Vada Sultenfuss
If there was one girl that I wanted to be when I was growing up, it was defintely Vada from My Girl. I think it mostly had to do with the fact that as a 10 year old with complete freedom for a summer - jumping in lakes with her shoes on, riding bikes, mood rings, weeping willows, poems about ice-cream -- agh, so awesome. I want to be in that summer now!
It could have also been her cool tom-boy attitude and the awesome mid-70s vibe of the movie, too....
If I was going to spend my summer like Veda, I wouldn't need much. Just some cutoffs, converse and of course her red lipstick.
I own most of these things but here is my My Girl inspired shopping list:
If you're not familiar with Veda. Get a refresh with the My Girl trailer.
Now, to go find a lake....
