley button down would look just fine.

5. Grease (1978)

While I'll always appreciate a good poodle skirt, the one I'm really envying here is Betty Rizzo. That plunging v-neck blouse and high waisted skirt paired with some killer heels could strike any man speechless with one look.

6. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

Marilyn=perfect. Need I say more?

Nope? Good.

7. Gone With the Wind (1939)

While I don't think I'd love to wear hoop skirts every day of my life, I'd love to have worn one to a ball in my mansion, had I lived in the 1860s on a plantation. But you know... it's 2016, sadly.

8. The Great Gatsby (2013)

All I want in life is to pull off the 1920's bob that Daisy and Jordan so effortlessly could. No wonder Nick and Gatsby wanted them.

9. Marie Antoinette (2006)

I probably would have been best friends with the real Marie Antoinette, but mostly to steal her clothes and sit around eating sweets while drinking champagne all day in the palace with her.

10. Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

While Keira Knightly looks badass in pirate garb, I can't help but drool over the corset and lacy gowns that she utterly detests.

And finally, I saved the best and most cliche for last, that being...

11. The Notebook (2004)

I'm rather biased with this one when you take my girl-crush on Rachel McAdams and my unhealthy obsession with 1940s fashion into consideration. But come on, do you blame me? She's still jaw-droppingly beautiful in a dress that's been through a thunderstorm; not to mention her day-old makeup and hair after she comes back to Noah.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
