Featuring Kiley Shuffett When Christie suggested a fun "Inspired By" series for the Fashion section, I immediately thought of Jess Day, the adorable, manic-pixie-dream-girl Zooey Deschanel portrays on television's New Girl. Although I really like the way they dress Jess's character, I wouldn't say it's always my cup of tea...it just so happened I had the PERFECT pieces sitting in my closet and was able to put this look together with ease. If you're even somewhat "girlish" (see what I did there), I'm betting you can too! First thing's first....this polka dot sweater. Jess has been known to say "I rock a lotta polka dots." and I have been known to wear this sweater at least once a week. And can we talk about how "Jess Day" this skirt is? It is a flouncy skater skirt with BOWS AND POLKA DOTS ON IT. I was randomly given this skirt FO FREE when I finished my first temping job at a clothing company here in New York City. I have only worn it a handful of times, but isn't it so perfect for this inspired look? I continued to rock the polka dots with a subtle print on my tights. Finally, the cherry on top... (This is maybe the most indulgent photo of me ever taken) I bought this Kate Spade purse on Black Friday of last year when I saw that it was, quite literally, a quarter of the original cost. Somehow, I've had the self-restraint to leave this little gem in it's packaging and *officially* brought it out last weekend. I absolutely ADORE this thing...it looks like candy. Jess Day would approve! To re-create a Jess Day inspired look, all you have to do is look inside your closet. I guarantee you have a patterned skirt, polka dot tights, and a fun sweater or brightly-colored top just waiting to paired together! Add a collared shirt (bonus points if it has a cutesy print on it) beneath the sweater, or bow headband to complete the look! Jess might always seem to look straight out of a magazine of American Girl Doll clothes (true story), but it's because she isn't afraid to pair something feminine with something even more feminine! Stay tuned for my second character-inspired look....any guesses as to who it might be? Until next time :) Outfit details:
