Get The Look: Rachel Bilson


In my first blog post I mentioned that I like to look to other people for fashion inspiration, whether it’s a celebrity or a random person I meet. I think everyone has their own unique sense of style that is signature to them and that’s what I love about fashion.

While I love Lauren Conrad’s classic, chic style, another person I consider one of my style icons is Rachel Bilson.  I think her everyday style is pretty laid back and casual, but trendy. Perhaps what I love most about her style is the way she layers different piece. Anyone who knows me knows I love to layer clothes, whether it’s multiple shirts or a blazer, cardigan, or scarfs. Layering is perfect in the cooler months to stay nice and warm, but is also practical in the spring to keep warm on a chilly night.

So, as I was browsing through pictures of Rachel Bilson I came across this picture and thought this outfit would be great for casual spring day. The shorts are a little bit longer than what I would typically wear but you can easily cuff the bottoms to achieve a different look. However, I think Rachel makes the shorts work with this outfit. What I love most about this outfit is it can easily transition from day to night. The oversized cardigan keeps it casual enough to be daytime appropriate but the heels give it a more polished look appropriate for nighttime. 

Check out the style file below to see how you can recreate Rachel’s look!

    1. Thanks! They are super comfy too, which is a plus. I hope they have them this fall again so I can get them in a different color!
