Channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw.

As a lot of you may already know I am a tad bit obsessed with the Carrie Diaries,

okay I'm SUPER obsessed. 

Not only have I read the book, but I also watch the show on the CW,  which comes on mondays at 8! 

And after watching the show and reading the book, I see a lot of Carrie Bradshaw in me.

Especially since she loves fashion and writing, the book had me convinced at times I was Carrie.

I love the fashion, the hair, and the make-up on the show. I love how Carrie's outfits are so daring and never safe. Even if she is wearing just jeans she manages to add a different touch to her outfits with an outrages printed cardigan, sweater, or even shirt.

After watching yesterday's episode, "Caught!" I fell in love with Carrie's whole outfit for the dance, but since I have no where to go I can't wear a beautiful dress like her. I decided to recreate her hair, but adding my own casual Carrie look.

 

This hairstyle is really simple to do. I curled my hair with a baby curler, the smallest size it comes with. Twisting your hair in the back before putting it in a side ponytail to add more volume. And don't forget your choice in the color of ribbon to create your simple headband. 

Now for my Carrie inspired casual outfit. I decided to go with a crazy printed skirt, because Carrie loves her prints. This skirt actually has little dalmatians on it, it's high waisted and the belt was included.

For the top, I decided to go with a simple, white laced crop top just so the outfit wouldn't be too busy! The crazy thing about this shirt is that I almost bought an exact same one from Top Shop, the only difference was that Top Shop's was short sleeved. The top shop one was about $30 and I got mine for about $5-8, I believe. MONEY SAVER! For shoes I went with simple beige oxfords that aren't shown in these pictures. Also not shown in this picture is my "K" necklace because Carrie always wears her "C."
