9/13/11 Darling of the Day: Lea Michele’s Jason Wu Look Recreated from Dillards, Avenue, & Payless!


Lea Michele showed up during Fashion Week to help support the designs of Jason Wu, wearing an ensemble by the brand with Brian Atwood pumps.  This look is so easy to recreate & I actually do it everyday for work!

As usual, I’ve featured the look in plus & women’s sizes because it’s universally figure-flattering! An a-line skirt allows you to emphasize the smallest par of your waist, creating that bombshell hourglass shape!  Skirts like the abstract plaid from OneStopPlus for $22.99 & the black & white floral print from Dillards are perfect examples of modern patterns in an a-line that will transform your look from everyday to polished.  Also, the floral print skirt is marked down from $58.00 to $34.80!

A scoop neck black tee like those selected from Avenue for $19.99 & The Gap which costs $12.50 are the basic foundation pieces to any stylish look with a bold print.

As for the shoes, classic round toe pumps like these from Payless will help elongate the legline, while also complimenting the busy print in the skirt. The sale price of $19.99 from $27.99 doesn’t hurt either!

I picked two different textured clutches, a metallic leopard clutch ($16.50) from Charlotte Russe & a green patent croc clutch from Payless ($14.99) to show how the careful mixing of these textures can add dimension to your outfit, while also matching in an unexpected way. And last, but not least, Lea is wearing two cocktail rings, so I picked two that are both edgy & feminine to wear on each hand.  The adjustable spike ring for $4.80 & rhinestone filigree ring for $5.80 are both from Forever 21!  If you’re seeking to replicate Lea’s side-pinned bangs, I even picked out a cute set of bobby pins from Ulta for $2.62!

Do you wear tops tucked into skirts like this?  Are you into bold graphic print skirts?  Would you wear this outfit?  Check out our previous Darling of the Day posts featuring Glee guest-star Gwyneth Paltrow & everybody’s favorite guidance counselor Jayma Mays! Happy Styling!
