Paul Rudd is the kind of hot, hip, and self-deprecating-slightly-dorky leading man that makes women realize that men don't have to be testosterone-spewing alpha males to be sexy. Just like sparkly stones don't have to be diamonds to be bedazzling (Rhinestone-encrusted jean jacket? Yes, please! Aunt Mitzi's tennis bracelet full of blood diamonds and also, possibly, the blood of Uncle Marve? No thanks!). So I was especially stoked to hear that Rudd is People's 2021 Sexiest Man Alive. I'm so glad that this once-upon-a-time geeky dreamboat is finally getting his due. Not that joining the Marvel universe as the world's most intrepid insect was too shabby either.
Of course, true fans know that Rudd has had it going on since Clueless. Awhile back, I read an article saying that Rudd, who played Alicia Silverstone's stepbrother-turned-love-interest in the iconic '90s flick, was "a wry forty-year-old" even then (his real age in the movie? A callow twenty-nine.).
Rudd's turn in Clueless is reason enough for me to pull out the plaid (yes, again!). I'm particularly taken with these oh-so-'90s skirts. All they need are a couple of big safety pins.
What's more, their side-by-side contrasting plaid makes for an aesthetic that's classic-meets-edgy. Kind of like the gentlemanly yet slightly snarky Rudd himself. Who, by the way, in response to becoming officially "sexy," quipped that he'll now "have to spend more time on yachts."
Oh, Paul. That dry -- excuse me, wry -- sense of humor is why you'll always be the object of our (and Jennifer Aniston's) affections.

Oh, he never played a character I didn't like. Truly, he's the man. So great that Paul is trending! Such beautiful rainbow and swan necklaces too! We have had a few cold days this week. Maybe the day will be better, but I doubt it. We did join in the first celebration of the weekend for someone's birthday. I was surprised how she was in awe of the sparkly frames of Unicorns. Probably the cheapest gift, but I'm glad she could appreciate them along with lots of girly things. Hope things are warm there and you are finding all your true plaids. Lovely post.
So great that you mentioned Rudd. Finally, someone sensible and real and such a talent. Doesn't he write too?
You have been so creative. Love the necklaces. Awesome treasures! Love that Lauren sweater too!
My weekend at the library. Hopefully, I didn't party too hardy last night..I mean I was in bed a little after nine..yet I awoke a little after two ready to start the day. I don't know why weekends at the library do this to me. But as they say, it takes a village or so to keep it going...=) Oh, the things we are learning..in how to obtain our very own maker's space.
Hope you are staying well and Thanks So much for your comments. Of course, I am trying to get to everyone and keep the stories evolving.
Aw, I had been seeing the covers of magazines in the grocery store line and had noticed about Paul. Yeah! Thanks so much for the post. Yes, he's truly who we hope our husbands and boyfriends grow into. And of course, he's not boring at all. I always enjoy his interviews. And of course, the many characters he's played in guest spots to movies. He has the great indie factor going on too. Truly, such an artist!
Lovely outfit photos too! Thanks so much for being here. Happy Weekend!
Oh, Paul has keep himself well. He's so splendid..and candid..and so much more. Great Colors! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Oh, thank you for readingđź’•
very interesting
Your plaid ensembles truly are fabulously 90's!! I can totally picture especially the first outfit on a character in Clueless. I really love that rustic orange color of the cardigan, with the frills! The Beading Rainbow necklace is totally adorable with the rainbows and ladybug cameo! And the Un-Ugly Duckling Necklace is beautiful with the contrast of white and black, paired with the creamy pearls. I love your shoutout to Paul Rudd in this post; I agree he is superb! His character in Clueless is iconically adorable. Your opening sentence to this post totally sums him up!
I love these tartan outfits! So bright and colourful and such fun accessories too! :)
Hope that you had a great weekend :) We made the most of the warm sunny days after a rainy week :)
