The older I get, the more I feel a sense of freedom when it comes to fashion. I no longer have as much of that middle-school anxiety about what people might think, and am able to revel in dressing however I please. Since I'm ultra-girly and have a fondness for vintage, it should come as no surprise that I openly covet Emma Pillsbury's wardrobe.
Yes, she's a fictional character {from Glee- a show I don't even watch *ahem* anymore} and there's no way that she, as a High School Guidance Counselor could afford even one fourth of what she wears, {mostly Kate Spade, J Crew and Eva Franco} but that hasn't stopped me from envying her clothes. Her look is sweet, fresh, and undeniably feminine yet buttoned up and mature.
Yesterday, I scoured Goodwill for brightly colored skirts, unusual brooches and patterned blouses. I'm hoping that after an afternoon with a borrowed sewing machine, I'll have an Emma-Pillsbury-inspired outfit for far less than it'd cost to go on a J Crew shopping spree {which is what I'm really craving.} Stay tuned!
Do you have fictional characters that you envy? Who's your fashion icon?

I love that you will make the Emma look work for you with your mad skills. You will rock it!
I'm watching Bones reruns now and I'm always focused on Temperance's unique, often chunky necklaces, a new one every episode. Not my style, but I love the idea of an extensive accessory wardrobe.
no surprise Zooey Deschanel on New Girl is pretty much how I imagine myself in my head {style-wise} I don't watch Glee but those outfits are awesome
I think it's funny that you covet her look because all the way til the third set of photos I was thinking, "you,you, you again...more you..." :)
Lisa Fremont from Rear Window.
And here all this time I thought h was more Colin Farrellish...
WWZDW?
(What Would Zoey Deschanel Wear?)
That is a seriously cute wardrobe. I can't wait to see what you're putting together! You are so talented. And thrifty! :)
I can completely see you in any one of those outfits.
