Hope – Slim Fit Blue Denim (12.21.12)

Look: Hope - Slim Fit Blue Denim (12.21.12)
Lots of requests on these jeans, and a reader find by our friend Laurie, so had to post. I love this color as you know; bright blue, cobalt, or lapis is the pretentious color term for ‘bright blue’. I’ll be honest this episode inspired me to style my bright blue pants with a grey topper. It also inspired me to always listen to my husband and never doubt him. I’m kidding that’s silly talk, just trying to relate to the story line. Thanks for the find Laurie! Laurie also found the J Crew stretch twill pants which are a similar and a less casual look. Nice finds, thanks!

Hope – Owl Sweater (11.15.12)

Look: Hope - Owl Sweater (11.15.12)
I have received lots of colorful commentary on this colorful sweater. If you were on the nay-say, does it make a difference to you that Kate Moss was seen wearing this Burberry RTW F12 owl sweater? Whimsy, cool?  So obviously Hope’s is a less expensive version of the runway version, so you too could channel your inner Hope or the divine Ms Moss. Up to you, but be prepared, your 6 your old niece will love it, the fashionista’s will literally tip their hats to you on the street but your love interest is going to think it is zero sexy.

Hope – Red Lace Dress (11.12.12)

Look: Hope - Red Lace Dress (11.12.12)
Hope looks fantastic in red lace without looking all Frederick’s of Hollywood. Although I think the thought has crossed Liam’s mind if there might be some of that under all that dress. Oh Liam. Look to your left, look to your left, Steffy is no happy about your little chit chat. There are a few dresses like this on the market, but The Real Deal of this one is by Free People. It has that front scallop hemline that I caught a glimpse of but it was not a good enough screen cap to show how pretty Hope looks.

Hope – Red Shorts & Polka Dot Blouse (10.16.12)

Look: Hope - Red Shorts & Polka Dot Blouse (10.16.12)
I know that sad panda face so well now. Poor Hope. Not even a cheery print can lighten her spirits. We first saw Hope wear The Real Deal of this polka dot blouse by J Crew here back in April. The black and white one seems to be sold out, but it is available in blue tones. I have included another similar one that is on the market now. Also the red skort looking shorts have an exposed side zipper, and I just can’t seem to find The Real Deal, so I have included a couple similar versions. I haven’t seen her footwear yet to see how this all ties together, but I like the red with the blouse and the long necklace. Guesses on the shoe before next airing when we will hopefully see? Nude wedge? Black pumps?

Hope – Ruffle Blouse (10.10.12)

I should teach this girl to play poker because she sure can keep a poker face. She held her own just fine confronting and bantering with Steffy, and her tough sarcasm was actually quite fun to watch. I’m also enjoying her fall wardrobe; her oxblood pants with this blood orange ruffle blouse. Why am I using so many blood descriptions? I don’t know maybe I’m foreshadowing things to come. Here are some similar options.

Hope – Snake Print Skirt (10.1.12)

Hope is not going to be happy when all of those lies get revealed. But she’s toughening up and she’s looking pretty and tough in her snake print skirt. What a well done styling for this print. It is a great pencil fit and a good length that is age appropriate for everyone. To go out at night, wear with a white tank and a crop leather jacket.

Look: Hope - Lace Print Dress (9.17.12)
Whenever I am asked to do an ad-hoc photo-shoot, I am ready to go 0% of the time. I’m usually wearing yoga clothes and with my hair in a ponytail. Actually I’m never asked to do an ad-hoc photo-shoot. But Hope is asked A LOT, and she is ready to go 100% of the time. I like how this kind of antique looking lace print dress is worn with the antique pearl strands. Here is The Real Deal and a less expensive version to get the look

Look: Hope - Paisley & Chambray (9.4.12)
How does Hope pull off vandalism as adorablz? Well, I do declare, I like this current outfit mix better than before with this J Crew skirt we first saw back here in June. (Remember the neon sweater?). And we saw this classic chambray style shirt here at the end of May with that bright A line mini and the tie. Unfortunately the skirt is sold out. Sorry. If you are looking for a chambray shirt staple, here’s one below
