My Fashionable Friends: Chandler

In this new segment I will be spotlighting my friends and how they dress fashionably at an affordable price!

Chandler is more than a friend to me...she is my sister!  Here she is in her 3 favorite outfits, and a little Q&A about her tastes and fashion choices:

Blazer: Guess, 80% off post-Christmas
Jeans: J. Brand skinny - FC
Tank: Express, 2 for 1
Flats: Target

A: How would you describe your style?

C: I like to think of it as business casual, but I’ve had it called sexy secretary by others.

A: What are some of your favorite brands/designers/places to shop?

C: I’m a big fan of H&M because they have what I look for, and it’s affordable. For splurging or basics I shop The Limited and Express fairly often. And of course, having a sister working at The Fairy Circle, I love it there as well.

Shirt: Target, on sale
Shorts: Express, on sale
Wedges: Rack Room, Bogo
Belt: vintage, from Mom

A: If you had to narrow it down, which 3 items could you not live without? or Which 3 items are the key pieces/must-haves of your wardrobe?

C: My J-brand skinnies. My white high waist shorts. My black and white plaid button-up shirt.

A: What is the one accessory or piece of clothing you can never buy enough of?
C: Jackets. I love love love jackets.

A: Who would you say is/are your style inspiration/s?

C: I’m not really sure, probably something like a modern Jackie Kennedy. Just professional looking.

Dress: Express, 40% off
Heels: Kohl's
Necklace: Mom's, turned around

A: Which trend will you try this summer/which trend will you definitely not try?

C: Wide leg. I have larger hips, and short legs...actually I’m just short overall. They would just not work on me.

A: Do you plan your outfits or just throw on something from your closet in the mornings?

C: I plan my outfits in the morning. There’s thought that goes into them, but not prior to morning....Except special events. Those I plan the night before, but sometimes think about for a few days.

A: What could you use more of in your wardrobe?

C: Ha, everyone in my life tells me I need color. 

So, that is Chandler's style in 3 outfits.  She definitely knows how to dress for her body type as well as how to shop for bargains!  I like how each outfit is flattering and different while staying true to her style.  To copy Chandler's style, here are some of the key pieces you'll need ($39.99 or less):
