Ahhh, whenever I look at photos of Rachel Bilson and her laid back style I feel like any piece of clothing that might be sitting neglected in my wardrobe might still have potential. She has a way of making a simple tshirt, basic pair of shorts or daggy old cardigan look incredible.The key to Rachel's effortlessly cool style isn't just her signature Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, it's her ability to balance soft femininity with on trend edginess. She seamlessly blends her designer items with department store basics, always maintaining her girl-next-door simplicity.
Here's a few things I keep in mind when I feel like recreating a bit of an understated yet quirky Rachel look...
- There's no need to complicate your looks. Think simple with just one statement piece like a luxe vintage bag or clutch.
- Don't be scared to experiment with shorts for ANY occasion.
- Put on any basic outfit, be it denim shorts and a white tshirt - then add a blazer. A simple summer dress - add a blazer. It may not work at all, but it might also surprise you. Sometimes the most unexpected combination's are the best.
