Lady Bird may not have received any critical accolades for its outfits, but it certainly should have. From bootcut jeans and wool sweaters to T-shirts underneath overall dresses, the early-2000s looks worn by Saoirse Ronan (as Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson) have come back in style.

You may already have a black crossbody bag and white T-shirt, but do you have the much-needed overall plaid dress? Didn't think so.

This pale pink floral midi dress and pearl necklace, which Lady Bird wore to may have been my exact Easter look in 2003. But for those of us who may not have held onto the clothes our parents made us wear when we were young, here are some modern-day alternatives.
