Hope – Bandage Skirt (Monte Carlo, June 2012)

Looks like Kim Matula is also sexifying it up a little more while she is in Monte Carlo, representing the crew at the 52nd Annual TV & Film Awards. The color of the bandage skirt is so mint on trend, and her strappy heels are the only way to go. I have a feeling The Bold and the Beautiful rolled one of the hottest crews of cast members into the event.

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:

Hope – Neon & Paisley (6.5.12)

Maybe I am not fashiony enough, but I would play it safer with these pieces. I’m all for mixing patterns and colors, but the paisley skirt with the muted tones in there….wouldn’t this look fresh and on trend with a crisp white blouse? Keep the big necklace, although I might pick a different one. And same with the top. Let’s face it, neon isn’t the easiest to wear unless it’s in the form of a bikini with a rockin’ tan, but Hope really can wear this little neon sweater and manage to look even brighter. I would have just liked to have seen it with some white pants like the ones Steffy was wearing today. But maybe I’m being boring. In any case. here are the Real Deal pieces if you want to copy the look entirely, or break it up. You know where my vote is:

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.

Hope – Polka Dot Dress (Italy)

Bella! You must admit not only does Hope usually look pretty in polka dots, but this style of dress is perfect for her. I can’t quite tell if her shoes are coral, red or orange, but they work perfect with the dress. Here is the Real Deal and some other versions. I threw a small capped sleeve version in there because I know not everyone likes to wear sleeveless.

Hope – Polka Dot Skirt (5.11.12)

Again, I nearly fell our of my chair when I saw Hope wearing black, and for a second day in a row. But then I realized the color was navy. But I laughed when the camera panned down to her polka dot skirt. I’m not laughing at the outfit ( it’s cute), I was laughing because of the last post I just made commenting on her wearing of polka dots. I hope you aren’t in love with the skirt because it is sold out. May be worth checking back or on ebay. Some similar versions out there though to get the look. I thought the simple fitted T worked, and so did the orange purse (not shown obv):

Hope – Contrast Tunic Dress (5.7.12)

I can’t believe my eyes. Hope is wearing black. Not a floral on black, not a black polka dot…but a straight up black dress (ok with the ‘makes the dress’ white contrasting). No long necklaces or bangles, just a cool, simple tunic dress, with an undone feel to it, especially with the cuffs unbuttoned. I’m telling you Steffy fans will hate this dress, but Steffy could just as easily be wearing this and rock it. Mind you, Steffy would style with a wedge bootie vs a pump, but either way… here you go:

Hope – Polka Dot Blouse (4.23.12)

Monday’s are always days to make decisive moves, yes? You have the entire weekend to think about things like, ‘I’m never drinking again’, or ‘I’m going to the gym 5x this week’. Hope just so happened to decide she doesn’t want to be friends with Amber anymore. Probably a wise decision. She also woke up and decided to wear a quirky girl/preppy/nautical style outfit. The blouse is by J Crew and if you look closely it actually has a jacquard ivory polka dot as well. Kind of fun. The red long necklace accessorizing totally works. Cute!
