I love this look from Ms. Blake Lively.
Although the proportions are a bit off, her use of bright colors and bold pattern work surprisingly well together. Plus, the drama of her outfit distracts the paparazzi from her relaxed hair and make-up.
If you're feeling bold enough to pull off this look, I already went shopping for you and found these budget-friendly items:
Coat: French Connection's "Leopard Love Coat" $59.99
Dress: Delia's "Twist-Front" Knit Dress $39.95
Tights: Jessica Simpson $7.99
Shoes: Aldo Plotner $34.98
And since I realized that I have similar pieces in my own closet, I put it all together and here's what I got:
I don't think I'd wear this out in public because, well, I just can't think of any place I'd wear it too!
Would you be bold enough to try this look? If not all at once, which individual pieces would you wear?
I definitely would on a non-work day. I have to say I much prefer your jacket to hers! I love Blake, sometimes on gossip girl they give her the most obnoxious styles to wear, and sometimes she looks great. There was one time she had this horrible metallic jacket and crazy up high madonna wrapped ponytail thing, I wanted to cry...

I'm not a fan of her jacket. I think the cut of yours is much prettier, but regardless I don't think I'm bold enough for leopard print. I love her shoes though!
ReplyDeleteI love the tights and the blue shoes. I definitely couldn't pull off the jacket aaaaaand I have a large chest which would make each of the green dresses give me a bit of a preggers look haha. So, I'll stick with the shoes and the tights!
ReplyDeleteso...i'm not gonna lie...i actually kind of didn't like blake's outfit at all, but then when i saw the similar look you put together i really liked it. maybe it's just cause you're so adorable :). ok...but i think it's also because the proportions of your outfit are a bajillion times better. it looks a bit frumpy on blake, but lovely on you.
ReplyDeletemaybe you could wear this to a girl's night. i keep telling becca we should get all fancied up and go out, so maybe you can come along and wear this :).
How fun! I love that you went out and found these online! Plus, you already have it in your closet? Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love that Delia's dress, so cute!
I remember this episode! I LOVE that green dress and those little blue boots. You look super cute in your interpretation, too -- although I have to admit that I have no idea where I'd wear it either!

I think the outfit would be totally wearable if you swapped the boots for some black shoes!
