Celebrity looks- Jennifer Aniston

by Katie Haller

I think it’s time for another celebrity to look post. My last celebrity looks post was on Cameron Diaz.  For this post, I’d like to feature the style of Jennifer Aniston.  I’ve always been a fan of Jennifer Aniston.  I was a huge fan of her as Rachel Green on Friends.  Even then, I loved her style.  She has always had this great fashion sense about her.  I love that she is a big Hollywood movie star, yet she always seems to dress so down to earth.  Whether she’s on the red carpet, filming a movie or just walking on the street in jeans and a T-shirt, she always knows how to look effortlessly.  This is why I love to use her for inspiration when picking out an outfit.  It’s actually really easy to recreate her looks.  She wears clothes that almost everyone has in their closets. 
Here is what I came up with when recreating some Jennifer Aniston looks.
For this first look, she wore a black blazer, white button-down, jeans, and black pumps.  Here is what I found in my closet. 
Black Blazer- Forever 21
Jeans- Express
Button Down- New York & Company
Shoes- BCBG’s- TJ Maxx
I’m looking forward to summer clothes and this outfit is perfect for that.  Jennifer Aniston wore khaki shorts, a grey T-shirt, a brown belt and strappy wedge sandals.
Grey shorts- Old Navy
Grey T-shirt- Target
Brown Belt- Old Navy
Wedge sandals- Kohl’s
This is another simple look to recreate.  Jennifer is wearing a black pencil skirt, grey tank top, black sweater, and nude-colored shoes.
Black sweater- Macy’s
Black skirt- Salvation Army
Grey Tank Top- Forever 21
Nude Pumps- Target
Jennifer Aniston is a great celebrity to look to for style inspiration.  Her looks are simple and easy to recreate yourself.  You should try!

Katie’s Closet~Weekend Wardrobe

by Katie Haller

I post a lot of my work outfits from the weekdays, but I don’t post many of my weekend outfits. The weekends are my days to play catch up. I usually run errands and spend time at home, so I like to be comfortable and casual, but still look cute. So here is my grocery store, errand running, casual Saturday look.
Striped Shirt- Old Navy
Skinny Jeans- Old Navy
Sweater- Target
Belt- Old Navy
Shoes- Toms- Nordstrom
Causal and comfortable, does not have to mean frumpy. How do you dress on the weekends?

Celebrity Looks- Cameron Diaz

by Katie Haller

In our culture, celebrities are the trendsetters.  They live in the public eye and are always being photographed.  Everyone always looks to see what celebrities are wearing.  I know that I am always looking to see what celebrities are wearing for inspiration.  I can’t copy their looks exactly.  They can afford all the expensive designers that I can’t.  What I can do is use their looks as a guideline.
My first featured celebrity for this post is… Cameron Diaz.  I have always been a fan of her movies and her style.  She has a fun wild side, but also a casual laid back look.  She’s girly…yet has a tomboy look at times as well.  People have always told me that I look like her.  I think that’s a reason why I have always gravitated towards her for inspiration. 
Here are a few of her looks that I recreated…

My first look was really simple. Cameron wore a black 3/4 sleeve sweater, white cropped pants, black pumps with a fun bracelet to accessorize. 
What I found in my closets…
Black sweater- Express
White pants- Target
Black pumps- BCBG’s- Marshall’s  
Silver chain bracelet- H&M
I love this casual look. Cameron wore a slouchy sweater, jeans, brown flat boots and a big over size bag. 
My closet…
Slouchy sweater- Express
Jeans- Old Navy
Brown Boots- DSW 
For this look Cameron wore peachy pink jeans with a simple white top, beige blazer, strappy heals and a black over size bag. Here is what I found in my closet.
Grey Blazer- LC Lauren Conrad Kohls
Red jeans (I don’t have any lighter colored jeans)-Kohls
White T-Shirt- Target
Black purse- Chinese Laundry- Nordstroms
Bronze peep toe heals- Jessica Simpson- Marshall’s
Celebrities can offer some great inspiration when it comes to putting together outfits. I can’t wait to share more of my favorites!
