Caroline – Lace Print Blouse (8.7.12)

Look: Caroline - Lace Print Blouse (8.7.12)
Amish chic? Stepford wife chic? I’ve heard lots of mixed feelings about this look, let me know what you think. To be fair I can’t quite determine if this is a blouse + skirt, or a dress, so I had a hard time finding The Real Deal. The blouse however has a peter pan lace inset collar, as well as what looks to be pin tuck pleats up the front to give a tuxedo look. The back has button up enclosures. The skirt has a somewhat apron effect. Leave me your comments and let me know if you find The Real Deal.

Hope – Black Fitted Shirt (7.31.12)

Look: Hope - Black Fitted Shirt (7.31.12)
Hope is wearing black! It’s a fitted button up, pocketed number, which is also quite fitting with her new ‘take no crap’ attitude. I like this side of Hope. I also like that the black shirt was paired with the navy pants, and with loaded on accessories. You might remember this bracelet back in February too (but sorry sold out). Here are some shirt options

Allison – Diamond Print Blouse (6.20.12)

Oh Princess. $Bill now just seems like the idea guy, while you are the facilitator. The real bad guy doing the dirty work. Joe Pesci in Casino bad guy. Ok maybe not that bad, but not many gals have the constitution to do this line of work. And while Allison has been the player behind the scenes in Puglia, her wardrobe has been kind of ‘meh’. However I do like how this pale printed blouse was brought to life with the jeans and the bright red belt. Here’s the blouse:

Katie- Python Print Blouse 2 (6.19.12)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This isn’t a repeater though. It’s just a similar blouse, with different shades of python to the one I went cra-zee over when Katie wore it on the May 10th episode. In this version of the blouse however, the python print pops a little more. And yes that’s a scowl on Katie’s face, as she becomes aware of her hubby being a snake in the grass in Puglia. Here’s the Real Deal. You can still buy the less expensive similar Real World versions that are on that May post:

Hope – Sheer Spotted Blouse (6.11.12)

Funny how Hope was able to do a wardrobe change on the jet, but Steffy is left just with the clothes on her back from LA (mind you a great outfit). Hope paired this spotted sheer blouse this with bright emerald green shorts and a coral fringe belt with coral and neutral accessories. Looks like a Puglia ready landing outfit. We only saw it for a milli-second though as she jumped into ‘kini gear as soon as she arrived to hotel. Can’t blame her, I’d probably do the same thing. Anyhow, if you want to get a little more wear out of this number here is the Real Deal and a Real World version:

Steffy- V Neck Blouse & Extra Long Necklace (6.5.12)

This necklace must be a good 120″ long. And I’m also guessing it’s some bead or shell material. I think the oversized necklace set on a slouchy blouse looks so west coast chic. It must be the week of front braids too; both Katie and Steffy. Anyways, I don’t know where to find this necklace, but to copy the look, the longer the better. The blouse looks like this Vince blouse, long in the back as Steffy is wearing it and open up a button or two for a plunging neckline (and with sleeves rolled up!):

Hope – Green Blouse/ Navy Necklace (5.22.12)

This is a throwback to 80’s preppy with the green and navy combo, which offers some whimsy…but this may be a little too matronly a look for Hope. Just saying. She is such a natural beauty and I love the necklace…You know what? I’m just going to stop talking, you be the judge. This Real Deal Talitha blouse by J Crew is sold out of this green, but it is still available in red and fuchsia. Here are also some similar necklaces as well.

Katie – Bright Blouse (5.23.12)

Nobody seems too happy about Katie being pregnant. I hate that when you give what you would expect to be good news, only to be met with the stink face. She tried; with a big bright smile, and a big bright blouse to match. But even that didn’t de-ice Brooke’s reaction to the news. I love seeing Katie in bright colors, and this one is about as high on the bright scale as you can get. I am almost positive that this Zara shirt is the Real Deal:
