Last week we were lucky enough to guest blog on FashionVent.com where we gave readers the 101 on how to get Olivia Palermo's look with some wardrobe basics. Today we decided to turn those tips into outfits, and show you how we snagged the fashionista's amazing style!
~
Fashion can be a hard game to play, but one style siren who has
her opponents against the wall every time is Olivia Palermo. Whether she’s
gracing the red carpet or running errands, this brunette never steps a foot
wrong. But don’t worry; you won’t need her megawatt bank account to get her
enviable style.
If we’ve learnt anything from style stalking her, it’s that
Olivia is a serial recycler when it comes to her fashion choices, but unlike
some critics, we applaud her for this. For us, when we look at her outfits, we
see a handful of well-loved staples and a whole lot of smart styling and
accessorising. Yes, statement pieces are guaranteed to spice up any old outfit,
but if you want a wardrobe that will carry you through thick and thin, and from
season to season and trend to trend, then staples are your best friends. It’s
about investing in tried and true pieces that you know will work with anything
you throw at it.
Call it the power of 3, but we’ve brainstormed a trio of wardrobe
must-haves that will have you a real contender in the fashion game.
The Chambray:
Comfort meets style is the best way to
describe this final must-have. The chambray is a little bit Western and a
little preppy.
The Black Blazer:
The black blazer is a true wardrobe
workhorse. It offers infinite styling potential which will give you bang for
your buck.
The White Blouse:
When it comes to versatility, the white
blouse scores off the charts every time. Over a pair of distressed jeans or
tucked into a fitted skirt, the white blouse works with just about everything!
Tip: From
the office to girls’ night out and everything in between, consider this look as
a guide to making the most of your wardrobe basics. Olivia shows us that there
are no rules when it comes to fashion. Move over boring trousers and pin
skirts! A white blouse paired with some well-fitting shorts or your favourite skirt
makes for a power house couple that will take you from work to date night.

You girls did well styling all of these. These seem to be key clothing pieces on everyone's fashion blog and sadly I don't own any of it (yet) but thanks for the inspiration. Rachel xo
ReplyDeleteThat's ok Rachel! You don't have to own these specific pieces, these are just some that Olivia likes to recycle and rewear. Basics/staples can be anything from a plain white tee to a pair of black jeans. It's about the versatility of the pieces

LOVE this post...it´s such an inspiration .)

These are great interpretations of versatile pieces! I love the black blazer for everyday, and chambray for relaxed/chic. You look beautiful in all three :)

I'm a big fan of the white blouse, and I love how you've translated Olivia's look in that last outfit (though I think great legs are definitely key in pulling off the shorts!!). Great post!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! What we love about the white blouse is that it can be dressed up or down which Olivia does so often!

So cute and pretty!

I love blazers! I just need to find one that fits right! ^_^ Lovely outfits! Loved each one!
ReplyDeleteLooking for the perfect blazer was defikntiely a challenge for us!! We're what we like to refer to as "vertically challenged, so finding a blazer that didn't look like a butlers coat on us was hard!! But they're definitely a staple!

I love all three looks!! I really like the message of stocking up and investing in basics. Congrats on the guest blog by the way!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we tried to show with these outfits, because let's face it, most of us don't have the money (or wardrobe space) to wear a completely different outfit everyday! Thank you, we were super excited about our feature!!

Love this post! Oliva was one of my first style icons, and I love how you guys broke down her basics and showed how these pieces + accessories could be incorporated into our own wardrobes! (+ having her arm/man candy doesn't help either ;) )

Wow! You have really taken the articles of clothing and interpreted it into something completely affordable and creative!

Your outfits are so cute.:) My ultimate favorite is the first one with the skirt and chambray shirt. It's the perfect spring outfit. The second outfit is nice as well. Very chic, sophisticated, and businesslike too. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving your sense of style. Take care. <3
Thanks Jannie!! The first is definitely a more relaxed and fun outfit while the second is a bit more classy
