Happy Thursday! Or, as I like to call it, Pre-Friday. However, this is not just any Pre-Friday; this day is special. Today marks the return of your TV obsessions, Scandal, and How To Get Away With Murder. We watch these shows for the plot, the drama, the sex, and (you guessed it) the scandal. In addition, we also watch these shows because of the fashion. So in honor of the return of these marvelous shows, and the fact that Viola Davis won a much deserved SAG award, we are going to help you get the looks from Scandal/HTGAWM for less. Now you can dress like a Keating Five, or a gladiator in a suit, whichever you prefer.
Now if you want to be Olivia, first and foremost you are going to need a white hat. She wears hers all the time, even when she is not actually wearing one. We love this one from Express. Yes we know it is technically ivory, but it is also only $49.00. Put it on, and never take it off.
Next, no one rocks a cape like Olivia Pope, but that does not mean you shouldn’t try. Capes are a great item to have in your wardrobe for winter, and can even help you transition into spring wear. But most importantly, it will get you one step closer to being a gladiator. Try this cape from Forever 21, only $47.80.
Okay, so maybe you don’t want to be Olivia, maybe you want to be Annalise. Well then you are going to need a knee length form fitting dress. A lot like this one from H&M, only $34.95.
Also necessary to be Annalise is the leather jacket that started it all. When we are introduced to the edgy character in the first episode, she is wearing an edgy burgundy leather jacket. It is a must have. We love this one from ASOS. It is a younger, and more structured. It has also been marked down from $104.00 to $51.00. There is no excuse not to have it.
Ahh who are we kidding, everyone wants to be Olivia. And for that you will need a power suit. We love these high waisted and wide leg trousers from Zara. They are only $79.90, and they will pair perfectly with this Nine West white blazer from Macy’s, which is also only $79.
What do these women have in common? Well they often wear very feminine tops. This draped and sleeveless blouse from Banana Republic ($40) tells me you want to be a gladiator, and this silk blouse from J Crew ($188) proves you were meant to be a Keating.
Enjoy the return of these shows in style. Happy Thursday Pre-Friday ShondalandDay.
