hope you have had a happy 4th. Me? Well, i spent my day working and then went to target to treat myself to working so hard that day. Then I came home and had a nice long glass of wine and set off huge sparklers with jeremy [my fiance] and abby [my sister and best friend] and off to bed it was for me, i'm a morning person not a night owl! so my family continued to set off a ton of fire works when i was conked out in bed.
Anywhoo on to my blog! I love mary kate olsen, i just get inspiried every time i look at her. she has impecciable style, even though some would LOVE to disagree. I do admit, somtimes she looks like a crazy lady that picked her clothes out of the dumpster, but there is almost always somthing that I love about her outfit. I decided to do this blog because as we speak i am uploading a makeup tutorial onto my youtube [purplepolkadots00] on a mary kate inspiried makeup tutorial. hope you check that out!
So, how would i described mary kate's style? she is very boho, but biker at the same time. tons of black, bangles, always so much jewlery, messy hair, outfits that look messy and yet put together at the same time. she is her own person, and always will be a person for inspiration.
So if you want to dress like ms. mary kate olsen that its really not hard. here are my tips and some pictures for inspiration:
1. oversized everything![duh!] wether its some bell bottoms or a huge chunky sweater, shirt, ring, pendant, etc. do it! i shy away from this trend since i am bigger and by wearing anything that is sooo oversized it just makes me look way larger. where as mary kate is basically a bag of bones, and nothing could make her look bigger.
2. black, mary kate does add a pop of color more then likely everytime. but there has been many a time where it has been a very black and black outfit. which is always stylish. if this is to extreme for you, but you like the idea then try the all black, but have the top have some type of color in it. or wear a nice red bag.
3. berets [am i spelling that right??] you know those little hats that you wear on the back of your head? i know you do! mary kate olsen loves these hats [as does my sister] and they are always a nice way to add some color to your outfit. i can't say that they keep you very warm, but they are always cute. you can try to pull them off in the summer, i never have tried but hey if you love it do it!
4. sunnies, as with everything else she loves very big sun glasses, these are the easiest to get your hands on and buy. just make sure that they still fit your face! her are always huge, round, and dark. this one style is what i use the most to incorperate mary kate into my outfit, because it is the easiest.
5. heels, i know i know they kill your feet [as they do mine] but very rarely will you see ms. olsen without them! she likes them with a very high heel [5inches anyone?] and in all kind of ways. i see her in black a lot, but not always. another shoe trend for her is the biker boot, this might be easier for some of you.
6. leather and fur. while i never wear fur, and hardly ever wear leather, there are some great faux options out there. you can always count on mary kate to have a fur vest, leather motorcycle jacket, or some leather leggings [well probably not leather but anways...], or even a fur/leather accessory. i don't bother with these much because i am into the whole animal cruelty, so i don't ever wear anything that even looks like its made out of fur. but if you are ok with it, try a fur vest. Rachel Zoe has some great ones in her brand that are faux.
7. jewlery, i have always noticed her jewlery always looking antique-y if you know what i mean. usually somthing black, but she does throw some color into it. she wears armloads of bangles or huge cocktale rings take up most of her fingers. huge pendants, or some fun chunky necklaces. i have seen her wear a lot of crosses in some form, and her earrings are rarely simple.
8. tassles and scarves. the tassles go with the boho/biker effect and you can usually find them on her bag, or somtimes on her shirt. i would only do tassles with a bag because for me tassles are to much for myself. and scarves are a really easy way to use some mary kate in your outfit. just make sure its big. doesn't always have to be plain, somtimes there are skulls located on her scarves which i love.
9. skinny jeans and plaid. mary kate will usually resort to a very skinny pant, skinny jeans will always be in for her. you tend to find her in dark wash, even black or grey. but she also loves her plaid. honestly, i think seeing her in plaid rivals the time that you have seen her in black! buy some plaid over sized button ups, they are really cute and have tend to always be in for the fall.
10. skirts and dresses. on the red carpet you can depend on this girl to show up in a form fitting, and to the floor longth gown, on occasion there is a micro sparkly mini thrown in. if this isn't for you because you have passed your prom stage, and you haven't been invited to walk the red carpet then try another trend she loves, maxi skirts. again, anything big and oversized. and while her skirts do fit her, they stick to the big trend of hers. i love maxi skirts they are so simple to wear and so pretty. you can wear them at any time. now you are premitted to wear some nice sandles, or gladiators with this look.
