S2E9: Carla, Palm Tree Print

Carla barely stands still long enough in this episode to grab a screen shot of this sweater, but when she does, it’s magic.

S1E19: Carla, Hawaiian Prints

One of my all-time favorites (again). Having grown up on Kauai, I am biased towards anything in Hawaiian print, the kitchier the better. So this look is right up my alley.

(In the bottom picture, Carla is hanging out at the bar watching Diane reading a bartending manual and laboriously attempting to make a Bloody Mary from scratch. Sam asks Carla why she’s torturing Diane, pointing out to the poor old sap that they have Bloody Mary mix in the refrigerator. Carla replies, “I wanted to see her try to make vodka.”)

An assortment of modern Hawaiian prints:

Diane Chambers

Diane Chambers De-Girlified

As you can see from the last few posts about Diane (Valentine’s Day, Pilgrim Shirts, and Sweaters), her wardrobe is often an explosion of ineffectual femininity: pastel pinks and purples (the weakest colors on the wheel), kitten heels (the most useless type of heel there is), sweater vests (I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw a woman wearing a sweater vest), and pussy bow blouses (the name is so vile I can’t even bring myself to say it out loud). She might as well be wearing hearts and rainbows and unicorns and actual vaginas on her person. I don’t even want to find modern alternatives.

However, when Diane deviates from the safety of her cable knits, as with her oft-repeated go-to of silk shirts paired with vests, it is easy to imagine a less girly version. A touch of masculinity could go a long way for Diane. (Then again, a touch of femininity could do wonders for dear old Carla.) Diane Chambers, de-girlified:
