5 favorite looks from Carrie

So with this whole SATC fever spreading around the globe Like a frenzy of fashionable fire ants I thought it would only be expected for ROF to put up a post of a few favorite selected outfits that we've loved throughout the series. (in no particular order).





The Tu-Tu.
Now who ever said Carrie never wore bargains?!!
“I remember I bought that tutu for $5!” said Rebecca Weinberg, one of the show's stylists.
The Tu-Tu came back in the first movie as Carrie cleaned out he wardrobe to move in with Mr Big. The girl's unanimous vote? A Must-Keep.






The colourful trio.

Has anyone noticed that it's always windy in Manhatten! Every season I watch there's a reasonable amount of scenes where carrie's grabbing at her skirt in the fear it may fly off. Poor thing- there is nothing worse than trying to avoid a public Marilyn Monroe moment.
Back to the outfit- I am a uniform black dresser, but Carrie’s season 5 ensemble, which included a sweater from US mall staple, Club Monaco, a dress by department store Nanette Lepore and a Chanel jacket really inspires me to inject a whole lot of colour into my wardrobe.
Add a gust of wind and I'm halfway to being Carrie!







The fresh-off-the-runway vest.

By the time Carrie was preparing to marry Mr. Big in the first movie, she (and the SATC costume designers) had secured super current runway styles, like the Proenza Schouler military vest and studded strappy sandals from their Spring 2008 collection.
I really love the structure of the jacket and the fluid silhouette of the skirt. And the cheeky English-policeman hat is a great accessory!






Nautical stripes in Paris.

Okay, so minus that er, flower (?) thing on the front of her top, I really love mis-matching stripes. Especially when they're Sonia Rykiel. And geeeeuz that skirt looks flatering. A good stripe in a good knit, in a good season (6) can do all of the wonders in the world!






That fur jacket.

I do not condone the killing of animals but I do love this. A vintage racoon jacket originally bought in season one has made it's sneaky way back in as a layering piece throughout the series.
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the rest d the outfit. That shade if Red clutch with the fur, the studded gloves. Gaaaaahh, this is what I'm wearing this week.
