Style Spotlight: Rachel Bilson

If I had to pick one girl whose casual style I love the most, Rachel wins.

Why?

Her outfits are often comprised of items I already own. And if I have a lot of her basics, chances are so do you.

White blouse? Check.
Dark wash skinnies? Check
Brown belt and shoes? Check
Sunglasses? Check
Dog? Sadly, no. But I can borrow one. Her pup is named Thurman Murman. Cute!

I just bought a new black blazer (haven't even worn it yet) and you can bet I'll be adding a striped shirt and grey jeans with it someday. I love her fedora too.

The black blazer and bottoms would be great with almost any color shirt underneath. Try a solid in a crazy bright color to make it hot for spring 2012.

The pieces are so simple, but she looks amazing.

Yes, her outfits are probably super-expensive. BUT.... they're basics. You can buy the $30 version of the blazer instead of the $500 version. It won't be as high quality, but it'll do the trick for as long as it stays intact! A trick for buying lower priced items - check the seams by giving them a gentle tug. Any substantial give at the seam means it won't hold up for very long.
