Aussie Curves: Celeb Copycat {She Wore What}

 Celebrity Copycat week pushed me over the edge a bit. I tried and failed to get photos on more than one occasion. Things weren’t lining up. I was taking things a bit too literally. But when I can across this photo of Rachel Bilson online, I knew that I wanted to do an outfit inspired by this outfit. I really, REALLY wish I had a pair of hot pink, wide-leg pants. But alas, I don’t. I knew I had a white tee, blazer and some new statement sunnies. So I went from there. And this is the result.

I said to Hubby on our way back from getting the photos that I think this is a look I’d be happy to wear. Block colours, streamlined lines, casual and cool. It’s my new thing. I want to make my wardrobe work for that relaxed feel of Katherine Hepburn in days of old. Rachel Bilson, Khloe Kardashian and Nicole Richie are other ladies with laid back styles I love. I think the hair is taking over. I used to love to look polished all the time, and my hair would fight against that. So I’m embracing a whole new style.

And did you see!! I found black ‘suede’ wedges at KMart. FINALLY. Oh my goodness, I have been looking everywhere for a simple pair of wedges all year. Everything I found was too fussy or high or low or ugly. A simple black, high-heeled wedge can take you anywhere if you ask me. Work, parties, events, and even random stuff where you want the height or magical leg elongation thing. Anyway. Suffice to say that I’m pretty darn excited to have found them even if they ARE at least half a size too small.

      Lucky swap indeed! It’s a bit fabulous. I added an extender piece to make it this long and love it more than ever. Until my hair catches in it, then OUCH.

  3. That necklace makes you look tall! And the heels are cute! I really like this outfit :)

      So glad I found them. Thank goodness, been looking for ages. Thank you Carly.

  4. Rachel Bilson has great style, and those pink wide leg pants are killer! You did a great job shopping your wardrobe and channeling her look. You look fabulous as always.

      She absolutely does. I found myself bookmarking a bunch of her outfit images. Really expanding my ideas on what I wear at the moment. It’s a nice change. And I’ve made it my mission in life to find some pants like these, so I’m going to learn to sew. I’m THAT desperate for them.

      Thank you. xo

  5. Another fab outfit lovely lady! Those pants are to die for right! I love your interpretation! Awesome job!

      Thaaaaanks! I’m loving it a bit myself. Might be worked in as a bit of a signature look, given all the blazers I now own. Haha.

  10. Totally fab Hun the necklace really brings it all together. Thanks for the heads up about the wedges I be needing them too.

      Thank you. It was a fun week this week. Once I stopped freaking out and obsessively scrolling through celeb photo galleries. Haha.

  14. You know, I never really thought about it, but I can see how Rachel Bilson’s fashion is similar to yours. She does like her blazers like you! I really wish that plus size wide length pink pants existed! I’m also very in love with your sunnies!

      It is, isn’t it. So random when I came across her, I just kept saving images. So that’s a sign, right. Very similar style. Looking forward to developing my own look a little and seeing where it ends up.

      Seriously. We NEED to find these pants in a plus size.

  15. You look gorgeous. What a stylish chic look you have going there, just like Rachel Bilson. :-) Love your sunnies so much.

      Thank you Bek. Finding my way as we go along, that’s for sure.

  16. Loving this look on you. Clean lines and blazers are awesome. Rachel Bilson has great style. Awesome that you’ve been inspired to explore your own style from this outfit. Can’t wait to see where that takes you. Oh and if you find those pants in pink, link please!!

      Thanks Jeanie. And yes, it opened up some doors and I’m a bit excited by the prospect actually. I’ve been just bumping on from one outfit to another but it finally feels like I’m nutting out my own style.

      And did you see, another necklace! Go me. :P

      1. Yes I noticed the necklace uber impressed. =)

  17. Ahahaha Suger this look is totally you! I can see you making this a wardrobe essential!!

      I know, right!? Or is that bad, like I haven’t really tried very hard? Either way. That is EXACTLY what I said to Kel. I can see it becoming a staple look. I have all these maxi skirts, might as well use them. ;)
