Set during the hazy summer months in Toronto, Take this Waltz, starring Michelle Williams and Seth Rogan examines the magnetic pull of a new love affair and what happens when old love dissipates. Michelle’s character, Margot is a happily married woman who falls in love with the artist who lives across the street. Aside from the romantic scandals that ensue, we love Margot’s super retro style filled with preppy plaids, denim shorts, vintage dresses that embody perfect casual summer style.
We are enamored with Margot’s retro red and white polka dot dress – perfect for dancing the night away on cool summer nights.
She looks effortlessly chic in this 60’s inspired cotton checkered square-neck dress.
Denim has recently been making a come back and this mini looks great paired with a sleeveless paisley print blouse and ankle strap sandals – perfect for taking a stroll on warm summer evenings.
We love Margot’s colorful plaid tank top paired with denim shorts! It’s the quintessential preppy summer look we’re currently lusting after.
For a more feminine flair, tie your button down blouse and pair it with a cute pair of cut off shorts.
As the film takes place in Toronto, where the vintage scene is quite competitive and becoming well noticed from vintage lovers around the world, we thought we’d give you insight to our favorite vintage boutiques in Toronto to achieve Margot’s ultra cute retro style.
